Jeez what a battle!

We flew an intercept, with Roller and I in Doras, and Ralf in a 109G.
Dumo decided to escort the bombers in a Spit 9



The upshot was that Roller and I managed to shoot down most of the Liberators, thanks to respawn being on. However, eventually we ran out of planes and could only watch an incredible duel between Dumo and Ralf on F9 as the sun set in the West.

I thought this was Ralf but the plane Dumo destroyed here was one of Ralf's AIs....


..a few seconds later Ralf got Dumo


The battle went on for ages, Ralf's plane was damaged and he went to base- a smart move. Dumo followed him, but Ralf's base was very heavily defended by light AAA. Try as he might to take them out, Dumo's planes were destroyed by it, and eventually he could not respawn.

It was great entertainment on F9. Great flying guys!

I got great pleasure in watching Ralf and Gus duel!
Ralf's G was faster, but Gus's spit could turn better......
Ralf's choices in manuevering were excellent......and Gus knows
how to keep the enemy in front of him....
I was amazed to see Ralf split-S and just miss being a lawn-dart
by inches....same with Gus as he followed......Gus would manage to
get a few shots off while Ralf was trying to extend, but then Ralf
would go vertical.......so would Gus......but Ralf could stay just
far enough away because of the better speed, and hang up there....Gus
would have to put his nose down and turn away......that's when Ralf
would drop down and take some shots.....If Gus managed to avoid, Ralf
would overshoot and extend away.......
But the best part was when Gus finally got a good speed and height advantage...
he was getting some good pings on Ralf and gaining on him.......but Ralf
was flying directly towards his airbase......just as Gus was about to finish him,
the base AA blew Gus out of the sky! He re-spawned and tried to take out the base guns
but they got him again while Ralf managed to land, then take-off in a fresh plane.
This was over 30 minutes of action that I watched with F9. I truly wish I could
have recorded it! (I might have actually learned how to fly with a recording of
these guys!%^) Excellent pilots and a real pleasure to watch.....

Jel, I'm sorry I wasted all of the AI planes and didn't leave you anything to respawn
in.

Well, (in my best Swartzenagger accent)"I'll be back!"
