this is the file, and u will note that i was not ranting and raving and whining in fact the first time i said anything was 3 minutes 40 seconds into the fight, and then i tried to tell him he needs to slow down to hit me, that was simple advice, and I did not kill him on a lucky snapshot either as he clamed. u can see the mistake he made that allowed me to catch him. and as i said once i got on his six he didnt know what to do. that is what i was trying to help him with

After watching that film my opinion has been massively reinforced that the Shrimp should never have brought this to the BBS. Man... many of my attack are as boring and uneffective like his, but I usually keep my mouth shut about it, especially when being shot down

well don't beat the ole boy up to hard about it, it was just upset and we have all been there befor, and alot of times people post their storys on here trying to get someone to agree with them so they feel better about the beating they took.

I just dont think he has ever really been to the DA and has probly spent all his flying time in BnZ mode. I did save him the honor of not posting the second film where where I let him co alt merge on my six at 600 out to start the fight. I just didnt record that one.

My advice is dont beat him up about it in the MA, knowone should have to log onto the game and get ridiculed when there just trying to have fun, but some of u good sticks on the rook side should offer services to him, all he needs is to learn and i bet he would be a ace pilot.

Nah, was never my intention to beat him up about it. I couldn't afford it, because I really don't fly better at times. I often look at my films and see to my dismay that I'm zooming up waaaaay to high after a (uncusessful) bounce...just ike he did.

Actually if you check the stats, Spit8 does quite well and can stay with a Tempest above 18k and thats what happen, he figured on climbing out to get me to lose E and I maintained it the entire climb. Secondly: Tempests are NOT 262s and wont "run" From a spitfire so lets not get to far ahead of yourself.
His mistake and Your's would eventually be he was above the alt a tempest is good for, Spitfires get more dangerous higher alt, tempest doesn't do so well.

Trust me, I can run from a spit8 easily in under 5 minutes whenver in a tempest, that's the whole point of it... I easily run up 100  non vulch kills for 1 actual a2a death in a tempest.

It's not a 262 but if you're saying a tempest won't run from a spitfire you're absolutely clueless, sorry but I call it as I see it..
It's the fastest prop fighter plane in the game.

Please check your facts and get some experience actually flying a tempest before making statements like that.

I doubt you were sitting at 18k with him and him just letting u get closer and closer, all he had to do was dive and so long spit8. I personally don't even remember the last time I climbed to 18k in a tempest.

I guess it all depends on how the tempest was doing his running, if he was climbing the spit could probly hang with him, the tempest true power lies within its DIVE.

but i wasnt there, all i know is there is only 2 people im afraid of im a tempest, the rest of them cant seem to hit squat and spend most there time running;)

Flying level, diving.. tempest will get away from a spit8 in no time... Removing your brain and roping yourself for a spitfire doesn't mean a tempest won't outrun a spit8 WITH EASE. I have never been caught by a spit8, cause I have at least half a brain. At worst I've had an la7 follow me for 5 minutes while slowly pulling away.
There's no secret or mystery to flying a tempest. It's faster than anything without jet engines or rocketfuel. you're coming at people with 4x hispanos. Take two even skilled pilots and a spit8 wont be running a temp down.

If this guy thinks he's gonna be running down tempests in a spit8 all day long he's gotta be kidding himself.

Of course, if the guy flying it likes sticking the throttle halfway and nosing it straight up you might catch him flying a stuka... With pilot error anything is possible,  Zero's will catch 262's.. doesnt take away from the fact that a temp can easily run away from a spit8 if he chooses to unless hes an idiot, flying it at 180mph on the deck. just the way you're not supposed to fly one.

If I'm taking a pass in a tempest I'm hitting.. 4x hispanos, it's not like it's hard to find a sortie ending shot.

Well said but I think the point maybe lost on the intended.

While Tempest's do suffer somwhat compared to many other planes when getting higher, your statements are not correct. They still can easily run from a Spitfire 8 if desired:





RUMBLEBee was quite correct when saying: if you stay on a tempests 6 for 15 minutes flying a spit8 that's just down to the person in the tempest being stupid. What was he doing, flying at half rpm?...:

Very well done Sir.  
Hell, even my 2 yo now knows that a temp will outpace a spit.

the beauty of this game for me is flying like such an idiot in things like tempests that the enemy is laughing at my stupidity only a few seconds before they hit the tower wondering what happened.

 your true statement here is what makes that tomfoolery possible, i thanks you and every other 'smart' flyer for making people expect the exact opposite of what i am planning

PS: i do like to fly smart too sometimes when ive been drinking.
