How Sad.....
« on: January 27, 2010, 04:27:15 PM »
Yesterday, i was flying in my P-47M, and after some fighters, and a P-47N making a pass at some tanks made some passes at the base, loosing my left gear, oil, and my aux fuel tank. After 1 min or so of flying, I realize there is a spit 16, and a Ki84 chasing me. They dogged me for two sectors till my engine finaly died, and the spit 16 got the kill after HO'ing me. How desperate for a kill do you have to be to follow someone for two whole sectors, for the CHANCE at getting a kill? It wasn't even a guarenteed kill for either of them, since there were 2.

He was flying a Spit16.  Why would you expect anything else?

Of course, one could also ask..."how desperate to live do you have to be to run for 2 whole sectors in a broken plane?"

...just sayin'.... :banana:

2 sectors should have been enough to gain some speed and energy advantage I would think. Especially over those two rides, granted your advantage may be fleeting but you could have worked it !

on the flip side of that/.........how desperate must one be to run for 2 whole sectors?

What did you do to piss them off enough to chase you down for that long? Were you being a picker from 10k above the fight? vulching? HOing? (8x 50cals, right? Full ammo load, right?)

To be fair, sometimes I let a wounded bird go, but I may chase one down for vendetta, or spend 40 minutes chasing an intact bird just to piss him off because he won't engage.... You never know what you'll get.

First off, I have trouble believing that a Spitfire could have chased you for two sectors...
Second, you should have turned and fought.

spit16 and ki84 have almost identical deck speeds on WEP, Ki a few mph faster off-wep.

You don't believe the spitty, but you buy the ki? hehe  :old:  :banana:  :bolt:
