First fight in a 109

[jimbop]

Thanks guys, the debate has been interesting to watch. I think I agree with both of you!

Maintaining high energy should be a top priority, especially in the 109, but it is useful to know escape methods just in case things go wrong. As they frequently do for me...

Interesting debate.
I think it's even sweeter to beat a red opponent on his turf. On the deck. It just rubs it in really doesn't it
I think if you flew perfect discipline in the bf109 red would almost never shoot you down. Now that's not very sporting is it?!
I can think of more than one occasion when an over confident red has over shot my 109 while I was break turning with combat flaps... I even put the gear down once cause I was sure I was gonna die! But I whooped for joy moments later when he over shot and I turn back onto him and lit him up with 20mm. I even remember that that guy was trash talk'n me in the chat window before all this happened. heheh
It was my finest hour.

Maybe I'm too impetuous for jg5_emil to fly with me but I'm haven fun.

Fun is what it is all about and that's all that matters. Our fun is different to your fun that's all. We take great pleasure in flying as a team and working together to win. We don't go in for certain kinds of fighting because that's not what we're about. We exclusively flew coops in IL2 so discipline was very important, if you lose a couple of aircraft in the beginning of the engagement things tend to go rapidly down hill.
