Played a 2 vs. 2 with my gaming buddies yesterday.
Thre pilots and 4 planes. I took the command of two planes and let them choose the side.
They choosed the P-51D and the Spitfire MK.IX ...

The planes looked amazing on the Ares Games gaming mats! :thumbsup:
We started in front of each other at altitude 4.

I tried to balance the slower top speed of the KI-84 with my FW and the moment we had or first encounter the KI-84 made a sharp sideslip to the right to group tight with the Langnase.
The Allies split up and flew an attack maneuver that brought them togher again in striking distance.
Good maneuver and I'm shure if I split up too, they would have hit one of my planes alone.
FW and Spit were able to shot at each other at close distance. My FW catched a B4*/C0/C0 the Spit C0/C0/C0.:mad:
*Rudder right
(Damn, that's what Jager said: The B damage makes the day. :erk:)
Immelmans followed, but only by the Axis and the Mustang. The P51-D had a good timing and was one movement faster. My Dora catched B3/B0/B4 from the P-51D.
They wanted the German down first. :erk:
But when the Mustang made it's slow straigth it was hit by two close range shots of the KI-84 and the FW B7/C0/C6 and C5*/C3**/C6. The party was over.
*Pilot, ** Rudder left
But the brave US-Pilot finished off the FW too with a B3*/B3**/B6 and an A0 for aimimg.
*Fire, **Engine
I think you could imagine what was leftover from both planes when the fell out of the sky.;)
The following duel between the KI-84 and the Spit was interesting.
Both planes have a climb rate of 2 and especially the Spit prooved it's good curve fight abilities with the extra fast & sharp curve maneuvers it has.
An nice dance with beautiful planes and a few times we fooled each other with changing the altitude in the last minute to aviod hits. :)

A dozend moves later we decided to bring in the P-51D and the FW190D again from the edge of the sides.
The Allied had an advantage because the Mustang had only 60% of the distance to the combat action then the FW.
Now I demontrated that WGS dogfight isn't always a first clash followed by Immelmanns and Split-S until the enemy falls from the sky. ;)
The KI-84 kept calm, finished a slow curve and the following stall maneuver brought me in front of the Mustang that has curved in for a position where my Jap plane would have been after an Immelmann to chase the Spitfire. I fired at him, he wasn't able to return fire. :thumbsup:
The Mustang catched a long range C/A and was a little bit angry now.
The moment the P-51D turned around, my fast FW was with a fats, normal sideslip in range and gave the US-plane another B/C in the six.
The duel was decided when the KI-84 catched a burst from the P-51D and survived it with 16 damage points:eek: (C3/A0 from the Spit - B5/A1 from the Mustang B1/B2/B3 & aim bonus A1*Rudder from the Mustang, too). So I had the chance to make an Immelman with the KI-84 and stroke the P-51D with a last short distance shot, that finished it's sortie.

Again the Mustang doomed his enemy too and shared out a B2/B6/B3 that raised the Jap's damage points to 27.
The FW-190 D-13 finished the job in a head-on-duel.
The Spit catched C3/C5/C0 and C3*/C8/C0 *smoke additional to an damage of A1 - from a wrong maneuver - and the 3xC0 it had from the first encounter.
It dealt out B0/C3/C0 to the FW.

Result:
The new WGS series V planes proved their deadliness.
It was fun to fly those beauties and on two gaming mats there was enough space to fly every maneuvers.
They are fast, so no medium bomber will escape you anymore after it released the bombs.
The KI-84 and the Spifire MK.IV used their incredible climb rate and the advantage of the Spit's extra curves. Just remember that those curves are steep. The Spit's pilot wanted to make large sideslip (steep) after such a steep special curve and was punished with an A-damage token and a straigh maneuver instead. :cheezy:
For shure the B-damage tokens make more steady damage then the C-damage tokens, but the number of damage points is equal in each set.
When flying with the four new planes, naturally more C-damage tokens were dealt out, so the Axis had better chances at the end of the battle (remember the first 3xC0 damage the Spit get :hmm:).
I'm shure, the moment when two or more Mustangs are in play, the B-damage deck favours the Allies.
If you don't like stuff like the Dewoitine D.520, Reggiane Re.2001 Falco II or the Last Biplanes, those late war planes should convince you to give WGS a try. :salute:
