Yeah, I don't really mind being the one at a disadvantage. Kinda sets the mood for the Battle of Britain flying for RAF, huh?
Side note, GREAT night on ATAG for me tonight. Had a brilliant flight (in the Ia) in which I:
a) managed to take out a 109 over dover, diving on him from height and forcing him into a low energy manoever that put him into a spin.
b) flew a high sweep to the French coast at 18,000ft and bounced a 109 there in a combination of BnZ and TnB attacks.
c) joined a bomber formation at the french coast and flew return leg escort, engaging one fighter (who either collided or took a lucky hit from a bomber gunner) who lost a wing just as I was laying my finger on the trigger, and then fending off a second 109 over the channel.
I claim two confirmed and one probable out of it. I ended up on fumes for fuel on my RTB Hawkinge. Just as I had put the wheels down, the engine coughed up. St. George was with me on that flight, for sure!
Probably my most successful flight online so far.
I did notice some serious warping on the last 109 I fought. Part of why I call it a probable. It hadn't shown up on the score sheet when I logged out, but I had to quit quite soon after the dogfight occurred. I doubt he would have made it home.
