Couple of nights ago, my squadies and I were doing some base defense when no less than a dozen C47 came in and dropped troops on our town which was completely down. Well, some of my fellow country men were more interested in killing goons (after they had released their troops) rather than killing troops thus trying to save our base.
Anyway, our base was captured the greenies ran and my squadies and I started taking down town ack. Well, pretty soon we were in a sky full of red icons. After a little while there were only two of us left in spitties trying to find a hole to run for our lives. Only problem is he and I had an LA each on our tails and more bad guys coming. We were turning hi/low circles to get around but found that we were running out of time fast because the horde was coming fast. So, we did the only thing we could think of which was to trade LA LAs. We initiated horizontal figure 8s running right for each other at the middle. On that run, we HO'd (that's right, I said it) the LAs. Well, on the second pass, he killed my LA and I killed his. Just in time too because the horde was about 1k away. After that, we Wep'd up and ran like heck for home. Laughed my butt off all the way too. :x
So my question is, in WW2, does anyone know of a fight where real pilots utilized this tactic to clear each other's tail when they were both in trouble?
Thanks!

That and a simular move the weave.

Thatch weave (http://www.dogsofwar.org/thatch_weav.htm)
wrongway

Wrongway beat me to it.
In other news, you just admitted to TnB'ing (probably) spixteens, ho'ing, then running. If your adversaries weren't LA's, this could be considered poor form. :lol
Just pulling your chain. Those tight fights that you barely get away from are the most fun. :aok

Yep was about to say the Thatch Weave; pretty nifty little move when worked the right way with two team mates.
-
thatch weave is very effective in game
-
I bet 200 was excellent after that.
-
Thach Weave is the best pair formation for search and fight.

I am no expert but you two being low and slow turn fighting I would have tried to stay above you and BnZ insuring I kept my speed and worked on picking my time and shot. It does not pay to get down in the mud and play with the pigs. You get dirty and they love it.

my thoughts exactly I got me a couple of fiters that got 2 of my friendlies that way. funny thing is that I did the 8 figure but at a faster speed all by myself and both died :).

Do either of you have time to do some training. I'm trying to learn to survive and get a kill or two.
