[macro]

Who needs rich targets when you got me sittin in a bus... I mean hurri lol. Nice shot btw didnt even see the tracers

Thanks, had a bit of a mix up actually with my wingman and we both attacked. I collided with your aircraft after you died and lost most of one wing and had to limp home.

No.401 fared particularly well yesterday!

All five of us got at least one full bomber kill and some of us got more than one. Only lost one pilot when his parachute didn't open. Quite pleased with the result.

There were certainly plenty of targets for us to take on. Lost a wing to a cannon round from a sneaky 109 on my second attack run, but parachuted down quite happily.

Bring on the next one!

Also, has anyone had any success with .net repair / dxsetup thing in removing the frame rate drop when attacking the big groups? I started to get hit with the frames dropping until I pulled away from the main group and attacked a few of the smaller formations which made it playable. I guess I'm just wondering if this is still an issue for people?

The sneaky 109 was me.
(Btw. I've got no credit for this kill in the campaign statistics)

Sadly I wasn't able to attack more of the hurricanes which were attackig the bombers since my wingman got into trouble and called for help.

But it was a pretty immersive sight when all the hurricanes started their attacks on this big bomber formation.

It was a good shot, Pitti. My situational awareness was pretty bad. My wingman lost his engine and I was too focused on getting the bombers. Though, that's not necessarily a bad thing! You must have hammered my right wing with a cannon shot or two. I tried to go defensive, but the aircraft was already non-responsive. Got it into a dive to get away a little bit before bailing out.

The campaign stats are weird. We didn't get credit either for 1 or 2 bombers I think, but no worries. I'm only counting one thing really: do I survive the mission? So far, I've lived through each mission I've played so I'm happy!

Yes, it was one pass with a short cannon burst (about 4 rounds) directly on your right wing.

I'am aware of the problems with the statistics (I just wanted to mention it). And you are right, surviving is the most important thing for me as well. So far, I've also survived every mission.

What is really noticeable for me in notafingers video is how stable a gun platform the 109 is. Certainly the Spitfire is way more 'twitchy' out of the RAF fighters, more so than the Hurricane, but the 109 looks rock solid for firing from distance (that's how it felt when I flew it a while back). On the video the whole thing is so damn easy to win, really pisses me off we can't give a proper fight because of these appalling FM's

[Osprey]

Yeah I don't mind flying but it's pretty much a joke with these FM's for the Hurricane. Out dived, out turned, out climbed, much slower and with weaker guns.

I jumped a 109 over Eastchurch with 6kft advantage but once the first bounce is spotted and evaded then it's advantage 109. This was where, I think, we had several Hurricanes jumping 3 109's. We were all shot down after a few minutes of fighting.
