P-38L vs Me-109 (unknown model)

Server: Warclouds (closed-cockpit server)
Game: Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 (Patch 4.09), UltraPack Mod v2.01
Video recorded with Fraps and processed / joined with VirtualDub.

After a hiatus of about half a year, I've bought me a new joystick (the old one was thoroughly worn out) and returned to Il-2 this week. And for once, I have an actual victory to show!! Yes, wonders never cease. ;-)

Patrolling over the front line in my trusty old P-38, I stumble across a blue 109 and decide to engage it. Although the 109 initially had a small but comfortable altitude advantage, its pilot decided to get into a turn fight with me anyway, which normally works for them ... but not this time! :D
Despite making several mistakes (I should have been dead at least once) and obviously being one of the worst shots on the planet, I actually end up winning the fight. :)

The best thing is, after the events you see in this video, I got attacked by another 190 as I was preparing to land. He damaged my right engine but I managed to shoot him down and kill another 109 before ditching at my airfield. After weeks and weeks of flying with nothing but defeats to show for it, that's 4 landed kills in a single sortie - which may be nothing to some of the hotshot pilots out there but to me is like Xmas and easter in one. :-D

I might actually upload the 2nd part of this later this week.

Crap, I guess the video quality is a bit on the low end of the scale. VirtualDub seems to have compressed the thing a bit too much. :-\

Youtube is trolling me! Video playing great, get to 2:25, stop for buffering.
