Another great night of battles...

[Tudorp15]

Another good night of battles.. I was as usual really sucking at dog fighting, but I am persistant and kept flying anyway.. Robotic Pope was hosting most of them tonight and graciously started hosting some of my favorites, CTA. A few in realistic, then a few in SIM. I was being slick and landed, and hid my LA-7 in-between a couple bunkers. This was in SIM, so I felt safe from seeking foe. I hear the rumble of an engine. Swung my head around and up and I see him.. It's FOZ.. Damn... I hope he didn't see me. He flew right over me. I watched. I noticed him rolling to the left. The roll continued until I could see him, nose down, coming right at me. I didn't have time to get rolling, because he was on a direct course at me. I knew then I was in trouble. He must have saw me. I scrambled to throttle up to get rolling. Suddenly, I was gone... I saw God...

On another game. I am not sure if it was Foz this time. But I was hidden on the ground again in SIM mode... It was very hazy, and hard to see. But sat there. Waiting for the ticker to start, but it wouldn't because they also had someone on the field.. We were in a holding pattern. I look to my left and I see a red band on a plane parked about 50 yards from me to the left.. I radioed for help, giving up this foe's position to my mates in the air. I was worried, because I was so close, I might be in danger calling in a strike this close to me.. I look back at the enemies plane, and was shocked. He saw me too. He turned his plane around and was rolling, heading right for me. I heard and saw the tracers coming from his guns as he rolled over towards me. I slammed my throttle all the way to the glare sheild. My LA-7 lunged forward and leapt out of his path. He missed me. I out smarted him. He missed me. I got so caught up in celebration for that slick escape, that I failed to noticed that my plane lifted off the ground. I could not leave yet. The field wasn't ours yet. I cut the throttle, and slammed my plane back down, hoping I was still close enough to the ground to just make it. I wasn't. I hit hard. I was on fire... I guess he got the last laugh again... Dammit..

It was fun as usual mates..

GREAT games tonight!!

that kill where i bombed you between the bunkers will remain in memory for a while, it was some good spotting on my part i must admit (you were hidden well!!!!)

The second one was also me -at the end of the runway on sicily next to the hanger. I saw you, knew it was you because it was the LA-7 haha. tried to do what i could but no joy, then as we both moved past one another my plane slipped down the embankment at the side of the runway and blew up!! couldnt believe it.

Superb games tonight though, thoroughly enjoyed them. Cant wait for more soon.

Some great flying by everyone involved tonight.

You're right, it was fun tonignt. I think my favourite game mode is Sim CTA aswell. You can do what every you want. land, bomb, strafe, dogfight, grrrrr kamakazi. If only there were more modes like it. A couple of moments I had in two games , The first was the Sim CTA game with blind weather that Turdorp described as very hazy. Damn it was hard to see, luckly the runway was a clear and long one and I was able to land straight away... JUST. I touched downin my stuka at 3 quarters of the runway, ran out of runway, fell off down the bank at about 30mph and finaly came to rest in the middle of a street of houses. It still counted as me being on the runway though and with Tudorp's help we took the airfield. I didn't move for the rest of the 10mininutes lol, my rear gunner was in a perfect position to snipe at every enemy plane that tried to land and they couldn't see me thanks to the houses lol. I shot down Foz's thunderbolt once and caused him and others to crash quite a few times on landing. Oh and I got to watch Tudorp and Foz's planes dancing together on the tarmac lol . Such fun

Well when I get my 360 copy, I'll be sure to fly with you Turdop15. We'll have to fly Yak-3s because I get bored of the La-7 fast because of its low recoil. Or we could fly La-5FNs!?

FOZ and Pope, you both can fly whatever you like? First just let me get my money for it.

Ok soviet its a deal

robotic you sneaky sod hiding between the houses hahaha picking me off while on final approach. Dirty german trick

'll get you back haha

The first Sim CTA, my wife was giving me weird looks because of the grunting coming out of me while I landed, took the airfield quickly, took off to line up perfectly to bomb a foe. Feeling invincible swung around again only to watch FOZ nail a landing. He sat there, taking away what I sweated over. I grinned and laughed, because I tipped my nose down, lined up perfecty. I could see him looking back at me with that "oh shit" look in his eyes. That made me grin even bigger. As I got into perfect position, and angle of attack, I hit the bomb release.. WHAT? I hit it again, again and again, screaming NOOOO.... I damn near broke my controller trying to get a bomb off my plane that was not there.. I cursed Pope for limiting fuel and ammo for a second..lol.. Thought I had bombs, but didn't... All it was, was a simply low level fly by, and all I could do was watch as Foz took my airfield away..
