Close flying LaGG3 in my I-16

I was flying at that time, I wondered what the results were Is it just me or you guys collided a couple of minutes later? It was fun to follow the chat.

 

Meanwhile I was paying a visit to Hans, Fritz and Adolf, going around and behind the Luftwaffe airbases looking out for unsuspecting pairs or stragglers climbing out and cruising to the front lines but no joy, except for some quirky fellow who I saw climbing out with lights on but way within the airbase's perimeter. I decided not to spoil his day, and even if I tried the flak would have ripped me to shreds anyway. After touring the cruising lanes for all three Luftwaffe airbases and enjoying the nice weather over there I got tired and risked the beeline from the major one to the front, burning my altitude for speed and making a neat 550km/h on my La-5 at 1000m. Pass our boats, no action... Pass the enemy's bridge, no action and no bombs to do it in either... Then as I set course home I see a contact, shrouded by flak, CoAlt, leaking fuel and slow. It's a Stuka, of course! Eagerly I turn towards it and give it a lazy chase, but I'm tired, too tired. I move slowly, carelessly, taking potshots at the Stuka that's at treetop height, overshooting and rolling all over the place with little thought or consequence. Eventually what I think were his gunner hits me a couple of times and I'm rattled, but only a tank was pierced. I screw up another ill-advised roll and before I know it I hit the ground hard, surprised I didn't explode though I am heavily wounded. The Stuka flew away with huge holes in its wings, and through my red-tinted eyes I see the Stuka, then a 109 and finally a Yak-1 fly over the trees. A camp it is, then. Disappointing performance myself, but you guys and other Soviet assets made it fun. There were enough false alarms and merges including a Pe-2 who came unloaded towards a pair of Yaks who nearly engaged me and vice-versa. One twin-engined twin-tailed aircraft flying at 3.000 and acting aggressively warranted me to call out "Yak pair, 110 behind you!"

I took some screens, then we went to dive-bomb the river crossing, after diving I came up and to the right, and he came up and to the left.....

It was hilarious!
