I know how frustrating it is to be on the short side of a 2v1 battle, flying slower planes against fast, tough planes smartly flown. I did it for two years in the WarBirds HA as part of 27 Sentai.
VF-27 is getting to be one of larger CT-only squads, and our
Tues and Thursday squad nights can cause a temporary side imbalance in the CT if it is sparsely populated. Tonight we had 9 flyers, which was roughly half the Allied total. Your brave opposition was appreciated, and any other time but squad time I'd be switching sides to even things out.

Heh heh. Was a lot of fun. Hope you ganging vulchporkers didn't take the trash talk too seriously. We thought it was nice to have all those blue planes on the run.
More important, I think most of us are happy enough to put up with a numbers disparity in the interest of luring more squads into the CT.

Well said. I didn't have the pleasure of tangling with you, but special kudos to Ghosth, who always seemed to be in the middle of the fight.
The one time I tried sharply turning my F4U-1 to get a gun solution, I went into a spin and augered. So I didn't push anything after that. Deaths count against us on squad nights.
BTW that Ki.67 with 3 or 4 of us on his tail last night- that is one fast bomber. I never did catch him.
