Post here your best. I will start. Lets hear about your cool missions!
In my best sortie I was my m8 vs. 1 M16 1 Ostwind and 2 Tanks. I went charging in at 60 MPH disabled the M16 first (driving from turret) then shifted to Ostind (took 3 shots) took out his gun then still hauling bellybutton went between the 2 tanks they were covering. I pickeed closest one took out his main gun circled gentle (fast) left - second tank could not bring his gun to bear took him out 2 shots, then as I completed my turn dispatched first tank (he took 5 more hits!) and headed rtb.
edit to add: ON that best sortie the best part was when all 4 of them reupped at spawn point ans started trying to hit my rtb M8. Shells were exploding everywhere they were pissed, but they didnt get me. This was the best part.

crap i know you guys got good ones - give em up!

That actually happened today
i upped at A22 to defend it and shot down a nikki and LA7 when i happened uppon 3 lancs...i shot them down and the score message went up until 302 kills of the same guy was wierd

Wadke,
I just checked your stats and it seems you found a bug.
You do indeed have lots of kills in the Spitfire Mk V, 303 to be precise. However, 298 of those kills are of gunners.
It seems that if the bomber has a gunner and he tries to bail it gives a free kill to the attacker, much like the old pilot trying to bail gave a kill bug in 1.10.0.

thanks Karnak
i wondered if it was a bug or not b/c there is no way i could get that many kills
thanks sir
the only way it made sense was it gave me 3.75 perks which is fine with me

OK..... so I am pondering my next move when I see a call for troops to A19. Seeing one of our Task Groups is just offshore, I jump into an LVT and head for the town. Hmmm looks longer than I thought, but I decide to keep on going at least for now.... keep checking the map - then realise I am actually heading towards P21, south of A19! :o
Oh well, too late to turn around now, and it looked like there was plenty of friendly activity at A19 anyway. If they get that, they will want P21 next, so I'll just keep on going - maybe I'll get lucky and sneak in.... still, it is an awfully long way for a little LVT!
A few minutes pass and I see "A19 captured by Bishops" come up in the text buffer - "WTG 19" I respond, and continue on my way, more determined than ever. "Troops needed at P21" soon followed, and I let my fellow countrymen know I was on the way in an LVT.... meanwhile, a few minutes later, I see a goon drop troops.... unfortunately there are numerous GVs up at P21, and they soon take care of them.
"VH at P21 is up" I type on the country channel, hoping someone will destroy it and kill the vehicles still swarming around..... then I see the PT boat, about 1.5 K away! I don't want to open fire as it might attract the attention of enemy fighters in the area, so I slightly change my course to avoid it instead, watching it all the time.... if I can see him, then surely he can see me?
I held off as long as I dared, but then noticed it was closing fast.... it's no good, I can't risk being shot down now after coming all this way - so I opened fire! After a few bursts, the PT boat exploded in a ball of fire and I saw I had just killed Tahgut(?).... :)
Sure enough, he came on channel one - and asked what I was in when I killed him? WHAT!!!, he hadn't seen my LVT after all??? "Ah that would be telling!" I said as I continued to near the town of P21..... no sense in letting him know I was in an LVT with troops heading for his Port's town if he didn't know already! :D
Of course, by then I had attracted the attention of the enemy fighters and spent the next few minutes fending several of them off, by now with the assistance of my fellow Bishops who were doing their utmost to ensure I reached to town unharmed.
Shortly before I reached the town, Kill #2 flashed across my screen - a delayed kill on one of the fighters that had attacked me earlier! Great, now I will just have to make sure I park on one of the footpaths in the town and I can land the kills too...... :)
By now the town is looming in my front view, and I shift the gears down to start slowing down, and hopefully avoid any debris lying about - would be a shame to crash into a piece of buiding after coming all this way! I had already set my salvo to 10 and opened the door, and as the maproom came into view, I pushed them all out and watched as they ran towards it.... meanwhile I found a stretch of pathway to pull up on and came to a halt. "Maproom destroyed"!!! Yes, I had done it!
Goodness knows how long it had taken to get there - must have been about half-an-hour at least, I think, but to finally make it against all the odds gave me a great feeling of satisfaction - thanks to all the Bishops in the area who fought off the fighters and ground vehicles, as I'm sure I would not have been successful if it hadn't been for you! The capture and landing of two kills resulted in 15.83 perkies to add to my total in readiness for future perked vehicles.... :D Just wish I had filmed it! :cool:

wadke you Found a huge bug ....... Hell 93.3 kills in an hour .... you would have to line a Whole county up on one runway and carpet bomb them to even get close to that ......LOL
Think ill go buff hunting :)

Flossy Rulz!

