our squad was defending this week. it was a blast.......
28k alt, and those tiny black dots ain't me friends...i managed to avoid being spotted by them, as i had gotten seperated from all but one in my squad....and neither of us thought it smart to take that mob on!

the fighting stayed in pretty close....the 109's that had originally been flying high cover came down to play.....

it was a fun frame!

Heh, looks like you saw more action than I did.
Although I will share one screenshot. It and some more will be posted in the everyday screenshots thread in the film/screenshots forum if anybody wants to check them out.
I had a hard time finding some good screenshots this time. Most of it was rather boring and chasing a stick-stirrer 2 sectors to his own ack and then trying for an hour (and failing) to get back into the fight after a quick hotpad. However, there were a few brief moments early on that I have tried my best to dramatize with creative framing to make them look more exciting than they probably were. Enjoy!
:cheers:

I saw to much action, out number.

i guess possibly i should've put this over there........
it's hard as hell to try to avoid that which one is used to simply jumping into, such as when i used to fly midwar. i am having a blast in the fso's though.
also note, that on the one with the 109 just to the right of the gunsight, i left the icon showing. it showed D200, but according to the film, it was D145. i like this sight, due to the fact that those rings are actually calibrated......when the outer's full(as it would be in this pic) i know i'm about 150 to 200 from him.

I took radiator damage, managed to glide back to a friendly airfield but just couldn't put her down. Overshot the runway and treed myself.
