Spotting the lead Zero in difficulty, Wildcat #2 pulls down after him. He manages to get on the Zero's six and fires at close range. Zero #1 finally manages to regain control of his fighter just as streams of .50 cal. shells tear it apart. With no hope of anything but capture, the doomed pilot rides his wrecked fighter into the sea. Seeing his lead being attacked and with his own fighter severely damaged, Zero #2's pilot heads away from the fight hoping to escape. Seeing his wingman taking care of Zero #1, Wildcat #1 elects to pursue the severely damaged Zero #2 in hopes of running him down. |
