Even after flying IL-2, PF, & 1946 for over ten years I am still doing and seeing unexpected things.

Double Tap


I should know better and I was darn lucky to get this one since I was not running an ntrk when I flew the mission. I had to hope the regular .trk function would still play it correctly. Outside view is the only way you can see everything but I was not flying the mission in this manner. Heck in cockpit mode I had no clue I had hit both of them and I was looking everywhere for plane Number 1 when I got the second "Enemy Aircraft Destroyed" message.

Skin on the P-38 was done by mapal.

Nice deflection shooting, even if you had only got the one!

Thanks but it was mainly dumb luck. Like I said I knew I had nailed plane number two pretty heavily but it completely shocked me when I got the second "Enemy Aircraft Destroyed" message. The first message was for plane number one but I thought it was for plane number two so I was busy looking all over the place for plane number one expecting to find him on my tail when I got the second message.

I think I did something similar in an online tussle with some 190's last night in my Tiffy after an initial head-on merge.
Got an 'enemy aircraft destroyed' message about 5 minutes after the encounter, and I was only shooting at one plane which immediately exploded I recall.
