That's something completely different. BTW He tried Hurricane, too, got his bottom kicked badly and switched back to E-4 There is a good reason for that lol. But cheater is he not. Some of these Russian guys like to do a bit of modem kicking if you get behind them (you know who you are, shame on you, you and you too! ), but never got that with MK boys. I had few good fights with Mk.X and I lost some, won some and some he ran away (which is sort of victory for RAF, innit?). He's just a good pilot in a good aeroplane.

As for the duels - good stuff, Ataros, thanks for posting.

*edit* after watching the 1st fight, Mr.X actually flew very well

Yeah I agree re MrX - he's a good pilot, and most importantly he's a very good shot, and in the E4 he has cannons to use. Last night I was on the tail of a 110 on ATAG, had put several bursts into him and was closing for the kill, I hear the whine of a 109 and just before I could break away, a single burst of cannon fire from MrX destroyed by engine. The cannons are a HUGE advantage to a 109 pilot who is a good shot - if he can make his first pass count, and get good hits on, more times than not he will get the kill on the first pass - MrX is very good at this.

It's nearly impossible to do the same in the brit planes - it's tough to handle, but it's histoprically accurate so while its annoying, I dont mind it. Just have to always fly with a wingman watching your six!