I haven't had much time to fly this latest tour, but my first brief mission was quite memorable:
I entered AH in the tower at A22 on the west coast of Mindanao, looking towards the mountains to the east and within seconds a volley of naval gunfire came right over me and landed a few hundred yards inland.
Hitting f8, I turned and "ran" to the other side of the tower. Not more than a couple of miles/3 km offshore was an enemy carrier battle group, heading north. Silhouetted against the bright western sky, it looked enourmous so close to shore.
I immediately checked to see if the coastal defense guns were available. The south one was occupied, but the north one was intact and unmanned. I jumped to the gun emplacement, and...
...There is the task group steaming into my lower left field of fire!
My first shot at the carrier (CV), at maximum depression of the gun (I'm on a hill), was just 30-40 yds long...he was too close, but moving right into position. My third shot hit the CV's stern, but he continued. A moment later I hit him again, and he began to make a u-turn away from me. As this huge target turned hard infront of me, I kept dropping shells on either side, missing by just a few dozen yards. But as soon as he completed his turn and straigtened out, I hit him a third time and he just disappeared and I got a ship destroyed message.
A pretty exciting way to start the tour!
But please explain this:

had didja not think it was a bug?
you obvisously didnt shoot down all them planes. :)
Even if 1 hispano = 1 kill theres no way you could have scored kills like that.
The reason you only got 3 perks was because you only get perks by shooting down planes not proxy kills.
was that this tour? I know there was a problem with buff kills when 1.1 was 1st released.
Please post the circuimstances on the bug forum.

I had taken off from A7 on the island map headed for a12, no plan just looking for a fair fight.
I took off in a Ki-61 with 50% and drop tanks and chugged over as you do in a KI-61, and arived at around 16k.
Now with the new radar you cant see the nme dots on the map so I upped my SA and started looking, then down below I saw another Ki-61 and a friendly plane, so I jettison my tanks and dive down on him.
Now the nme Ki-61 was diveing in on my countryman but was quite far away, so because I was consentrating I didn't give a check six, thinking I'd surprise him and get the kill while he was fixed on his target,
I saddled up behind him and let rip and missed oops, he's now getting really close to my countryman and I start to panic as hes now opened up on my teammate and I haven't killed him yet (I was sucking bad) Teammate breaks and I continue the chase and take out his engine so I break of as I'm now bingo ammo!
the nme tries to chase but i'm not to worried as I'm pulling away but he's spraying away, and then my teammate finishes him and I have kill #1
I still have plenty of fuel so I return to A7 to rearm, thinking about how I sucked on that sortie, almost costing the life of my teammate.
So I takeoff again and head back to a12 this time with a friend in a SpitIX (he keeps asking me why I'm going so slow, Duh!)
we climb upto around 18k and head for the base, the plan - look for easy targets,
When we get close we see Klem and Gremlin below us engaged with an nme, but we see so upping from the base so we stay high.
But with Klem and gremlin lower they soon draw attention so we go down to help, and all end up at sea level with us four and, 3 niki's acouple og la-7's, spit IX's and a 109, so I resighn myself to the fact that I wont be going home as my planes to slow :(
But....
Somhow I clear the 109 of the six of someone, get a couple of nikis and whist engaged with a spit IX (behind me) I get slow and end up with flaps down etc, super slow turn stuff and the spit augers, so I get the Proxy kill,
Whooo Hoo I know have an Ace run and I'm all outta cannon shells so I rtb, unfortunatley I hear my friend shouting for assistance as he has an la-7 on his six followed by silence.......
I'm now flying NOE as I dont want to show up on radar, but the LA-7 that got my friend spots me and starts to chase and I'm not even halfway home, the adrenalin is pumping and I what the distance count down, 3.6 3.5 3.4 3.0
I'm looking at my 200 mg round thinking mmm, oh well, then I see two dots up ahead its Magez (in Abomber formation and Gremlin flying cover. but their the same distance ahead as the la-7 is behind, it's going to be close...
I ask for help and Gremlin - (give him a medal) tells magez he'll be back and comes to my assistance, the la-7 is about 1k behind me when he gets to him and he breaks off me.
Phewwww.. :)
All I had to do was land which I did and I had my first Ace in a ki-61 :D
It may have been more by luck than skill, but it was exciting :D
and I got a shed load of perks :D
-
yes that happened this tour lol...

