Just finished reviewing the film:
7 Knights in the area when the engagement started, 5 rooks. Three of the Rooks had alt advantage on everyone. I knight was heading away from the fight and never turned to engage.
By the time I took your wing off, the situation was 9 Knights and 7 rooks in the area. There were never more than 4 knights close enough that I could see to engage you and Mane. Only three Knights ever had a shot on you two (Jasta, Buba and myself).
By studying the film you and Mane turned into a worse situation than if you had kept going straight or turned to the left. You flew towards more incoming Knights rather than away from the threat. Regardless, your flying was great and had Jasta not done in Mane, he was set to hit me. As it was, he did get him and I was able to come over and shoot you. No one else hit you or Mane aside from me and Jasta.
Point is this: earlier in the day I was outnumber 7 to one at A5 on the deck. I had no friendly air support, no wingie, no flack or ACK to help. I fought as long and as hard as I could, but eventually they got me. My first though, as frustrated as I was, was not to curse the other person and bad mouth them and go into a state of denial and shock that someone could actually shoot me down. No, the first thing I did was take a breath, then I looked around the field to decide what my next action would be. You did well, but we did better this time. The was genuine. It may have been only 30 seconds, but it was a tough 30 for me because I knew if I did not get you that you would get me. I think Jasta knew the same thing.
Anyway, the film tells me all I need to know. I'd share it with you, but what do you care...after all, we are just gang-banging horde monkeys and no threat to your imperial greatness anyway.
By the way: I shot you down. Not bad for someone that can't fight their way out of a paper bag.
Cheers
