Moving offline to online, a story and some lessons

Well, staring down a 109 cannon is not a comfortable feeling. Especially when he’s using you for target practice.



Hard evasion, too hard and now I’m in a spin! Thankfully I’ve caught it quickly and it has shaken him off for long enough. There he is, coming back around but we have similar energy and he wants to start a turning fight just like the last 109. With a Hurri and two spits! Interesting... There he goes, the two spits are chasing him. Good teamwork! I should be on their comms channel.

Oh well, I don’t have the legs for that so I’m back off home. And just as well! How did my fuel get so low? It’s a long way to swim back to those white cliffs. But what’s that coming my way? Three planes engaging each other so at least one must be an enemy. Yes, a 109 and two spits. Looks like they have things under control so I’ll get out of their way – I don’t want to steal a kill. But the 109 evidently has other ideas! Crazy bastard is closing on me with them still on his tail. Evasion!

Lesson 6: Don’t steal kills. Some people care about their tally (probably more than they should) and shoulder shooting is frowned upon.
