yeah full real is really fun.the first approach of a spit,i almost shit my pants,thinking that i would not survive 10seconds.but it seemed that my oponent didnt exactly know how to use CEM.so i outran him easily with long turns gaining angle on his six.about 20seconds later he drowned in the channel.that was the best feeling i ever had in a flight sim.much more immersive than in il21946.
i steady looked at my rpms and ata,oil pressure and water temp.and it worked.
my second fight,one day later, was against two spits.i felt again, that i would not survive this engaging, beeing outnumbered.but again i did well. i even saw off one wing of one of the spits.that was really exciting as it only happened a few times for me as long as i play COd.even offline it happened only two times that i saw a wing off.(and that after 100hours gaming time).i have to confess, the second spit got on my six while i focused on the other.he took his chance and shot some bullets in my wing.but there was no serious damage.i only saw two or three small impact holes on my right wing.so i pushed my stick forward as far as possible,going quickly into a deep dive with negative g,at the same time i gave a little rudder and full ailerons to barrel roll certainly 2000feet down.some meters above the channel i outbalanced my bf and ran away.i observed my six and became aware that the spit couldnt follow me.may be he lost me out of vision.so i maintained my level flight some more seconds to come back later.i tried to gain some altitude and surprised the spit.he didnt even see me(at least i think so),cause he was flying straight back home directing to england.i positioned myself right on his six,reduced the distance so that my crosshair was full of spitty and shot all my remained bullets on this beautiful plane.after that it was less beautiful.no rudder and only one aileron was left,and the engine was smoking.i saw him bailing out.after that i headed back home to france.
i dont claim to be a good virtual pilot,may be it was only luck,but it definetly was a thrill.
it was really immersive and fun.as i already mentioned i played only four times online yet,but never been shot down,does really feel good.i always could make it back home.
so as far as i can tell,shooting spits is possible.but i guess i have not met an ace yet.
