This is a film I took last night. I went up for a single sortie then logged off afterwards... its just that it was an incredible sortie.
The thing that made the sortie best was the text buffer. Pay attention to it.
<S> to my squadies
<S> to those LW dweebs StSanta and Asts
Was a blast:

Umm.. yeah... there's plenty of UBBs out there big guy. I don't hang out at this one for the ambiance.

Oh yeah, I remember that one. You just kept on killing and I thought "wut, he AIN'T in a dweebtshjook?"
Was cool; first I snook up on the lanc you'd damaged, put 30 mm's into his wingroot:
"Kill x by AkDjv"
Then there was the stalling F4U. Just before he crashed, I put 30mm in him too
"Kill 2 by AKDjv"
I decided then that I MIGHT get a kill if I moved in on someone that was straight yer six. But man, I was afraid to blow that Spit shot (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
Glad to see that M3's can take .50's as well as it can take 13mm's; several passes and no kill there for me.
Great mission Djv <S!>
For an allied sissy peasant farmboy, that is.

Fun film, DJ. What I want to know is where do you find spits to fly on your 6 at 400+ yards that are unable to hit you? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

And don't think I didn't apreciate it Santa! Afterall, I did do everyone the favor of dragging their one and only escort down to the deck;)
Then there was the stalling F4U. Just before he crashed, I put 30mm in him too
Ah.. lag can be brutal. Either I'd already gotten a pilot kill on this one or he'd already crashed. You hit a ghost:D I'd only pinged him 2 or 3 times. One 30mm hit would have been enough to get the kill.
I decided then that I MIGHT get a kill if I moved in on someone that was straight yer six. But man, I was afraid to blow that Spit shot:D
I cannot begin to tell you how hard I was laughing the whole time I was dragging this guy. Its ludicrous to give those two hispanos a nice angle shot and they can stay behind an F6F forever.. my only hope was for help. I really thought you'd close faster;) I also couldn't believe the guy didn't even ping me as I wasn't really doing any evasives.
I'm just thankfull that this pilot was no match for your little girl LW skills;)
Note to new pilots:- If someone is flying in a straight line and you can't hit him, its a good time to spend some time "offline" shooting at drones.
- If someone is flying in a straight line for more than 10 seconds out of a furball.. you might want to check your 6.
My favorite was when I spotted the second M3. I noticed that Asts(aka RAM) was engaged low level with an F4u. I checked what plane he was in and saw "190". I knew he didn't need help;) Hell... I thought he'd need help when those two La-7's jumped him... was wrong there too;)
And Curly,
Those spits are out there. Of course, its trial and error. I seldomely post .ahf's of the pilots that don't miss;)

LOL! Had to disable smilies. Too many in this post:D

Hehe nice film, Dejavu. And nice streak <S>.
BTW that F4U was being a damned pain in the prettythang...was a very long fight going down from 18K to Sea level, whatever I did I found that the Chog was a little step further than me...finally I managed to get a shot at him when he levelled and dived.. turned out that he was on fumes and very very light (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
The La7 thing was nothing of the other world. The tipical forced overshoot scenario where the bad guy shots a 5 second burst on a skidding plane just to miss it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif). He missed and I got a burst on him on one of them as he extended. Then I had to rtb fast due Real Life (parents calling me for help for a little task) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Again, congrats on the streak (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) <S>
