The poor old (ex) Me109 broke of the fight and really tried get back home after some time. I did hit him a few times, but no smoke. So i assumed he ran out of fuel to continue longer. Other Me109's where heading back also. Not an expert. But considering the range of the Me109 it does make sense. In 1940 they didn't have an awfull long time to stay and play over England.

-edit-

And maybe that's one of the strong parts of this game. I'm pretty sure they included alot of stuff that is historically correct. And maybe sometimes i (we) are seeing things that does make sense considering the events that took place, but they are not 'coded' into the game. Frankly i don't care since it only draws me more into the game. =)

It is moments like this which I think will make this game.

On the same mission, after scoring hits on an HE111 whilst in a screeming dive, I pulled out only to find myself on the tail of a Stuka (Quite lucky as I was playing on simulation and normally can never find these juicy targets). I gave him a quick burst and watched him start to flame and peel away into a dive. At this moment another one appeared about 1000 feet below. I watched as the first dived completely out of control into the second one, errupting in a massive ball of flame. 2 for the price of 1!
I was so amazed by this completely random event that I ended up on the recieving end of a 109. Too busy watching the falling reckage to check my six. Hopefully I will learn my lesson before the full game comes out!

Well if you do end up flying in straight line, then like you said. Keep your head on a swivel, or be sure that Jerry can't sneak up on you

Lol, took me a while but i've also got my first 109 kill.

I was "fighting" some stukas when i suddenly saw tracer rounds all around me, so i made tight turn to see there's a 109 on my tail.
Unsuccesfully tried for 5 minuten to shake him off before deciding to call in some backup.
As soon as the second Spitfire arrived the 109 breaks away and tries to escape.
Got behind him, took a few shots, and down he went...

Love this game already!

I've had an He111 break a wing and flip over onto another he111 beside it. I've also clipped a He111, gone into a spin only to hit another He111 full tilt...
This game is mind bogglingly excellent...seems like Russia's aviation brainiacs being short on real plane jobs is our gain...thanks guys!
