Hey guys, been watching this forum since the summer but its my first time writing. I had to reply because this game does have a lot of "eye" catching moments.
My story started during the first week of the game's release. I had completed the campaign and decided late one night to try playing online (even though I knew some of you guys would be in the air trying to tear me up). I got into a room, and decided to pick the P-51D, this is before I realized how bad the flight model was. We started a 2v2 round and my wingman actually had a mic, so we were in constant communication. It didn't help us too much because a player on the other team was ripping us apart with his 109, towards the end of the match he got onto my wingman's tail and started to fire. We were flying over the channel at a pretty high altitude when he started to dive towards dover. As my buddy dove, the 109 followed and I was able to bank around and follow. After a few minutes of turning and diving we ended up on the deck with me still trying to save my buddy. I told him to break left, and he did, but the 109 quickly snapped left and tried to pull lead. I had my sights on him but I knew he was going to beat me in the turn(I'm in the P51 remember) and probably get my bud, so I did what i had to do. As my buddy flew between some trees at the end of a farm I yanked the stick and fired on the 109(knowing I probably wouldn't hit him). As he flew between the trees I saw 3-4 small bursts on his wing, he slowly keeled over and crashed into the farm. My buddy and I were screaming over the mic like little boys and after the match I checked the leaderboard and found out the guy I shot down was ranked #5 in the online community. I had a pretty fun night getting my first kill, this game is awesome.
