Well, <S!> to Staga first of all !
We were pretty lonely over 58 yesterday evening (GMT) and I was flying a Heavy F4U 1C (2x 1Klbers). I was there with Rocket if I remember well and we were ready to rollin on a happless Panzer when a lone P51 appeared from the North...I quicly released both my eggs on the Tank and as I had a lot of smash, quicly climbed again to come towards the Pony that was turning on us.
Rocket got in a fight with it , but they didn't touch each other & when I arived on scene, the pony ran away (Smart guy). Rocket went back to finish off the Field while I kept an eye on the Pony who after 3/4 minutes came back to plunge on Rocket....
The rest is a little blurry, but I remember chasing that pony and Hitting him at least 5/6 times with snapshots at aproximately 800yds (I saw the hits count).
Yet, Satga made it safely home , with me shadowing him, barely out of range and he landed his bird safely...
We had a chat later on, and he told me that both his ailerons & elevators were shot, but his engine was fine.... <S!> for managing to land that !
I am no regular at flying the F4U, I only use them to do JABO missions, but so long for the 1 ping death with that bird (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
NB, Staga won this one, since I was out of fuel, and I had to ditch in enemy territory & I was captured (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
