Two 50 cals aren't gonna stop these guys.  Time for Plan B.

Hanging on the prop and can't even see the Lancs at this point.

Got all the rockets out just before stalling.

The very last rocket about to hit paydirt.  :x

Talk about maximizing your hit percentage.   :banana:

Ty, but it was 99% luck.  He actually rode the lead bomber down.  Probably was in the bombsite and couldn't figure out what happened.  Ended up getting a proxy on the 3rd one.  :lol

Awesome, love the TBM.  Best torpedoer/scissorer in the game.

Had a 262 try to HO me and fired a few rockets at him.  He broke hard and ran.  Haven't flown the TBM lately (the pics are from last year), but always kept a few rockets to spook fighters.  Came very close a few times in rear quarter deflection shots and killed a running Jug with rocket splash damage.  And mind what Shiv said.  The TBM is very maneuverable flaps out.  I really have won dog fights in it.  Imagine if the next TBM you pounce on has Shiv in it.  :noid

That's awesome. I still have film of killing 2 Ki67s in an F8 with the rockets. Always a challenge to do something like that. :)

I've had some pretty awesome fights while in the TBM. Best fight I had was actually OTD vs Hurricane.  I wanted to stick it out until one of us died in a blaze of glory or gore (most likely me since he had those 20s) but couple of my friendlies came over and jumped in before I had chance to say anything.
