Default 6 on my tail!

I had 6 bandits chasing my 6...



A stall turn later and the inevitable happened...



lol Looking at the debris, I thought 5 had collided! But I'm pretty sure there were only 2 missing after that.
They were hungry for the kill! Fighting over me like vultures. I had shot down 2 of their friends earlier on...

Ha I saw something similar to that too. I was trying to help out my squadmate who was being swarmed so I called in all of my fighters, naturally a fur-ball ensued...So I looped around to see a pair of Fws flying close together, then BOOM they collided.

Yeah it's good to see some pilot error in the AI (or code <cough> )

I followed a FW190 fast through the trees, and you know how they love the rolling scissors, well this guy tried to break away and he stalled and slammed into the ground! lol I was right on the edge of a stall too.
Shame I didn't get the shot into him, but it was a good chase.

I'm really starting to enjoy the PIO-51!

I allowed a FW to get on my six while I flew straight to see if it could shoot me down and as I returned to normal view I was greeted by another enemy fighter coming directly at me, firing. I don't know if they collided but I could see the FW was heading for the ground on fire.

When you press the PS button the game pauses so you can take your pic

There's actually more than just error... there is actually seasoning! One pilot you face might be really green and just fly in a straight line with a roll and a climb. Other veterans will be experienced and be more accomplished at getting away from you (and shooting you down in the process )!!
