I really hope the game's still alive after the patch. I'll be all pumped ready to jump in and shoot up some 109's in my patched P-51, then find that nobodies around. :(

the I-153 was ridiculous to shoot. It was so slow, so manouvreable that we had trouble getting it. By the time they (enemy) had about 10 kills, we felt it best to just stay away from the I-153 all together because it was just causing us so much trouble. And i must admit..... :( it was winding me up so much that a few "choice" words did come out.


The 109 was trouble to because he wouldnt turn (he did at first but soon realised it was death for him) so he was trying head on passes and having some sucess.


Ths Shitfire was trouble, because he had the speed AND could manouvre, making it hard on us to get a good shot off.



All in all made for a great game. Very enjoyable and challenging.

:grin: Nice Tread Star Foz. It was a great game, Felt real good to win as we thought at the start we would get hammered. We got a good lead at one point about 14 points to 10, but they came back right at the end to equalise it, I thought it was lost at that point. Fortunatly for the Hurri's we got 2 or 3 quick kills for the max of 20 kills with about 2 minutes left

The I153 was a problem to me at the start as Shectur is a damn good pilot. But In the end I think about half of my 10 kills were Shectur's biplane as I found If I could catch him when he was concentrating on Foz's plane he was an easy kill with only a short burst of Machine guns needed to blow it up. So I was actually looking for the biplane first each time I spawned then move on the next plane which was almost always Benrizz's SpitfireXVI. I think I only killed TurdorP15's Me109 once right at the end of the match (19th kill of 20 between us) I don't know why that was.

I think that TWO Hurricanes together will perform better in a team than one LA-7 and one Hurricane together. Say if Foz had taken an LA-7 into that match he might have got a few more kills but I would have hardly any because when the I153 got behind him they would both be out turning me and I'd be unable to help. So yes the La-7 is better than a hurricane but in some situations it just ISN'T :P

I feel like I missed out!
 
After reading this I tried out the Hurricane--I think it was against Beaver Company in a Spit or something. It was great fun and it made me wish I had been there for this event. :)

Also, I decided to create a new acct., rather than having my Rubberboots acct totally unrelated to my XBLive name. :)

Wish you was their for the event, 3 hurricanes would of been a grea sight fighting various enemies over dover, and as robotic pope said, due to us all flying the same plane it would of made things easier for us.

In the right hands she's a nice bird.

We need to organise a big game for the 360, a "battle of britain" game.
