Right in the pie chart, eh? Been seeing a lot of B17s lately, but not any I seem to be catching up to just a little too easily...

Lucky you! Actually being able to catch bombers in this game!  :t

But, seriously, wouldn't that be the real treat? I always loved running across tater and trip9. Sometimes they got me, sometimes they didn't. Either way it was always excellent sport.

That is pretty funny. On a tangent now, how the heck does 999000 do it? Jedi crap or something.

It's all he does. He simply does it through practice, practice, practice!

Same as deflection shooting on a 109K with the 30mm... Some guy who doesn't do it much must ask "How does he do that?" Whereas the answer is: You just do it A LOT!

You probably could do the same after flying bombers for about 4300 hours with at least 26,000 missions and 33,440 kills.  ;)

He's excellent practice to fly against, because if you give him anything resembling a decent shot, he'll shred you.  However, I find if I set up correctly and have the patience to do my attacks properly, he's survivable, though I rarely come away without major damage.  Most of the time after a run on 999000, I wind up dead sticking back to base.

That kind of practice I don't need. The problem is that he's easy to catch, and not usually too high, just like tatertot So you're thinking maybe you can get all 3, then you dive in on the first and come out the other side in pieces.

Post by: Krusty on November 23, 2011, 10:08:53 AM
Nah, he's not a laser AAA platform. He's good, yes. I've taken out his full formations many a time. I've got pieces of him and tater (flying together) and made it out alive. I'm not timid and I don't shadow them 300 miles waiting for an attack. I just go in at a respectable angle and reposition. Don't be foolish with your attack.

He's definitely a tougher foe than the random "I have tail guns?" bomber guy, but still not undefeatable :)

Yeah, that's what I meant by 'patient'.  Most of the time when I speak of 'patience' the time is often measured in blocks of a minute or two, just taking that extra little bit of time to reset my plane correctly before making my second run...

He's a lot of fun though.

I shredded a couple of his bombers in my 110 the other.  I was so proud of myself.

So official record is now

999000 100+ kills SWneo 2 kills

From "Battle Over Germany" scenario.

Hmm.  I'll try for Tail-End Charlie.  He probably is one of the less-experienced guys.

No -- it's 999000.  He's hanging back a bit to attact more attackers.

So you had been that annoying Spit 8 over A40?  :lol
I remember this well, as it was apparent that this Spit was not just looking for a kill (like most fighters do), but actually had a mission.  :salute

Caution Snailman !  You know he's trying to lull you into a trap.

Don't fall for it man.

Many have died because of this kind of disinformation.

Wiley.

there ya go. Rule # 1 when going against 999. If you DONT want to run into him. Only hunt buffs that are above 7K
Rule #2 If you absolutely must do something so foolish NEVER come in on anything even resembling a 6:00 shot.
Rule #3 If you do decide to take your chances. Always come in from the front quarters and do so VERY fast. Preferably exiting back toward the front quarters

Rule#4. Avoid him altogether unless you have to.

I think you are right. A little bit of creative thinking, a little tad suspension of disbelief - and we can see that I totally and utterly owned you there:
