Obviouslty not a screenshot, just a pretty (if unrealistic) wallpaper that I found.

ah, thats how a plane in brit markings should look, except it needs a bit more holes

My first victory in a P51 using B&Z tactics.

Enemy approaching:



Let's zooooooooom:



On top of him:


Only light damage was done so here we go up again:




Got behind him and gave him what he deserved:




Up again, but he was so badly damaged that he tried to escape:




Closing in for the kill:






Flying straight and level is usually not a good idea:




Back home safe and sound. Another glorious victory by Schroeder against an outdated average AI.



So, now I need to practise that a little more and see how good that is against human opponents.

There you go. Aren't you already starting to love the 51? An excellent b&z machine

One thing I especially love about it is cockpit visibility. I tried the same kind of method in a 190D9, and although it's doable it's much more difficult because the enemy disappears under the nose when diving. Your only option is to dive to his deep six and engage from there, while with the 51 you can go straight for the enemy and those nice deflection shots from above. The P-47 is quite similar, but not as good in climbs as the 51. Fighting like that you'll have no problem with the AI, but I don't have much experience against humans either.

Try that in an older version of the P51.

*EDIT*
O.K. I think I misunderstood you. You mean being able to do descend deflective shooting. That works as well in the older ones (just tried it).
Yeah, that's awful in all FW190. From what I hear this is because Oleg put the gunsight to low in the cockpits. In real life they were higher (as I said, from what I hear...).

A couple of shots from our "Jet fun" evening:

Raptor's bunnyhopping Ta-183


Hunter checking how wide the Chinese gates really are...


... and then coming in for landing


Looking good so far. He actually made it through without hitting the gates but nosed over at the end


Someone ejecting from the Lerche


A Lerche about to hit the ground, while a B-29 is diving vertically in the background

March 1st, 1946 - Y-Day:

A group of G4M2e Betty Bombers have spotted the USS Casablanca covering the Coronet landings in Honshū, Ohkas are launched to sink the escort carrier:







I had a really good pic of the Ohkas slamming into the carrier, but I lost it, might post it later
