Title: what a night.
Post by: Schen on July 10, 2013, 07:21:27 AM
well not as some might think, I didn't score a billion in a bomber, or go on a killing streak, I had a corner of the map 1v1 session with dags, and ill tell you, it was hair raising heart pumping fun, we were passing by each others planes so close you could see the others eyes, trading shots back and forth, the advantage would even shift back and forth. What added to the experience was PM'ing back and forth after an engagement and talking about what we did and what we saw, made the fights progress in toughness to the point it was 5-7min stalemates with  rolling scissors that I didn't think anyone would come out on top. <S> to dags for a great experience in AH.

That's worth more than any billion streaks etc.  That's what you sit in front of a computer and pay 15$ for..  That and friends you will/ought to make if you keep coming back for more, is what'll keep you hooked for years.  Some of us have been at it for... what, 2 decades now?  Whether you get it one way or another - 1v1 or playing the strat chess game, etc.

That little need for your stick & rudder fix may stay with you the rest of your life.

Dags is a great guy and one hell of a fun fight. Next time, you two should get on coms together and talk while fighting. It's a real plus.

Invite people to duel you over 200. Once in a while you'll get a taker and it's always fun, regardless of skill difference. I've taught and have been taught, it's a shame that I usually never get an answer when I ask.

Dags is a top notch guy and until recently he flew with a mouse. Apparently he likes his new toy :) I am thrilled to have him as a squaddie.

I don't think dags reads the Bbs, so I'll relay the <S> when I see him in game.  :salute

Last night I had one of the best fights i've had in a long time. I was in a 47/D11 and ArchieD was in a Yak and somebody else ina F4U with Archie. I held them off as long I could, twisting and turning in a close fast knife fight. Finally Archie got me. Had another great fight after that with a guy named Bluecoat. If flying P47/D11s produces fights like that on a regular basis, I'll be in one more often.  :aok

JUGS always attract attention with the aggressor thinking it's an easy kill.  The 11 and the M are the only ones I fly in fighter mode, the M for bomber intercept and the 11 for furballing.  Yes I always go down because I never extend or retreat, but the fights are intense and very fun.

I haven't flown the 11 bunches...don't really like the cockpit views, but it's starting to grow on me. I think it handles real well with most other planes in close quarters. And with 8 .50 cals all you really need is 1 clear shot and the bad guy is toast.

I had a heart pounder Yak vs Mustang last night. Had a few other fighters not gotten involved it would have been epic. Still it was great fun, with my aileron shot out by an HO'ing LA the pony pilot didnt even know I was one more right turn from losing.

I remember a few nights ago i was in a 47 razor back and i spot a CO alt 51 (turned out to be a delta) and man we had ourselfs a amazing fight. Full flaps stall fight at 15k then down to 10k where he started doing high speed reversals and i was doing tail slides then down to 5k and i got some hits on him then he got some on me and we fought all the way down to around 2k when i press the trigger and nothing happened. So me being helpless he comes in dead six and......he didn't shoot my only guess was that he too was infact out of ammo. I never found out who this person was but that was a fun fight

one of most favorite fights with during winter sky death ground p47d11 404th fg flying protection for some b26s. was about 20k+ with just 8 of us we flew into an attack of 2 squads of 109k4s and a squad of 190a8s. ended up fighting with then for about 15 20 mins ended up losing 3 jugs and had 3 more heavley damaged and we ended up droppin 3 to 5 109s and 3 190s was some of the best fighting around. next event was us attackin their airdrome with 14 of us this time and this time we had the drop on em 4 of em went down very quickly and after that ppoint I got separated with a 109 and 190 fighting from 17k down to the deack with me nailing the 190 an takin the 109s wing off thought I was in the clear to have a 109 give me a pw only to use all of his ammo and chase me 20 miles till he could try and ram my tail off only for him too loose his wing.
