Synopsis:

Warning: Drunken rant ahead!
I don't care if my CO busts me back to Tyro,
this typing as it happened crap would be a sad story without the video!

What I experienced:

Climbed out of, (aw fuck, I can;t remember...)
Might have been Nacho.
hell bent on a max climb to 20k to intercept Bombers.
Ditched the beers, lost weight, climbed to 20k in my shortest time ever,
but was in a bad (terrible) position of being alone, & underneath
10+ Do215s with no smash whatsoever.

Did the best that I could, & I claim 2 Do215s.
The one that I set fire to, & the other one I didn't know about til the video.

1st, I got a weapon damaged report,
& after that, I did not get any damage reports whatsoever...
But I could not control my plane, up/down left/right,
the only control I had was ailerons. (yay, I could flit like a butterfly, big whoop...)
What really pissed me off, was that in previous lack of control situations
I could use my trim tabs to effect at least some kind of control,
today - Nothing!

I desperately tried to steer my unresponsive plane in the Thames to avoid casualties,
but it was useless, & I bailed at the last sec as my plane blew up some old ladies tea...

Next Sortie, TWC_Hoss was lamenting how the Stukas are not realistic because they go Batshit crazy if you shoot at them, & I was lamenting that I stopped one bomber but killed an old lady,
(see 7/23/20b)

& today,I finally saw the video!

See Wrecking Ball Theater 7/23/20aWTF
or YouTube

to see why I no longer feel I was responsible for killing an old lady during afternoon tea...
