QMB Okinawa
4@4FU (me) plus 4@6F6 vs 4@Bettys plus 4@Zeros
No commands given at merge.
I lead the flight head on at the Betty's.
The Hellcats turned to engage the Zeros.
None of the Corsairs opened fire except me at the head on pass.
The Zeros were aggressive at the merge and the lead Hellcat and Zero had a midair.
I continued to engage the Betty's while the Hellcats engaged the Zeros. No Corsairs engaged but stayed high and followed above me as I continued to press the attack from six. Finally I gave the command to engage bombers and watched the number three roll over and attack the second last Betty in line. (The last one was already on fire.) Not until #3 had hits and peeled off did the #4 roll in and start attacking the lead bomber.
The Hellcats got all the Zeros.
Looks like some tweaking is still required.
Lots of fun!
