Boom

A flak shot tears into my Il-2's tail ripping it off...

And the IL-2 I'd flown for 18 missions smashes into the ground.


Deffinatly thinking about starting up a BF-110 campaign now.
Dont you just love those desperate battles? Yesterday, was flying online, US vs. Japan. I was on a A20, everything went fine in the beginning got to my target by flying very low (~150m), the target was on a hill, so I had my fuse to ignite the bomb 5 sec after the impact. Blew up 4-6 tanks with the bomb, turned back home. Half way down the trip home I got jumped by a lone Zero, scored a few hits to him with my tailgun and he left. The Zero obviously had told the rest of his team, that there was an lone bomber in their area and 3mins later I was chased by 5-6 enemy planes. I hit the deck and pushed everything I got from the engines.

At one point, one of my team's P40 came in to help, but was shot down in under a minute. The odds were stacking quickly against me as I lost my tailgunner. Now, with no defense cababilities, I was sure I was dead. Then I saw the most beautiful thing ever; in the chat box it read "Blue side has won the round. Loading next map in 10 seconds.". So, I was saved by the bell.

Gotta go and crap a vid or a screenshot of it.
