One of my most exciting moments was rising in a Spit Ia to escort a flight of british bombers coming back from France and finding a 109 systematically taking them out with his cannons.

I took my time to climb and get into a nice hidden position and then took off his elevators while he was lining up his next kill.


Other exciting moment was forming up and flying with many other squadron mates during the Sunday campaign recently run. It's thrilling stuff just to know you're all player flown planes in formation.

The mutisquad campaign was a great moment too, I remember especially when we attacked a Stuka formation on the second mission, and the line of Hurricanes taxiing for takeoff, I really felt I was there in the BoB

Shame I couldn't participate in the last two missions...

The other night on ATAG I climbed my Spittie 1a to 12,000, flew over to France, and spotted a 109 below. I snuck in behind him and in a rare (for me) accurate burst I took off his left aileron. My first bounce!

Too bad I lost sight of him after that only pass...

Maybe it was me, a couple of days ago ... I was really surprised to get bounced at 3000 m over France while climbing and adjusting rpm, rads etc. I've lost an aileron but succeeded in the classical evasion maneuver (nose down to disappear below the Spit's nose, then quick turn right or left and extend in a random direction in the rear quarters, without loosing sight of the enemy). I safely landed back and changed quickly the crate ...
