    On the other hand, I played a good game. The shooting star was shot down quick as he went low, the entire enemy team was Mig9s and 1 LA. They all went bomber hunting, shooting down all except 2 b17s before I climbed to enough altitude to feel comfortable attacking a bunch of jets in a prop plane. Then I dove down on a couple migs chasing 2 b17s. The other was shot down before I got low enough, but I nailed one Mig9 when he was pulling a straightline after a strafing run on the bomber. I pulled up to get some alt and the last bomber got nailed.

    So I'm all alone vs 4 Mig9s (the LA and a few others had been shot down by bombers) and I'm low on alt and not much on speed. The Mig9s, then, collectively do the stupidest thing they can do in this situation. They stay low, and proceed to individually do head on passes with me.

    I have a cannon bearcat.

    3 of them are shot down one by one with myself getting minimal damage. The 4th gets a little smarter, pulls up and out to gain distance. He does a few passes toward me still at the same alt (stupid, he should've gone for alt and dove on me) but avoids firing and my shots. One more pass, he fires, I fire, I clip him but no real damage, he crits me and then collides into my wing ripping it off, he doesn't have major damage so he wins the round.

    So, 1 on 5 with me in a prop vs jets, I shoot down 4/5 and damage the last.
