Hmmm....

Oh it just happened.

I was in a Hurricane 2c trying to get 2 or 3 kills to land.

Well The rooks were after 51 and they had just taken 52. I was in a Spit 16 and i kept getting killed and i got frustrated. So I upped a Hurricane 2c to go and get myself some kills. I went and flew about 7k and there was god knows how many rooks. The Bishops were outnumbered 2 or 3 to 1 in the beginning. So after i called out on country for help, i went and me and about 7 or 8 people went head first into the Rook horde. There was 3 spits and about 10 hurricanes. (Most hurri 1s suprsingly). I took on 2 of the spits and i ended up killing them both. So i was gonna go and land but i saw Shreck and he had about 3 planes on him and i Dove on 1 of the P-51s. I was low on ammo so i was going home. I got chased by a Spitt 8 and i turned and shot him out of the sky. Almost out of ammo and I have 4 kills. Only 3 bullets on 1 side, 5 on the other side. There was an F4U-1A chasing someone and i went behind him and killed him. I had 5 kills in the middle of a huge dogfight out numbered and I somehow made it back to base and landed my kills.  :devil

Not one of my best, but one of the funniest was last week when I engaged a set of b-17'S with my own set of 17's.

I was not far from my base and probably only at 5 k then, when I notice a set of 17's co-alt ready to bomb the base.

I turn on him, get on his 6, and start to fire with my front guns, it was quite difficult to adjust my aim as I was not in the cockpit anymore, but I manage to get 2 of the buffs on that pass. By the time the opponent, replied with his rear guns, but only to damage my main 17.

And there begins a dogfight with this remaining 17, trying to turn on each other, fire all guns like crazy, but I had a great advantage by then, as I was careful not to lose any of my drones.

I finally manage to get the last one, after like 10 minutes of fight, and land back to base with those 3 b-17's landing 3 kills.  :rock

I guess my opponent was quite upset as he didn't reply to my <S> lol.

Anyway that was a blast, for the ones interested I can provide the film of that unusual  dogfight.

Frame 2 of the Der Grosse Schlag event. Flying with the second bomb division with Easyscore as flight lead. Almost 3 hours of formation flying with over 40 bombers in the air, Luftwaffe coming at us from every direction, primary and secondary targets socked in. Had to fight our way in and out, keep track of ammo usage, maintain tight formation, great escorts of P-51's and P-38's.

That event was most fun I've EVER had playing this game. The immersion factor was through the roof, the sides were very well balanced, weather was a factor, as well as winds at the higher altitudes.

Never foget that event!!!!!

HUGE  :salute  to the CM's, CO's and pilots that organized and flew that one.

I went to a base that was under attack to help defend it. I spawned in my 38J and fired up the engines. I started rollout and made it about 45 feet when I was vulched by a LALA.

That my friends was my best sortie.

Well, it was really quite simple to get all those kills in a Spit I.  I parked my plane near the GV spawn point closest to my base while my squadmates kept spawning GVs and then .efing out of them, giving me proxy "kills."

When I got really bored, I flew up and shot at them until all of my ammo was gone.  Of course, since it was all scored as a Fighter, I actually lost rank because none of the GV kills were counted, and I'd just obliterated my hit percentage.

I've had some great sorties but the two that really stands out to me was while back ago. I couldn't up my pony due to ENY and I'm not big fan of the B so I went up in Hurri I. I came across two LA7s. I got into two vs 1 but end up shooting both down.

Second one was in FM2 - came across 110/P38 mission and I end up shooting down about 5 before rammer got me.