wow i can imagine you surprise as 3 min of kill messages ran by :)

We were flying in defense of A10 on the islands map. and we had lost our CV, A10 was inoperable, So I launched a trio of 88's towards thier CV.
I was coming in as low as the AI can go 150 i believe and lined up for the torp run...torps away!
Down went the enemy CV all hands lost ;)
I turned away when a Dhog tried to fly up my 6. He took two bombers with him before I sent him face first into the water.
On 1 engine and no rudder, missing a good portion of wing. I RTB successfully with 2 kills and a CV under my belt.
It might not seem very cool, but it was the first time I sank a CV with torps.

Cool stories! Keep em coming :)

Was flying in 262 killing NOE 110 mission, small one for a vbase. Was driving around looking for a goon, and decided to rtb with 5 kills. Well, Otw home, i come to a 262 that had at least 5k on mine. I raced for home praying i would not have to engage this high 262. Well.. I look on dar and i see a dot hoppin sectors at a time.. So at this point.. i knew i would have to fight. I went into vert climb and dove under him as he attacked. He dove down on me, I rolled, pulled up and got onto his 6.. but slow...
Well.. By this time the moron decided to go into very and I gained rapidly and didn't shoot even at d200 cause i had only 20 rounds of 30mm. I was starting to overshoot so I slammed my rudder right and cut throttle, then after all this excitment, he rips his wings going into the vert, I hit his half/262 otw down, got credit. Lazer has landed 6 victories in 262. Was fun sortie =):eek: :cool:

Everyone! I have lost 4 262's in 3 days but anyways...on to the story...the mission ended up being Hazed, Hizakate, and BlueiceJ for a little P40 mission to bishrook land. It started out with a 190 and a spit. I engadged the 190 and hit him about 8 times in the center of the plane no damage, Hazed shoots his wing off...I get the kill. We all engage the spit...Hizakite stalls and I see kill #2 OK sweet, and than boom boom boom...Hizakite stalls in ground...Hazed stalls in ground Spit stalls into ground...kill #3...SWEET!! Now where are my wingman? Oh damn they stalled! hehe...so next mission Hazed makes it.............P40 mission, I am trailing WAY behind because I was chatting on AIM, but what happens is we get to the field about 94 spits and la7s and hurris show up...everyone dies off in a matter of 5 minutes...i am the last one left, I make a Spit stall into the ground but I get assist? OK...so than I go back to tower after dying and Hazed is like damn blueicej was the last one left lol. Next mission, 190A5's...cons everywhere! I get outta there with 3 kills and me and Hazed are left and figures with my luck a 262 & 2 la7s gang up on me. That was my wacked out day Hazed and Hizakite for today's fun.

Flossy:"he hadn't seen my LVT after all???"
Don't know if it's this way for all, but LTVs seldom show an icon until you're right next to em. Normal enemy gv icon range of 1.5k doesn't seem to apply to the LTV:confused:

No specific sortie, just the kind of sortie that gets the juices flowing :)
Any good 1 on 1, had a great one with Wespe last tour, him in a G10 with me in a 1D. Great fight. Had another with a 109 this tour and can't remember his name. Great fight, went on a quite a few minutes until a countryman jumped in and "saved" me.
Any sortie where you get in too deep, there are planes everywhere and there all red, your hair catches on fire and you wear out your hat switch acting and reacting to whats going on around you taking your shots as they present themselves. Get headed in the right direction and make it out of the fire, on the deck, pedal to the metal.....alive WHOOOHAA :D
