I haven't had too many stunning moments yet, but I do recall playing a game of strike, and leading a huge comeback, which felt pretty good.

We were playing 2 player teams (I was with random people BTW), one bomber and one fighter on each team. I was playing bomber, but the fighter covering me wasn't doing so good and we were getting totally beat up by the other team. Then with 5 minutes left in the game, I shot down the enemy fighter (who seemed to be a pretty experienced player) with the gun turret on my bomber, than finally my teammate got it together and covered me enough for me to bomb the crap out of the other team, we made a comeback and won by about 10 tickets.

Not totally spectacular, but feels good to win a close game like that.

Playing a ding dong team deathmatch, and had a spit in my sights. We were rolling and dicing for a bit and he tried to do a "pull out" after a split-s dive. We both went down ultra low and my left wing tip actually scraped the water. The plane slowed noticable for a sec as it happened and I just managed to gun the WEP to recover.

That and a game of CTA, I was on the glide path and a FW 190 tried to bounce me from the rear. However I was going so slow he totally overshot and I got him as he roared past with a burst from my guns. He plowed right in to the front of the airstrip and made it a nice glowing fireball to light it up/ I was chuffed since it was a night match, it made the landing a whole lot easier

Playing online last night, I had an Il-2, and the other two (dogfight), Hurricane and Il-10.

The Il and I were flying straight at each other, trying to gun each other down, guns blazing, whilst at the same time, the Hurricane is straight on my six. We're both taking hits as we fly at each other, and he roars over my head. I hear an explosion, and see on the compass that the Il and Hurri have hit each other! I very lol'd

Try setting it to 16 HE111s. Now THAT is impressive when they all collide into each other. It's funny enough just to see them acting like fighters

This will probably not seem that stunning, but getting my first kill in MP on sim against a guy who was WAY better than me was pretty memorable.

Playing the Red Skies of Dover mission of the demo this morning on Realistic. Took a few potshots at an HE-111 on the left side of a formation of three, and ended up taking out the pilot. The 111 drifted right into the plane next to it, colliding perfectly and destroying them both instantly, a piece of the second 111's right wing slashing the tail section off a third 111 on it's right.

Can't wait for the full experience tomorrow.
