1946 is sweet to smooth the patch abstinence... Flew an online mission yesterday evening on Uk Dedicated 1 in a Ju-88 with torpedoes. After getting in under heavy aaa off the North African coast I got a good hit on a British battleship, on the way back I got badly shot up by a pair P-40:s but my trusty gunners amazingly managed to get both of them - but my plane really was in bad shape, leaking all kinds of fluids and one aileron shot off. My wife came in disturbing me right then so limping home to my "Sicily" airbase I realize the was another P-40 stalking my base! Arghh! In the confusion I had flown to Malta and the British base
Doing a 180 turn towards my own base I have to reduce power as the overheating was bad, the only gunner alive is the belly gunner so I have to do some dolphin flying for him to get a number of bursts at the chasing P-40... He starts smoking after a while and just as I realized that my only gunner hero was out of ammo he stalls at low altitude and spins into the med. I gain some altitude as the gasoline has been leaking for 15 minutes and the engines die just as I pass the Sicily coast line... Manage a perfect three pointer and my smoking plane shrieks to a stop...
Does it get better than that?
