That wouldn't work very well against a human pilot. It's a good trick against the AI and works with almost any aircraft against any other aircraft, but try it against a half-decent human pilot and all you get is your arse full of lead

Same with horizontal scissors or just plain turning tight. Works every time against the AI.

Were those btw Ki-27s we fought?

edit:

Muahaha, good pic

I think the Jap squadrons have Ki-43s in the campaign

Nice pic
We got Ki-43s and Ki-27s.

The modded executable should remove the need for a CD

Vista has been known not to work with several copy protections

Hunter or Kratos will give it ya over Teamspeak when you're setting up for flight. They might even give it in English

*I'd written a nice long article here and then missed the tab bar and hit Google News instead, thus losing the whole lot So instead, a quick summary with pictures.*

Mission One:

Fin, Kratos, Xabba in Buffalos
Hunter, Oberon in Blenheims
Task Force, Dowly in random Japanese sniper planes.

Xabba was hit by Dowly (I believe), whilst Kratos was blue on blued by Fin, Task Force was disintergrated by AAA while Fin suffered a connection fault.
Hunter and Oberon completed their bombing runs, hitting pretty much nothing except the odd field mouse and ant hills and RTB'd, Oberon took a few hits in the port engine and had to shut it down. Dowly was then headbutted with an AA shell and exploded.
Hunter RTB'd while Oberon limped back with one engine. The RAF AI then decided to pick on Oberon and ganged up on him, with three Blennies following him ('Me love you long tiiime!'), a harsh word from Hunter soon sent them scurrying back to the bomber base, while Oberon, for the sake of game speed, made a Carrier style approach and landing at the fighter airbase.

Mission Two:

Oh boy

Hunter, Kratos and Oberon took the Buffalos and a death wish
Everyone else took Jap planes (only three Buffies vs the entire IJAF) with Dowly and Task Force getting their precious Zeros back.
Hunter, Kratos and Oberon retired to their own Teamspeak Channel, but Xabba thoughtfully gave hints over the text channel which indicated whether the squadron had been spotted yet.
Hunter went first and high, Kratos went low and Oberon went last and kinda somewhere in the middle. The AAA from the airbase which seemed to be partly in Japanese hands and partly in Brit hands, started up, so Hunter steered for it and got insta-ferreted. Kratos soon fell the same way, and Oberon, after having the ferret in his sights for a couple of seconds, then lost him and his life in approximately ten seconds.
There was a mission three, but Oberon left at that point to write this and then go to bed, but not after writing to the MOD asking for an undercover mission to the IJAF with an Me262 to cause untold havoc and chaos on a scale which would dwarf both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Pictures:



The AI has been learning far too much from Hunter and Dowly...



Ouch...

Tee hee hee, sucker tried to shoot me down.


As for the 3rd sortie, Hunter changed campaign to Leningrad. I flew as #1 of the 1st 109F2 squadron, engaged a bunch of I16's, bagged one. Then got invited by Hunter, TF & Fincuan to hunt them (they were in some floatplane), got bounced by an VVS fighter, bailed and was shot down by the mighty three. So, dont bail out near me if you are red, I shoot you. I kid you not.
