BoB II - Bad weather dogfighting

[SUBMAN1]

One thing that you hear mentioned about BoB II - the weather! Few other sims capture bad weather like BoB II. This is a Dogfight I engaged in tonight, and it should give a good idea how bad the weather really can get. Its raining hard, and its not much fun dogfighting since it almost translates into a game of simple survival for yourself.

I'm doing my best to keep sight of him through these clouds, and its a terrible chore:


I'm starting to loose not only him, but which way is up too:


He is starting to disappear into the clouds:


He's found a deep one:


Trying to get a good burst into him in this muck:


He is there, you can see him, but one thing I've compltely lost - which way is up! Doesn't matter, I riddle him with lead:



I got him, but things are not good for me. Airspeed is gone and I still have no idea on my attitude. WWII instruments suck. Problem - he is pulling away, though he is smoking. I need to readjust myself somehow:


Pulling out of this ugly cloud bank, though my enemy has managed to pull away due to my disorientation. Still heavy rain:


Closing the gap:


Pulling in for the kill:
