It's been a nightmare! Got killed by some mystery plane 2x yesterday. Then I dove on a 262 and and Augered! I left so abruptly P.O.d that my squadies thought I was ticked at them. No I was ticked at me. This had been going on for a week. Then this afternoon I up, killed 8 on my first sortie and a few more very good runs.
Much to my dismay the After hours map changes. So I head over to bishland looking for those volunteers. Chase one guy around for a bit. Change direction and get a couple of kills. Head to another base where there's a solo pilot. Pick the rascal while he's killing strats. It was a vDevil. I figure a mission cannot be far behind. So I inform everyone about the impending mission. Soon here they come. A good size horde with only me in the air. But I do have good alt. I go after a pony, A N1k1 dives in on me, then a p47. I weave, I duck, I roll. I pull out my skills! I run! I run to the ack and the uppers. The N1k1 augers to my left, A pony augers to my right. 3 kills and a load of ammo left. A typhie comes vulching down the runway, I yank and face shoot him. (HO is used way too much) Kill 4. Then immediately catch a lumbering pony kill 5. A pony blazes in on my 6. I sweep left and then back right behind him. Only miss him by 30 degrees or so. He augers. kill #6. Not sure where I got kill #7 but it may have been another pony. Who knows.
Ended up landing 28 consecutive kills with out being shot down my self. Did miss some landing gear a couple of times. Not sure how many sorties, 6 or 7.
It was a very needed great day! Heck even had a successful bombing run.
I have to add something. I had been shooting just awful. I mean really awful. I would land one kill and 7 assists awful. I was duking it out with a KI84 and for some unknown reason he tries to run from my f4u1a. Uh!? I pull within 600 yds. I was low on ammo but what the heck. I lined up and pulled a long burst. Every round hit him, flame on, and he broils nicely. That was beautiful!

I doubt it. But I tell you what is scares the heck out of me that a wingie his roping a guy and depending on me to kill him in time.

it isn't a rope if the enemy can catch him and close to shooting distance. He is merely climbing to get himself shot.
Sometimes you don't have the luxury to estimate the closure rates and if one of my guys missed a shot like that I would put them in solitary confinement for a week!! :devil

Your narrative reminded me of that old song by Stealers Wheel - "Nikis to the left of me, Ponys to the right! Here am I, stuck in the middle with you..."
What were you flying, mind if I ask? My sorties have been so dismal lately I resorted to upping in a Spit 9 at one point. People are learning to keep the fight fast when going against a P-39 so it's getting to the point of futility to use it, cool though it is.

Hmm you thought you sucked on MA untill you happened to fly into a cloud of vtargets at which point you started to rule? :bolt:

Ya that's what I got out of it too, "Clubbing baby Seal" syndrome. :D

I felt like this yesterday. It started bad and I got pissed so I upped some dweeb rides (spit16 and 262) and kills started to rack up without dying... 6 - 3 - 3 - 6 - 3 - sleep. I thought I could win the whole war by myself.
(Semi-sarcastic)
Be afraid of the contrast when you start playing again today, you can't be king forever ;)

I fly the f4u1a mostly followed by the f6. The f6 is mainly for jaboing and it is just a fun plane to fly.
Some of the folks were well known and respected pilots and not all vdevils. Still though a bunch of luck on that one particular flight.
I respect the vdevils. At least they get in there and get dirty. Though it seems they like to take a mud bath together. :rofl

too funny, i agree. i have some bad days then one morning/evening i log on and find myself racking them up. Now if i land or not idc, im enjoying having a great time flying and thats all i could ask for

Just grin and bear it. :D

Aint that the truth! Enjoy it while it lasts and then learn on the bad days.
