IF any of you are out there, you are missing a helluva run on ROF Wargrounds. I am giving J5 what for, and they are having an all around bad night, and I intend to make it worse .
So if you are available, there is great fun to be had .....

Update : I was in a rush when I made my intial post, here is synopsis of events.
1st Sortie: Decided to fly a DH4, instead of my usual recon flight. Flew to the tank factory, and headed across the mud. I was tank hunting. When I got 2/3 of the way across, spotted the tanks, at the trenches, all bunched up. I knew I could kill them with one of the 2 230 pounders, so started looking for ToO (target of opportunity ) and here he comes, a Halberstat bomber. So I pickle 1 on the tanks, sure enough - tank platoon destroyed.
I immediately broke hard right, to turn in behind the bandit. His AI gunner werent too smart, because he never opened fire, and I could not have been more than 200 meters behind him when I pulled in on his 6. I closed to within about 150 meters and opened up, he immediately started leaking fuel, and took several more solid hits to his AC. He broke hard left to avoid any more rounds. I decided that I had to have hit him really hard, and just nosed down and headed for home. He turned in behind me to give chase, but there was no way he was going to catch my DH4. A few seconds more and the message popped up that I had shot him down.
2nd Sortie : Took off in a DH4 again, headed for their train. On the way there, I decided to hit the FLAK gun at their AP factory while I was in the neighborhood. Approached from the NW, no train in sight, so I turned in on the AP factory, specifically the FLAK gun, pickled 1 112 pouder, dead FLAK gun, then I saw that I had the plane at the factory dead off my nose, pickle 2, destroyed airplane, then I broke left, taking evasive action, and turned east to find the train.
After just about a Km, I found the train, coming out of the forest. I pickled the remaing 2 bombs and killed all of the train but the engine and coal-tendar.
So I turned back, opened up with all the guns of the DH4, and both the tendar and the engine went up. I flew home and landed.
And all the while this was going on, J5 was getting killed, crashing, shotdown, etc ..... Not to mention me giving J5 Karl Lappenow a really bad to start to his evening, he was my Halbertadt bomber kill from the 1st sortie.
That is when I came to the forums and posted. Finished the last few flights. The last one I got shotdown by another DH4, that's right, a teamkiller. The gunner was RedBaronPL, who got a 1 week ban later by NW staff, and his pilot, Klaus Mann. NW staff is trying to deteremine whether or not to ban him as well. As I put it to them, together the 2 of them shot down 2 different AC, so there is no way that Klaus Mann did not know what was going on.
Anyway, besides having to deal with the grievers/ teamkillers, it was great fun, and a couple of the most exciting and succesful sorties I have ever got to fly. Not as many points as some I have flown. But all toll, 3 tanks, 1 Halbie bombers, flown by a player, a FLAK gun, an AC parked at the AP factory, and an entire train. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. But most importantly, it was a blast.
Sorry ya'll missed it.
Now that my supper has settled, back to ROF,
