Double Tap

Even after flying IL-2, PF, & 1946 for over ten years I am still doing and seeing unexpected things.

I should know better and I was darn lucky to get this one since I was not running an ntrk when I flew the mission. I had to hope the regular .trk function would still play it correctly. Outside view is the only way you can see everything but I was not flying the mission in this manner. Heck in cockpit mode I had no clue I had hit both of them and I was looking everywhere for plane Number 1 when I got the second "Enemy Aircraft Destroyed" message.

Skin on the P-38 was done by mapal.

Pretty neat.
It is always a fun surprise when one of those "firsts" happen for you.

I can recall just one "double tap" in my IL2 career. Long time ago, FW190, online. Attacked a pair of La from low 7 or 5. High speed approach after the dive, I didn't realise what happened until that unlucky pair burst out in chat. While they were calling me names I spotted another target, dived and managed to shoot it down. My reputation as a "cheater" was sealed among those guys.
I have been average fighter always, so that was probably my best result in years.

As for airfield shootings... When Ta183 was just released, it was such fun to play "SAM" by launching missiles from the field. Especially on "arcade" servers with unlimited ammo.

Lol, that would have been cool to see all those "Sams" in the air dimlee, as long as I wasn't the one being shot at by them.
