Hahaha Yes I hate that too. Once a few weeks back I was flying my hurricane and firing at a 109 when you wouldn't believe it, 1 then another friendly Spitfire mkiX flew inbetween us and into my fire, I was a bit pissed off and just kept firing at the 109. Well somehow the first Spit stole my kill, then got killed by my friendly fire. The second Spit crashed into the exploding first spit and I flew just underneith the huge ball of flame. I lol though, it wasn't embarising for me, they deseved it. I can't remember being embarased at all playing this game in fact, its all for fun.

Nobody at the moment. Been unemployed for the past few months which is why I can waste so much time on video games and the internet

Here's one for the collection of embarrassing moments:

I love the 109's. Usually I like to fly against a flight of 5-6 spitfire MkII in a Emil. However, today I did something... well, you be the judge.

I set up the training mode: 5000 meters to start with, and altitude advantage taken. Realistic mode, limited F/A, Dover as the scenery. Hazy weather and evening as the time setting. Veteran AI setting.

There I was, flying around to get the 6 spitfires I choose as opponents. I immediately dove to get the first two, full throttle at 19,000ft. I lined up the dark shaped planes and opened fire. Within the first seconds one of the spiffies bursted into flames, the second one was diving so I followed him and got a long range deflection shot at 900 meters that left the bastard smoking and spinning. Now to zoom back to the perch and get the other 4. As I climbed at 45º and 290 Kts. I targeted the closest spitfire and changed to the third person view to watch him try to follow me. Not far behind him were the rest of the spitfires climbing to get me... then is when things got interesting:

The spitfires weren't stalling! I had climbed close to 5000 ft and my airspeed was below 100 Kts and the suckers kept on coming! Then, when one got close enough, the target display showed the full aircraft ID: they were Spitfires Mk IX!!! I must have made a mistake while setting enemies on the setup screen. Needless to say that they tore a new butthole on me. However, I did managed to shoot them all down on my second attempt.

When I spend more than an hour turning around aimlessly, hoping to find the two damned AI YAK-3 that seem to predict and counter my every move.The best part?I was still shot down in the end.

You know i actually think i remember that, i specifically remembered saying "what the hell" then saw who had made the kill and had to laugh a little

it certainly was a funny moment
