your "nice" eye catching moments in game

I remember winning an Arcade Dogfight against Hurris and Spits in an A-20. I don't actually know how I did it but it was awesome.

Another time, I had set cloud to low, with blind, so we're all flyning around lost, then almost simultaneously we burst up through the clouds. I see an enemy about to fly above me, so I let rip with the guns, and I shot him down. I spun the plane around and saw this fireball go back through the clouds. It was amazing

Tonight we were playing capture the airfield on sim mode. I was flying an I16 with bombs and I pulle some negative Gs and the engine died. So I glided down and landed and just sat on the field right in between two big fires. I just sat in my cockpit looking around at all the mayhem around me when suddenly an enemy IL2 pulls a smoking loop right in front of me. It looked like an airshow lol. And then moments later I look over to my left and two teammates come streaking in flying formation (it was Danny booze and foz or mirgervin I think) and finish him off before he could bomb me. I wish I could have recorded that match from my view. It was like being in a movie

Yup id be their, wouldnt of known you were hiding had you not told us lol. The IL2 in question caused me ALOT of damage!! i got on its 6 and didnt realise it was an IL2 at first, by the time i realised it was to late, he had me smoking!! i think it was lil GUNNY lil flying the IL2, not sure though. By the time i respawned he had already crashed and burned.

Had a few actually, remember an arcade Strike in Catania, we had all the coastal positions and the Opfor the single battleship with all 500 tickets on board. We had a B-17 on our team so I figured it was easy street, but there were 2 chaps in I-16's who really knew what they were doing and shot it and it's gallant escort down almost simultaneously. I had lagged at the start so was just approaching this in my Emil.

Knowing the same thing would just happen again, as they only had one target to defend, I dived straight down at the and cracked one open while keeping speed up to keep his wingman off my back, off course he just respawns above the ship so that was no good and I knew the B-17 was coming to it's inevitable death again, so I flew up towards him again (his wingman still in tow) missed him but just flew on too the south making sure they followed me, which they did and so began the most turny, twisty, G-forcey, controller breakingly 3 minutes I've ever had on IL2. It was all very worth it though when I led them back just in time to see our bomber bust their ship open completely unmolested. Game won, though the back of my plane was holier than a bishop.

Apart from that though would be any of the times i got postgame messages from guys complimenting my playing or asking for advice

Hey guys, been watching this forum since the summer but its my first time writing. I had to reply because this game does have a lot of "eye" catching moments.
My story started during the first week of the game's release. I had completed the campaign and decided late one night to try playing online (even though I knew some of you guys would be in the air trying to tear me up). I got into a room, and decided to pick the P-51D, this is before I realized how bad the flight model was. We started a 2v2 round and my wingman actually had a mic, so we were in constant communication. It didn't help us too much because a player on the other team was ripping us apart with his 109, towards the end of the match he got onto my wingman's tail and started to fire. We were flying over the channel at a pretty high altitude when he started to dive towards dover. As my buddy dove, the 109 followed and I was able to bank around and follow. After a few minutes of turning and diving we ended up on the deck with me still trying to save my buddy. I told him to break left, and he did, but the 109 quickly snapped left and tried to pull lead. I had my sights on him but I knew he was going to beat me in the turn(I'm in the P51 remember) and probably get my bud, so I did what i had to do. As my buddy flew between some trees at the end of a farm I yanked the stick and fired on the 109(knowing I probably wouldn't hit him). As he flew between the trees I saw 3-4 small bursts on his wing, he slowly keeled over and crashed into the farm. My buddy and I were screaming over the mic like little boys and after the match I checked the leaderboard and found out the guy I shot down was ranked #5 in the online community. I had a pretty fun night getting my first kill, this game is awesome.
