Catching swallows online

[Sayan]

Report No. 1

An unexpected encounter, this creature is almost invisible against the background of the earth and in the twilight.

The enemy decided to play with turns...

A couple of short bursts, and the swallow’s beak hits the ground.

I'm guessing this was AI. I've flown the 262 on the online servers and it's pretty much unstoppable unless the pilot makes a mistake. I find the shooting to be difficult because of the closure speed but otherwise it almost feels like cheating. I guess it's the German version of the tempest.

No. it's online, server Letka Orel

Yes, I know as well as you that an experienced swallow pilot will not allow this.
But the key word here is “experienced”))

And again catching swallows

In the entire time of flying on this server, about a year and a half, this is only the 4th victory over jet aircraft.
3 swallows and one Arado. But these swallows pecked me a huge number of times.

The quick guest flew in, defecated with her bombs on airfields and objects, and quickly and quickly flew away to her nest.
But luck cannot be constant.
You can also waylay the aggressor.
He decided to ruin the airfield and escape alive. I thought about twisting the Spitfire on turns.
Naive...
But the swallow pilot seems to be lucky. The right engine caught fire twice, and both times the fire was extinguished.
But in the end, the fish and crabs around Dover were fed that day.

Nice kill! I've found the online servers much more challenging then the AI.

 

I usually kill myself when I'm flying the jet with a tree, or a collision etc.

 

I've managed to get a 262 kill or two but I've noticed like you said they are inexperienced (in the 262) as I've fought the same players in other planes and they did much better.

I don't remember the 234 as I don't recall seeing it much online.

 

Have you flown the 262 much? I've found most planes are not a threat to it once you get a little bit of alt. In my experience you don't need very much.

Online - never.
I am a faithful pilot of the anti-Hitler coalition))  But offline I tested the swallow 2-3 times

Yes. Here, perhaps, the main thing for a swallow pilot is not to get involved in a battle on turns and not to lose speed.

I fly for whatever side has the lower numbers so I have some experience with both.

 

I have found that with the 262 that even with a tempest on my tail that I can escape if I have enough alt to put the nose down. Also I've noticed that the level acceleration seems to get worse the slower you get so if you can't put the nose down, you will end up in a bad way.
