Here is that mission from my perspective. Available in 1080p on youtube.

The combat you describe begins at 1:50. Salute to 501 & 56, it was a really intense fight.

Also, salute to No.401_Aborted Man, he gave us a hell of a fight and was the reason we were low in that area to begin with.

Yeah he's a good pilot. You probably caught my crappy spin in at 0 feet which led to my death - not enough practice - but really, should I be unable to keep a turn with a 109?

@Farber, you have 1min with the E-1, the E-3 has more firepower anyway. I'd be happier with 1 gun if I had an FM capable in a fight rather than this Ilya-butchered embarrassment.

[5./JG27.Farber]

Less than 1 min in the wings. 1 min in the nose. I would swop for the hurri/spit set up rather than the E1 setup - suppose the grass is always greener on the other side... Maybe this is why Galland asked for spitfires... Pehaps he was flying an E1?

Thing is with the spit and hurri is you get all your fire power at once so you have to make the shot count and not waste any. With the E1 you can afford to be wasteful but you never really get the 1 burst destruction, at least I dont.

[Osprey]

You do really, those MG can cause a lot of problems very quickly. The important thing is getting guns on the enemy, I could carry 10 cannon but If I don't get to fire them they aren't much good. I would swap your FM for 4 guns if you like? You're going to lose some friends in combat though

Galland flew an E4, Steinhilper whined about it in his book, complaining that 'the Spaniards' got all the best stuff. I'm pretty sure Galland complained about losing a cannon for the F model and refused it, preferring the E4. In his book he says he asked for Spitfires to wind up Goering but was clear he preferred the 109.

Let's face it, 1C are doing a terrible job.

Nice video mate

All I see is good shooting on blue side and lousy shooting on red (around 2:00.. c'mon lads you know better than that!). It is true though that Emil is easier but still nice flying & shooting.

Second flight of No.501 (Hurricanes) claiming 1x Do-17 destroyed and 1x Bf 109 destroyed, all rtb OK... not bad for bus drivers
