Wow this is a sluggish beast, it don't want to climb, and forget trying anything fancy in a dogfight
BUT, don't get in front of it, or be below it
1st mission, get a Ju88 and 2 FW 190 A9s, never one to follow orders, head into the bad guys backyard, and catch a airfield that is sleeping, 7 planes knocked out on the ground
2nd mission, looks like a patrol type, and since I only have my flight, decide to leave the bombs and rockets behind
LOL, a nasty Bombing raid
able to do a Head on to a raid of He111s, see one of my men go down to the excourts, but pay them back when I knocked down a K4, by that time see, that the fighters are engaged with the rest of my flight, so head back to the bombers
Head on, highside, belly shots,and way too many dead six attacks, but 6 He111s go down, along with another K4 that was headed home and sleeping
the Jug took a pounding, but gave much more then it took
the 50s on the Allied planes are HARD to get used to, cannons tend to blow planes up or chop parts off, the 50s will do the same damage, but the target tends to just break out of the fight and fly into the ground
LOL wish I had a shot of the first K4, it had holes from wingtip to wingtip, and nose to tail, it just rolled onto it's back and flew into the ground
HARD_Sarge
I got 8, the flight got 12 total, but we lost two pilots KIA
