Well, didn't work too well tonight. Such a shame because we used to have loads of fun with this. These are the only shots I got.




Don't know how I got those two kills. Didn't get shot down at all (even when I was 1 against 2) but did collide a couple of times. My superb Spitfire XII could not catch up with Woody's Hornet and Craig's Tempest II but it sure could out turn them both!

nice to see some shots from it, maybe better luck next time.
at least they wernt the shots of my many encounters with the ground:)

Nice shots...and 2ycragie your kidding arent you?

thats what I was gonna fly, didn't get in though
we up for next week then?

i wish i was.
i tend to throw planes around close to the ground and i keep forgetting these ww2 fighters are as manuverable as jet planes, so i usually end up pancaked onto the floor

Ah, now that's because you used a Tempest. No good as a low level dogfighter. Get a Clipped Winged Spit from Paul Rebuffat's site and I'll see you next week!

okie dokie
thanks for the recommendation
my other tactic is a figure 8 loop which is extremely effective in a jet fighter and as long as you can bring it round a couple of feet from the ground your opponent if they keep up in the 8 will slam into the ground if not you can usually get them when they are coming over the top.
now why would he tell you this perhaps its a well known manuever or perhaps you cant do it in a WW2 fighter.
but i will try next week.
bring a spare chute
muhahahah:)

My spare chute is packed and Air Sea Rescue are on standby!

now i know who to turn to when my chute refuses to open again
it was a sad sad moment when all i could hear was the futile scream of my pilot in his last moments

Well not much catches up with my Hornet. Even a 262 struggles to keep up/get away.

Anyway I shall recheck me Tigermoth for next week...

Hornet as in F/A-18  :o

[quote] Hornet as in F/A-18

I have that Hornet installed and it showed up from my point of veiw last night. I tried to get a grat head to head shot at one point, but Woody was well past me before I hit printscreen!
I'll get some propper combat shots next week, even if I have to get myself shot down for the camera!

ah , I got bored waiting for that one and paused the download a few months ago  :P

nice shots. maybe next time i'll be able to join, but don't count on it
