Tonight we ran onto elements of the 5th Air Force, and IIIJG11 on the way to target(14). Our ILs made it to base while we tangled with the enemy fighters, a mix of 109s and 110s. Got out with both alot of kills and deaths on us. Survivors headed out, rearmed and went back to 14. Busy gunnin down stuff, skies clear when Gus yells "Dots high!"
Many Brewsters of VF-17 dove on us but luckily Gus's warning allowed us to extend, while Vulcan took one for the team, tying up 4-5 while we ran. Magic's IL went down, and it left BLBird's the sole surviving IL2. We made it home..barely.

That was a good scrap at the end of the frame. :salute :salute Damn you Gus for warning them..thought we were in great position for the pounce! :devil :devil
-
:salute Nightmares VMF-101 for letting my fly this frame. I learned a lot. Using the mission editor is a great idea and should help in keeping new recruits in line :lol
Thunda, :rock I got lucky spotting the Jolly Rogers :salute. I was flying as an observer and we were working over 14 real good when I thought, its time for reinforcements to arrive. Sure enough there was VF-17 in the distance. When will they learn? They should have put you guys in 109Fs.
Cheers,
gus

That was a good fight, right up until you got me Filth. :D
Nice job everybody. :aok
:salute

We had three very cool fights spread over the night. <S> to all the opponents.
On that first contact with the B-25s, we were going to go for the fighter cover 1st, but when I saw the bombers lower than us with no fighters around we went in for a few passes, untill the P-39s showed up then we broke to engage them.

Been a long time since we lost that many a/c in a frame. Well fought. :salute

:rofl :rofl :rofl I didn't realize TheBug was CIC. It's tough to give your squadron the premium rides when your writing the orders <<S>> TheBug

Yeah about that, do you guys have me muted or something, I was screaming, crying, for help.
I jest :D - I saw 2 brews chasing someone and went in to clear, went to check my 6 and there was swarm of angry brews behind me.

Had a great fight with a P-40 over A14, after the slugfest on the deck with the P-40s. Don't know who it was but :salute. Three more P-40s arrived to help out and I decided to live another day. :D
The P-40s we fought were very well flown. :salute

Me and the 82nd flew the Stukas... Popped a few hangars, and did some quick dogfighting. There was some good action fighting those I16s. Those little I16s sure can put up a good fight when working in numbers.

You know, lots of times getting killed in FSO involves simply poor circumstances--wrong place, wrong time kind of thing. Not last night though. Last night in a running fight as you guys were moving off the target, Cpt A laid one more awesome move on me 1v1 and sawed my wing off with a quick burst of caliber .50... Nice flying!

I think that was me, cpta musta damaged you already. I was the last P40 out and a lone 109 was gaining, so I did a low level split-S (nosed up, rolled inverted pulled around), as I came around I was 45 degrees nose down and it looked like you were going under me, gave the 50's a quick squirt and pulled up, looked back to see you auger into the deck.
I was so annoyed, I thought I had fraps running but didn't.

Again that was me (I think), man I was a popular dance date....
I had made a pass on someone, looked back, saw a 109F 400 off my 6, rolled down into the deck, went into some hard rolling scissors, that wasn't working so I dropped a notch of flaps and pulled hard, a 2nd 109 joined in that I didn't see and got some hits on me (my wings looked like swiss cheese) but filth and the guys came in just in time. Filth nailed the other guy and you took off. I do have that on fraps and will throw it onto youtube later :)

I don't think this was me, from your film it looks earlier in the fight?
I came back over the field late in the fight. I think Stoney was the only other LW left? He was damaged but made an attack on a group away from the field. I pulled up to a lone P-40 about 5-6k over the field, and we started looping and zooming back up. Made several loops like this and I was finally gaining angles, and got a couple mg rounds in him. As we came down the last time I thought I had him, but 3 P-40's came in from 12 o low. I ducked under them and kept going. I wish I could run film, but my ancient machine is taxed already.
Great fun and great flying all around. :salute
If you figure out who it was let me know. Thanks for posting the film, it was fun to watch from your side. I was in a 109F.

Your pursuer was out of canon, and a terrible shot. :lol In the end I ran out of bbs and couldn't disengage. Stoney tried to cover me but all it did was burn his E and leave him vulnerable. :uhoh
Nice evasives. :salute

My demise short of the target..

Mutsta been someone else then - I was looping doing loads of vertical until the fraps film above. Sounds like it was stoney and easyscor on me in that fight :)

That woulda been me Frodo. I was tailing you and you were dragging me out slowly taking advantage of your climb finnally you went hard vert and I thought you didnt have enough power went for the shot realized it wasn't happening for me flopped and ran to big daddy filth who is our p40 ace ^.^
[Oh and mad props to cptA and Vulcan for apparently being able to take roughly the same punishment as a bomber with their fighters :rock]

Well salute to a fun fight! When I went vert as hard as I could I thought I was ok. But you landed a few rounds and I was worried about my e state. Was very glad to see you roll over! Nice flying. :salute
Thought about staying in the fight when flith and friends came in, but I would not have lasted long. :D
Thanks for the reply.

Was very busy for a while, and I saw some great flying on both sides. I cam imagine there were some fights very similar to this on the Eastern Front. This is what makes it fun for me.
I swear the P-40's seemed like they were flying with 10% fuel. ;)

I had about 50 percent of my fuel in my p40 from all kinds of fuel managing flying my squad does flying with lower rpms and stuff ^.^ we make good time and are about 33 percent more fuel effecient. I prefer to fly nice and heavy as I tend to fight with my energy as opposed to relying on my planes ability to simply muster more energy for me to blow all willy nilly like a spit or 109.
