Slightly annoyed

[Pike Bishop]

Dear All,

Had an amazing dogfight in the campaign this week.

Whilst on our way in SE5A's to attack a railway yard, my wingman and I ran into (I think) 6 Pfaltz's.

My wingman got one before being shot down himself, leaving me against 5. I must have spent at least 45 mins fighting for my life and would you know it.....I managed to bring all of them down and actually survive!!

When I got back to base I found that I had been promoted from Captain to Major with a medal.

After the next mission I was told that because of lack of visual confirmation I would not be awarded my 5 claims.

But I am still a Major. Bloody Bishop got away with it so why could'nt I?

Now I have been captured and am spending the rest of the war in captivity!

Best regards,

Pike.

P.S.....I am still running XP64 with no computer crashes for 4 weeks now.

Well, they had to do it somehow; you had no witnesses, that's it.

But maybe you can switch over to "claims easy (something)" in workshop, and may get them all confirmed then (next time).

Hello,

yes i just had some unbelievable fight myself - i would not shake them off, ran out of ammunition and finally out of fuel lol. This was so intense, it was really enough for the day

 

I take it you will not be credited with "kills" if being shot down and dead, or captured - maybe this should be changed ? Anyway you got at least a promotion sent to your POW camp !

 

Thanks and greetings,

Catfish

Hi, Wels

If you're captured, but manage to escape, you get the kills! I had that twice now; after the escape notice,

I got the claim form to fill in.

I'm glad somehow, that you also feel exhausted after just one serious fight. I have that quite often.
