Hi all....!
This has probably been mentioned already so sorry in advance.
TMO for 1.4 and RSRD mod installed.
Blub blubbed a Chitose seaplane tender north of Luzon and 14000+ freighters south of Formosa.
Because of limited air I need to surface periodically.
I've been jumped a good few times by H8K's and survived....crash dive.
Thing is H8K's are fairly accurate and scared a couple times. 've treid to take one on and don't intend to either.
However, every time I get jumped by a G4M Betty I swear it has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I'll get an aircraft alert > Instigate a crash dive > I'll see the offending airspace intruder > then watch as he zooms in for the kill, he unloads his delivery of death, they miss completely, he gets caught in the blast of his own bombs/DC's and starts to do this bizarre cartwheeling on the spot.
Then after that the Betty hits the water and floats a bit then explodes.
All the while that the aerobatics are going on his dorsall gunner is emptying his magazine in a big 'not hitting a barn door' circle.
The first time this happened, I thought oooooh unlucky airmen, they missed a big S-Type sitting duck and probably thought suicide by bomb blast rather than face the wrath authority.
But this has happened eveytime a Betty vectors in on me....it's hilarious.
Memo to self, H8K dive! dive! dive! Betty hang around for some mid misssion light entertainment.
I don't get the 'downing Betty' credit....doh!
I got an alert just a moment a go I should've e screenied it for a laugh!
Anybody had this issue and would like to share?
Cheers
