The Curtiss Hawk III was a gift play given to players over the 2014 New Years holiday. It was also a clear indication that a Chinese tech tree would be added. For some reason the matchmaker only paired me up with a small group this time. (MM has been having some issues in the recent update) Initially I decided to remove the only Anti-Aircraft gun in the area of the map we would be fighting. Meanwhile my team was engaging the one aircraft that had been spotted. Unfortunately 2 of them died in the canyon while in pursuit. With half the team now gone, I assumed this would result in a loss . Soon the three enemies were spotted. One seemed to crash into a cliff wall. Another I was firing at, head-on, but pulled away too late resulting in a collision. Badly damaged, the remaining aircraft was a British Skua which has a tail gunner. This caused me to take as much damage as I was dishing out. So I had to change strategies. I knew my remaining ally was a ground attack aircraft and wouldn't do well in a dog fight. So I had to stay alive and keep the Skua focused on me, giving my friend time to turn around and get a good shooting angle. I dived quickly, while being evasive. My goal was to pull the Skua closer to our anti-aircraft guns. As expected, with him focused on me, the attack aircraft finished him off. And that's how you turn a frown upside down.

This battle was during the 2016 "Japanese Threat" event, featuring Allies versus Axis. In the early 1950s the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China had disagreements on ideologies, which reduced China's access to USSR's military technology. As a result, the PLAAF (People's Liberation Army Air Force) consulted with the Shenyang Aero Institute. The company was tasked with developing a modern jet trainer. The result was the Shenyang JJ-1 jet trainer, sometimes referred to as Hong Zhuan-503. One static mock-up and two functional prototypes were built before the project was cancelled. During the design phase there was consideration of adapting the trainer into a fighter. This would have been been done by adding a second 23 mm gun as well as a 37 mm cannon in the cowling. The fighter variant would have been called JL-1A-37. With the cancellation of the JJ-1, all related design concepts were abandoned and no prototype was ever built.

My Chinese Type T-34 getting the winning shot during an encounter battle. Not sure why some of the movement is jerky. I'm using the built-in game recorder so maybe that's the problem.
