There was a stage when I would turn up to a CFS2 multiplayer dogfight in a Tigermoth with one .303 machinegun. ;D



a "Queen Bee"  with a sting?

Actually, reminiscent of the Polikarpov (Po-2) vs US fighters early in the Korean war ...   The North Koreans would come over in Po-2s at night, and they'd fly too slow and turn too fast for the US fighters to get a bead on them...

That reminds me of how many Fiesler Storch pilots avoided getting shot down!

Can you imagine a Storch and Po-2 dogfight!

Maw teaser from some AvHistory flight testing comments, "Excellent, thanks Alx. I think you will find the Glad vs Cr42 combat rather fun. "

No, you still have that title.  At least Mathias didn't TEASE people with the promise of real fighters!

But I made this little vid, Hurry shooting  Bf109 ove Libya, using TrackIR.
Right-click "save target as" should do.

Why does the Emil spin so fast after it was shot?  It looked like a little toy, very odd  ???

(EDIT: I should have written "roll" rather than "spin".)

Gee WYMMB, just don't tell anything that might look as if there'd be something to like about that video, you have a reputation to lose. ;)

The *Friedrich* got almost all lead into the right wing, first salvo, part of second salvo and the whole load at the last salvo.
Damage modelling is not completed that's why the wing visuals are yet on the plane but physics are processed that's why you see her roll around like that as if she'd had just one wing left. ;)
No serious, secret German defense manover, roll around like crazy so that the enemy believes your are shot off.

That's called the "Luftwhiney stick shaker"  :)



I had a FW 190 try to do that, as I caught him on a zoom up, but I still peppered his butt with my 8 .303s!

(Nothing more ego-killing than being a FW190 shot up by a Spit 1.. :) )
