I believe the line from the film was something like-

'We gonna **** you up the ***'


.........and so they did 2-0. :lol:





If you can host Gen I will send a copy of the match and maybe post some comments when I get home.

I think it would be good for folks to see just how 'loose duce' good teamwork is.

In the end they were just too good, no shame in that. The Russian =FB= squad are probally the best dogfighting squad there is. They might well have both finalists again, they have three teams here.
However we did fine for our second ever competition match. Frankly they were rather fortunate with 2 smoking planes to win the first but they found a PK with the Ki-61-ko peashooters and that was that. So they changed tactics in the second match and we could not.
On dogfighting skills we are fine but tactically we have a lot to learn. Now we have two FI DF teams this can only get better. 8)

In summary it was great experience and really exciting stuff.

Have to be when I get home Gen.... I'm working Image

If any other chaps fancy joining in to try the DF competition experience we have the map, planeset and skins and could try it within the FI. Its a brilliant way to learn teamwork. And the more experienced can pass on advice etc. Maybe those AI on Sunday will be in for a shock :badgrin:

Unlucky guys :(

You'll maul them next time...and if not....well...Frank and I can be the reserve team ;)

Seriously though, to get PK'ed is really unlucky but i'm sure you'll build on it and you'll both be shooting us down quicker than ever with your new tactics :)
