Great flying yesterday. I don't remember too much of the missions just that it was fun and I had some problems with setting the sabre up and finding targets.
In the end I think we were hunting each other for a good 2.5 to 3 hours. In the beginning we chased each other on cloud level and Sithis and me had the advantage. After 45 minutes we decided that we would fight closer to the ground and Sithis and me started dying more frequently until we finally remembered that our strength was our ability to outclimb the spitfires in our p51 and bf109k4.
So Sithis and me would prey on the spits from cloud level dive for attacks and climb back to safety.
Or one of us would go in, provoke them to follow into a steep climb so the other one of us would have near stationary, stalling, spits as targets.
The last run was the most noticeable for me as Sithis and me did a track the spits from the rear, me running in in front as bait and Sithis following to make the kills.
I ended up between the spits and was able to damage a cooler so one of the spits was trailing white smoke and Sithis scored similar hits on the other one. Having two clearly marked targets that were now trying to get us into a turn fight we decided to climb and plan the next attack on them. From up high we were only able to spot one of the spits. They had separated. We drove on that spot and after 3 attacks it was heavily smoking and in a climb apparently over-g'ed his damaged plane and a wing came off.
Even though he was trailing white smoke it took us a while to spot manuel we dove for attacks, I damaged his engine badly as he later told us and Sithis tried to kill him, u fortunately getting himself killed (something that happened to all of us... Mostly to me over-g'ing my plane while coming out of a long shallow dive being too fast).
Manuel used his chance and landed the plane.
Even though I am not much of a fighter pilot (looking arround using the num pad is quite cumbersome... I need to come up with something else) it was a lot of fun to me... Maybe if there is a good offer on a sale I will get the bf109k4 after all to we can do some ww2 action with proper planes
