Well, I think you may beed a ride with me. In fact I’m collecting films of it. Several planes are able to catch up to me. I have films of up to 4-6 catching up in my 6 and landing rounds. LAs, Spit16s, 51s, F4Us, and Typhs will do it and fairly regularly. Now if I dive in from alt snd doing 450-500, good luck. As far as making 2-4 turns then extending and walking away, not likely. From a 109, ya maybe.
Now if someone just flys it in a straight line, then sure, you’re probably right. Thats not how I roll, but whateva.
190D has serious oil leak time. It was either last week or the week before you and I got tangled pretty high up in the air. I meant to post about this in here after, but didn’t get a chance because I’m assuming you were screaming into the microphone the same as I was lol
It was me and I think one other rook and then either two or three of your side one was a P51D. You were in a 190D and I can’t remember if I was also in one or the Ta152. I think it was the Ta. You probably can check a film. After a couple of merges, I landed a hit that opened a leak to your oil and we sort of broke apart after that. I remember the other countrymen in range asking me if I needed to worry about the 190 and I said no I got its oil. It should be done soon.
As we were both extending, I saw the the 51 trying to duck away on the deck and since you and I had enough distance and the oil had now been leaking for a minute or so, I figured I had plenty of time to dive down and mop up the 51 and move on to the airfield about half a sector away for whatever ever else might be up. But of course, as as my usual, I overshot the 51 putting whatever plane I was in to the edge of compression and as I was climbing up to come back around, I saw you coming back again from a didtance. I only saw you because of the leaking oil.
I was asked again on range if we needed to worry about the 190 and I was like no that thing’s been leaking forever. It shouldn’t be up much longer. I climbed up about 10,000 feet I think and you didn’t stop coming. You caught up to me lickety-split and I think we had one more merge possibly two at that point I just said well forget it. This thing’s gonna run out of juice soon. Let’s see it try and catch me.
Narrater: The 190D did not in fact run out of juice.
So I extended figuring there’s no way you’re gonna be able to keep up with a busted engine but you kept coming and I remember saying on range again when is this Fn thing gonna run out of oil!!!
You slowly were able to get close to me but never closer than 600 yards. You started taking shots at around 800 and up at 600 but you must’ve ran out of pew pews or you wanted to get home because you decided to turn around and head back to the base. It was maybe a quarter of a sector away.
I feel like at this point it had been almost 10 minutes or more since I hit your oil and now I just had to see if you could make it home so I turned around to follow. I can’t remember if I caught up to you or not or you crashed on the landing or something, but you still made it pretty close to that base and I’m guessing that plane still has some oil in it some freakin where!
I may not be remembering the ending exactly as it happened. It was at least a couple weeks ago, but it was fun to say the least and definitely worth a revisit if you filmed it. Too bad you can’t hear what I was saying about your oil!
