I fly repka 2 mostly because it usually has the most people on and the map isn't rediculously big for the aount of players. I'de prefer a full real server but the english channel map is huge for the amount of people playing.
I'm not stating this for all servers but repka 2 is full of spit 2as. I just played on it 10 minutes ago and almost everyone on red was a 2a.
What does this mean?
Scully (my wingman) and I were patroling at 400 KM when he noticed 2 dots approaching from our 6 oclock low. We had plenty of distance so we engaged afterburner and tried to climb away. when afterburner ran out we pulled a slight banking left to check 6. the two dots were closing in. (Crap 2a).. The only idea left was to attempt a drag and bag. My wingman turned (to bait the spit) and dove to our 2 Oclock while I climbed. The lead spit took the bait and followed in the dive (usually a fatal mistake in a spit). I quickly inverted and dove in persuit ignoring the 2nd for my wingmans sake while also assuming I had him beat in the dive.
What happened?
My wingman quickly reached 700 KPH hoping to get distance since the dive started with a negative g dive. I also hoped to gain on the spit in the high speed dive and clear my wingmans tail while the spit was focussed on said wingman and said wingman was outdiving the spit. Unfortunately the spits outdove both of us. The lead spit outran me and killed my wingman while the second spit cought up to me and disabled my controls. Keep in mind this was a prolonged dive from 400 KM. There was lots of room between all planes and the dive lasted a good 30 seconds before shots were fired. The sky was angry that day my friend, this was no girly dive. Wings were creaking.
To add insult to injury. I bailed, parachute didn't deploy, and i supermaned into the side of the red mountain airfield. This part I actually enjoyed.
Hehe.
Conclusion,
There is no tactic to kill spit 2a unless you have a large altitute advantage and he doesnt see you.
Or hes a poor shot and you give him lots of time behind a friendlies tail.
I'm all for realism guys but atleast limit the amount of them. whats the actual combat statistic? 40 percent?
Gollum.
