Just one of those missions ya gotta talk about .....
....So tonight I finally had it with the .303's and decided to take a dewo up to the battle for brux. Two minutes in I'm loading up some music cuz that damn engine drives me up the wall.... sputter-put-put-poop-sputter...5 minutes in I'm reminded of how fk'n slow it is and how crappy it climbs.
After what felt like 30 minutes later I arrive at the brux battle, which i found out was the "ground" battle for brux after making several laps around town.
Just as I'm about to start busting some squishes, our guys on the ground start yappin about an he111 but i dont see shit. So I cut the music and the engine, put the plane in a stall and pop open the canopy...and I hear bombs falling past me but no plane. WTF!!!! Light the fire again and climb up through cloud layer after cloud layer, not a damn thing so I give up. Back to doin laps.
Finally an EA call comes across obj and I find a 109 doin laps around a well defended fb. 2 passes and I'm huggin the cannons...much better. I head back to my patrol circle then the town gets libbed so I put the plane in mexican overdrive and adjust the turtle climb to 4, off to peer I go.
Half way there this gray circle pops up at my low 1. I firewall and roll in. Yeehaaa 110! But I dont have the E and he's on cruise to brux. SOB slow pos! I tuck in under his low 6 and wait. Eventually the 110 driver decides to do some small degree turns to check his loc or maybe cuz he heard me...either way it allows me to cut the gap in half and I pop off a few rounds. He does a bunch of split-s' and I cant catch until he gets on the deck and makes the mistake of turning too hard and wasting the E he coulda used to run. I let fly but my aim sux so I only scratch the paint, but the chase is on.
Then I get fk'n plinked!!! Oh great now what right...6 check...109 with a lotta smash. SOB! I continue on with the 110 for a bit but the 109 starts getting closer and closer so I cut into him and we go at it, but I'm like wtf I dont even know what this thing can do I havnt flown it in ages. So's I start flat turning with him but he's using that bigass elevator to its full extent and I'm getting plinked as he starts getting the edge in this flat scissors he's sucked me into.
Lame. I'm thinkin my ass is grass but I notice he's biting with that elevator so hard its killed his E and I attempt pitching verticle not knowing if the lawnmower engine will take it. Some how it does. I roll over on him but as I pull the nose up to get a bead on him I'm riding the edge and one of the wingtips is begging to stall. WOOPS! I barely miss the turf. Okay that kinda worked....I've got the edge for a second and I get a couple rounds off. nothin. My speeds pickin up and he pitches hard for another flat scissors. Of course I over shoot after the second cut and again I give it a go nose high. Same result. Right on the edge, I get a few more shots in then PLINK PLINK! WTF! 6 check 110 came back. Motherfkr! Aw screw it I'm goin for the 109. I bear down on him but this time I got a lot more E and I just go high immediately, he blows all his E in the flat scissors and I inch the nose towards his wallowing 109 and let fly with the remaining cannons only to kick up dust. Down to mg's with the 110 chewin on my tail, I know somethings gotta be smokin now and the temps probably through the roof but I'm too afraid to look.
The dewo's right on the edge, I'm losing lift with the holes from the 110, everytime I go with the high yo-yo to cover my overshoot I have to dance the edge of stalling as I try to bring the nose back up. The dewo literally just wants to snap upside down each time. Advantage one is I know the 110 behind me cant hold the vert so thats all I got to keep it at bay. Advantage two is the 109 is about to buckle too. We're right down in the dirt cutting through the trees and I'm poppin him with the mg's. Finally he snaps in. Of course he doesnt blow up, just cartwheels a few times. sob no kill for me.
I go level and see the 110 turning around at my 7 so I turn into him. Go vert over the top and smash on him. 2 passes later he swaps ends and blows up. Game over. I rtb to brux, put some popcicles on the engine and call it good. No credit for the '09. Oh well.
