Default Your Most Exciting CLOD Moments

For me it had to be the first Dornier I shot down in a hurricane, spinning round in the evening mist... or it may have been in a lone blenheim ducking and weaving trying to escape from a pack of 109's!

First time ever online and shooting down a fighter the same day. That was short lived then because I started a very long drought. Talk about beginners luck that's it. lol

Surviving a duel with the infamous MrX and getting enough rounds in him to score a part kill, later I went into a foray over Hawking where the guys on ATAG TS were calling for assistance with three BF's working as a group, I got some rounds into one and tried to do a runner feeling smug but Cheesehawk came along a killed me dead. It's been all downhill since then, but hey, things can only get better!

I shot down a whole group of 7 blens with a single 109 once, strafing them like a column of cars

tell me to do it again and i'll get shot down... i tried already another dozen times to do it again...

Online on ATAG being bounced by a 109 in my Spit 1a and managing to evade his attacks and slowly turning the tables, then gettting behind him and give him a good burst that caused a severe fuel leak. He spun while pulling too hard and looking behind me I saw him in a flat spin and the pilot bailed out.

Funny thing is that "XX bailed out" message appeared on the chatbar exactly then but later I saw that "Bf-109 (IA) was destroyed by me" message, so I still don't know if it was a human flown aircraft or not, the way he flew and fought was not like IA at all, but if it was then it shows that IA in this sim can be quite lifelike.

Lol, getting killed is part of the game and I have no problems with that. Very often (like Krupi), I will stay with the plane untill the bitter end, even in hopeless situations. You guys did a pretty damned good job in that sortie and deserved your victories, BTW I did see you under my low 6.......about 0.5 sec before you pulled the trigger and it was a case of ....'oh shit! I'm about to be dead!' and I was! ...... S:

Pity I overshot that 109 and lost sight of him in the dog fight! I guess he used one of the 109's historical advantages and had the 'will' to disengage with impunity!
Nice tip, will try. Makes sense I guess since I often miss my ideal convergence window by a little.

My most exciting moment? First time online! I'd recommend anyone who hasn't been online yet to dip a toe in - just have a go. Also, make sure you get teamspeak 3 even if you just listen in at first.
