DZ9 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Sweet, I promise to put more time into this one. you'll need to! those hurricanes have got fecking pea shooters took me about 10 tries to even get one down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 This mission is truly impossible LOL The hurricane simply does not have the stopping power to take down the he-111. the SPIT however fair a bit better... I just don't see finishing this mission with the hurricane... :twisted: any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Yea, it's a tough mother... I got two smoking bad (not down, just smokin') before I got my engine shot out. tough to do with those .303 peashooters. Maybe make it whoever can get the most kills on limited ammo...?

delta7 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 when playtesting I got them all with the spit and the hawk (p-40) - the spit was too easy with the cannon. :mrgreen: I got 3 or 4 with the hurricane so should be possible to get all 8. :wink: The secret I found was to cull them out of the herd. Just get them leaking fuel or smoking on a pass and break and move onto next bandit and repeat. It will take a few passes on each plane. I have never been able to bring one of those SOBs down in a single run. If it aint possible with the huricane then Ill take the fastest time with the hawk as I know this is definatly possible. but Im sure you can do it with the hurricane psycho I like jensenparks suggestion so a second medel for the most downed on LIMITED ammo with the spitfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Tough one :shock: My best was two kills, two down (belly-landed), one prop feathered and another with the engine smoking- with two blissfully flying on undamaged. Out of ~ 30 passes only one resulted in critical damage (burning engine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A confirmed leader in the clubhouse - all destroyed in around 45 mins good thinking using the accelerated time to get hurricane into position and some excellent shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awsome !! :shock: Will go for the Spit challenge I think , not enough hours in a day for the Hurricane ! lol ~S~ V131WL_Painless I did head-on after head-on... it helped that the bomber's flew straight 90-180-270 headings so it was relatively easy to fly parallel and then turn back into them. On almost all passes I'd get at least a fuel leak or an engine smoking- I only killed the last one outright (engine fire + boom) all the others crashed on landing. I didn't take much damage doing the head-ons, only towards the end did my engine suffer as a result of parking on the last bombers 6. I changed my gun convergence to 100m as I typically opened up at about 70 m out. I can send you the track if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yea, you did head ons and served them with cease and disist writs as you went by no doubt. Lousy cheating lawyers... :x Well done by the way...smart flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleTap Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Congrats, Coldie, I tried a bunch of times, and I think the most I downed was 3. While flying it, I figured that the only way to do it was with extreme patience, an attribute I sorely lack. I will give it one more shot and then try it with the P-40, although judging by my ability to B and Z Japanese planes, that may not help much... :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonar Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I got two down, they sort of landed though. I don't think I have seen any fire except the stuff comming from my plane. I put 50 rounds in the cockpit and they didn't even flintch! BB proof glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Interesting, VT- I tried to get the cockpit for a PK on each of my passes but most (all?) of my kills came from destroying the engines. Hm..... On the other hand, it is kindof difficult (without doing the arcade=1 setting) to know if the bullets are actually going in the 'pit, given that the 8 .303s sort of "shotgun" in a general area. Doing this mission in the Spit after the Hurri is FUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonar Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I was exagerating a bit of course, I just rmember flying through the swarm and was amazed when I almost smashed head on that I could pieces fleying off the front and thinking " That got him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted April 26, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 26, 2006 ~S~ Chaps Mr frustrated from England here !! Got 7 to crash and the last one smoking and full of holes. Used the Spit on limited but can't bloody prove it cos the track wouldn't save !!! AHHHHHH. Also I've noticed that if you miss a few of the Heinkels and land, they fly to the last wey point and just circle........ forever !! lol . A couple of times, two or three smoking and with one engine do this at the end for 20 mins on 8x speed !!?? Is that supposed to happen or are they meant to crash on landing ? Confused, (easily done) , Painless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused, (easily done) , Painless. the hes will circle the last way point until they run out of fuel - which will take some time so the idea is to nail them before this happens- :wink: - ignore the mission completed message this doesnt count - only the time to down all 8 It is best to assign a key to record a track in the game - this will record as a ntrk file and is better than trying to record afterwards- I use shift+t to record- you will need to assign this under controls-under quick start/save track key- it gets saved as quick0001.ntrk etc hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 OK M8's, I will bw sending Dave my submission for Mission 4... I used the Spit on LIMITED ammo.
