Guess you only have to get half way home for a safe ditch now. I did the same thing when I flamed a spit chasing Noflyz, assumed he was done, then watched him ditch safely mid channel, no kill. So you can't let those smokers or flamers ditch anymore...
That may have been me Oskar. I didn't hear anything other than a boom and my engine was on fire. I looked back and only saw friendlies behind me. I got no check six, heard no pings, so I thought maybe it was either friendly fire or some weird glitch. Ditching without anything in the buffer afterwards made me scratch my head on the whole thing.
If so, nice shot.
btw there was a nice chap in a PBY with a bottle of scotch to greet me as I was bobbing up in down in the ocean.[/quote]
<S> Swanee, nice ditch.
Yeah, we were in a rolling retreat. I saw you and 3 or 4 friends locked on to Noflyz under me. I came down dropped a notch of flaps and sped by a couple spits to shoot at the closest spit to Noflyz. With all the tracers it was hard to tell who was shooting at who. A couple pings and I saw your engine flame, so I just kept running North praying I had enough speed to lose your friends.
Frame was a couple hours of boredom followed by 5 minutes of madness
Thanks for the video all.
