I must be having a brain tremor!
I was flying a patrol, in my Red and Black DVII just now....when I spotted two SE5a's flying parallel with me..but at least 2,000 feet below....and with a maniacal disregard for my campaign pilot...I dove on them at full speed......my wires were whistling...and the airframe creaking terribly....my speed increasing all the time...I had the fixed grin of a killer on my face....as I screamed upon the hapless Doves with my black-hawk!
Their direction never faltered...they hadn't even seen me coming...but I saw them alright!...growing larger and larger in my gunsight...the first now easily within range...I let my Spandaus do their grisly work!...at suicidaly point blank range!...I could'nt of had more than 1.5 seconds of fire....but as I swooped past him, still almost vertical..I heard him scream....I pulled back on my joystick so f*cking hard....I yanked it clean off the table!!! ............pulling up just before buying the farm..I smacked it hard back onto the desk...applied full right rudder....and to my astonishment....his wingman was square in my sights.....I instinctively fired....and heard him scream too, as I swooped past!....I swear, at that moment...I felt I had killed two REAL people!...I was sweating like hell.......god almighty....There is nothing in the world like OFF on a good day....I headed straight back to base...trembling like a noob!.....I even saw a British Recon patrol...but my nerves were shot to sh*t.....I let them be!...Damn..I need a coffee!....bye for now
