Enforcer's HH sat debriefing-one epic dogfight-screens.

[Enforcer57]

OK, if I get anybody misidentified, just correct me-I was kinda busy getting my

ass handed to me on a platter to take totally adequate notes most of the night.

As usual, the combat was enough to make a Klingon horny, but this fight goes

to show that there may be a few ringers amongst us (as well as some pretty good

evasive tactics).

There we were in our Gustavs, some of us a bit overloaded with preselected

armament of a mk108 (cool) and a pair of 20mm pods (a bit heavy), trying

to protect the Panzer guys from these marauding P-47s commanded by our

illustrious CO, Col Beebob. After an intense chase in which both seem to ignore

gravity, Zeus Cat blasts his prey with cannon. Not even the Jug can handle this.

Kaboom!

Meanwhile, back at the batcave, I am cursing my machine's slowed climbing ability

as it seems everyone else has afterburners. I'm totally oblivious to a pass Quazi

made on me. :shock:

But he deosnt give up that easy. He comes around while Im desperately trying to climb

to the furball above me, making a classic attack directly out of the sun that I never saw-

The MG sound is not exagerated-was about a quarter second deflection shot.

At that point, we both go outta control, as I have no ailerons and he snaprolls while turning

with me. However, we both recover before we dig any holes.

But now the hunter becomes the hunted; Jensenpark locks on to quaz's tail and won't let

go.

Quaz uses the Jugs diving ability and gets a boatload of energy, then converts it into the verticle

to evade Jensenpark. Damn P-47s never climbed like that when I flew them.

JP follows suit and ignites his DBenz, following Quaz into the verticle. What he may not realize

is that there is another P-47 (dunno who) lining up on him.

[Enforcer57]

Everybody seems to stall at once, JP's pursurer at point blank range, but with

no airspeed, he cant bring the jug's eight .50s to bear; they're about 2 meters

apart it appears.

They're so close and slow that they could exchange phone numbers, if they were, uh,

so inclined. All three pilots are just passengers at this point, with little actual control.

Quaz and JP recover nicely and go into a dive, JP still glued to Quaz's

T-bolt. At this point, Quaz pulls another classic move-he dives into a cloud

bank at speed, and just as JP lets him have it, Q pulls up sharply, pulling a few

Gs and probalby getting that tunnel vision thing you get before you pass out.

JP loses him here, but scores a hit with his last burst. Note the smoke trails of

the Gustav's rds.

As he comes out of the clouds, Quaz returns to attacking the German collumns

in the town, but takes a hit for his troubles.

In the meantime, the illustrious Enforcer (me) manages to limp back to his base on

rudder and elevator with a screwed up engine, and ALL his ammo of course.

He never fired a shot, and the irony isnt lost considering all the firepower this machine

has. He bounces all over the runway and veers back and forth, nearly clipping the

tower.

His recovery robs Quaz of a kill, but at least he will still make his date with

Frau Hartely tonight.

And what of Zeus Cat? Well, it appears that he wound up on the wrong end of

somebody else's fifities, which turned his Gustave into a sled. Thus endeth another

rousing fight amongst the hellhounds and their Devil Dogs comrades.

Very cool play-by-play. We should have this debrief more often. Thanks for taking the trouble. Nice shots, too.

[Enforcer57]

What's really eyebrow raising about all this is the fact that Quaz is always bemoaining

what a lousy fighter jock he is......yeah, right.

That deflection snapshot he took on me was the most amazing shot Ive seen in this

sim. Then the tactics he used to foil JP's hostile intentions sure didnt look like a

guy who can't dogfight to me. :idea:

I don't think I would play pool with Q for money.

[B16Enk]

Very nicely done debrief, great read! (And yes you managed to double post again ).

[JensenPark]

Chasing me was of course none other than Sunflower...as usual.

Thought I had Quaz dead there several times. Thought I had hit him twice good with my 30mm - but I guess not.

Good (smart) p47 flying by Clarke and Tim.

Well done. (you bastages ). :x

[Enforcer57]

But how the hell does it post twice.....never mind.

Oh, and why do some callsigns not show up while some do? It would help

me ID the pilots involved if all our names were up there. I had no idea that

was sunflower doing that boom routine with JP.

yep Quazi cunninly disguises his steely killer instincts behind that sloooooooow southern drawl and he can take most planes right to the edge - I wouldnt play pool or poker with him either

Enemy callsigns do not display ever, while friends do.

[Enforcer57]

Well CRAP! How the hell you suppose to target somebody youre gunnin for?

No wonder I couldnt find certain guys in the last few fights I had. sheesh.

That's the lamest thing to come out of Russia since Stalin. :evil:

[Beebop-RIP]

"KABOOM!"

That would be me. Thanks to fellow squadmate Zeus-cat.

Dam 108 gunpods! Who's silly idea was that?

Had a hella good time though.
