I always find the low six perfect bounce much more satisfying than a hard fought one.
Must be comin from tons of adrenalin in my blood when the distance gets closer and closer and i hope he dont discoveres me till i am 250 yrds away, hitting the cannon trigger and watch him burn.
But i got a nice story how i evaded the "perfect bounce" on the last moment:
i was heading from A7 (lake map) N on not much fuel cause we just had a defense battle won there. But i wanted to look if N were a few cons.
When i was just about to turn i saw a black dot far away. As i close i saw a Yak down low and decided to try a one pass attack. The Yak noticed me and evade. Me low on fuel hit the deck, running home, watching as the Yak disappeared behind me.
After a while i throttled back, look aft everthing clear.
I slowed down for the final approach. Cutting throttle lowering flaps and gear. Cause i was a bit to far to the left of the runway, i turned softly right, than softly back left.
When i tough, time to check 6 a last time.
I look back, and dang there 850 yrds away a the Yak popped up on my 5 oclock. It was in a gentle left trun to get on my 6.
I pushed nose down, and than hard right, the gear streaming from the stress. The Yak close rapidly.
When it startet firing from 300 yrds, i gave full right rudder and due to the speed difference the Yak overshoot me to the left.
I turned left, now floating over my home base, preparing for the next attack. Gear was still out.
The Yak looped and the field ack cut its tail off.
Puh i survived, but that was real real close.
