Indianajon Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 So, like many, since the new flak, damage and map options, I have decided to work back through the various Spitfire campaigns ending with this one. Today I went up for the second mission, a large fighter sweep against Richoffen's lot. We hit the merge, aircraft everywhere with me quickly sliding to the rear of a 190. I gave chase but after several seconds I broke off, more concerned with staying alive and turning into a second aircraft I wasn't aware was lining up to shoot. After a brief 2 circle with him he went vertical and I got a no deflection shot at almost point-blank range. The first hit must have hit the fuel tank or something as I was blinded flying through a fireball. Rolling to the left I could see flames already pouring from underneath the stricken 190 and I pulled back into a tight circle looking for the next target. After several unsuccessful encounters I got onto the tail of 3 aircraft. The lead a 190, the other 2 spits. One managed to clip him and he started spitting oil. The FW slowed and pulled left making the spits overshoot and putting me in a perfect position. Half a second late, he two was flaming and as I broke off i spotted another 190 diving towards me. I turned into him, spoiling his shot and as we passed he dived away. A snap roll and I was diving after him. Catching up as he started to pull out of the dive I got a good second burst the nose to stern, right through centre mass. He again started to dive and piled straight in. By this time I was low, fast and unable to see anyone else. Deciding I had already used up much of my luck I pointed my nose for home and hedge hopped to the coast before climbing back up to about 10,000 and getting the engine into a more economic state. The channel never felt so big and I was registering just under 10 gallons when the Isle of White came into view. Landing back on fumes I had that feeling of wow! This is what I have read about! This is as close as I can get to what they went through! The kills I could imagine seeing in the old camera footage. This is why I love DCS. This is why I love the campaigns Reflected makes and I just wanted to share. I know it's just a game, I know it's not real but, right now, it feels a memorable sortie and in my other reality, the pixilated one, I'm already in the mess and buying the first round of the night. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Thanks so much for sharing this, such reports make me really happy mind if I share it on Instagram and Facebook? you’ll really enjoy Beware! Beware!, most of the missions are large scale rodeos and circuses over northern France During testing, I often got back to Biggin Hill with less than 5 gallons...
