I've seeing many of you talking about great battles, and I will register here one that I stil remember. It was a week or more ago, don't remember who was on it (not famous aces, but good average players). It was a bomb the base mission, me and an aspirant against six middle-ranking players, two of them with higher rank than mine.
I got destroyed several times trying the straight path. As you already know, my rank is a "lie", because I don't have good head on skills, and chasing is even worse. And while I was trying to get through that red storm, I had to teach my teammate how to parachute and use the tank. Tough work, typing and being shot...
Reds managed to destroy six hangars, and we didn't even see their base, when I changed my position in the seat, turned off the lights at my room, drunk a little zero-sugar guaraná, and said: lets bomb!
So, I gave up trying to hit red planes, and told my teammate to flank. Suddenly, they decided to chase our planes instead of finishing the game - a bad decision, of course... They tried to split in two groups, chasing each of us at the same time. Then I flied high, doing loops, flying like a dizzy bug, and managed to bomb their base twice, three hangars on each row (of course not in the same trip... duh!). Then I saw that, after being shot many times, my teammate was tanking, near red base, and being hardly chased. I decided to giver him cover, and that was my best sequence of kills I ever had in DF: during two or three minutes, I brought down four or five reds many times each, and my teammate managed to destroy one of the last hangars! I witnessed him going for the last one, and while I was preparing to yell for what would be a heroic victory, they suddenly won (I was fearing that, because I was fighting only four or five reds - one was "disapeared" - he surely put an end on that session)...

That was so close! But that was the best minutes I spent on this game!
Shame I can't remember who was red or who was my teammate (he was one of these guys that uses silly numbered-strange-char-names).
If you, strange-named-one, is reading this, and remember that fight, please identify yourself. I will give you a medal - and a karma point.
