Title: 1.10 catfight pictures
Post by: Steven on July 04, 2002, 12:59:08 PM

This dog found himself involved in a catfight.  Some F6F Hellcat thought he'd get an easy lunch out of my F4F Wildcat.  I thought I was toast too but he overshot and I guess didn't quite have the zoom available like he thought he would.  Interestingly, it seemed as though the Wildcat's guns weren't all that powerful but then after a bit I started slicing the Hellcat apart.  I never did see any smoke come out of the Hellcat...I'd like to see this new particle smoke system.

Yes, I was low ammo and low fuel trying to head back to base as it was.  But a Wildcat can't really dictate the terms of a fight in terms of forcing it or ending it by running and that Hellcat really wanted me.  With six guns, the Wildcat leaves a lot of tracers, but I was nailing that Hellcat all the way up in the climb and at first (as I had stated) it seemed my bullets were enemic but then parts started sawing right off the Hellcat.  If I recall, he lost both wings and the whole empenage to his tail.  Since then, I've had some good luck with the Wildcat but I can't view any of my films with the patch to 1.10 so I can't take any more "ego" shots.

I don't think MGs are more powerful.  It seems to take me many hit sprites before I can take anyone down whether I fly an F4U, F6F or F4F.

The pics above may be misleading because they are just snapshots in time.  That Hellcat was taking hit-sprites galore before parts started to fall off.  But once they did, that Hellcat fell apart good.
