SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - Needed: Pat Wilson's RoF Campaign Generator 10.3

Well, the first mission was a blast. :DL

Flight of 4 Albatros DV.a's (us) patrolled the front, got jumped by 4 Sopwith Pups.
Was wounded early in the fight and headed back over to our side and landed
to some field just behind the line. Shut off the engine and was about to switch
to external to see how the rest of the flight was doing when I happened to glance
back and saw the Sopwith Pup that wounded me diving down towards my plane.

He let out a short burst which missed, fortunately. Almost pushed the 'finish flight'
button, then I saw the SP wasn't flying very aggressively and was just sort of
gliding around me in a wide circle. Cranked up the engine and took off as the SP
had it's tail turned towards me. Got to it's tail quickly and a sloooooow very low level
dogfight ensued. I was firmly on his arse and saw his plane was already smoking
quite badly, so I had him pretty well at this point.

Out of nowhere, an MG opens up and catch a glimpse of another Sopwith Pup
passing me by the tail: his wingman I presume. I abandoned the chase of the
damaged Pup and pulled a split-s, gaining the altitude advantage over the
newly discovered enemy. Dived on him and flamed his engine on the first pass.

The damaged Pup wasn't as badly damaged as I had thought, as now it was
on my tail firing away with his MG. Dived to the deck and pulled a hard climbing
turn, rolled over as he passed beneath and dived back in to his six. Again, the
first pass did it's job and the Pup's engine died and I watched him land near
a forest. My fuel line had taken some hits so I decided to land the plane to
a nearby field and call it a day.

Fighting two Sopwith Pups whilst wounded was quite interesting. :yep:
