Ostie instant-deathed by hispanos?

[kvuo75]

NOt sure if it's a bug, but I haven't seen it till today... and sorry didnt save the film..

Spit 9 attacking my ostwind from about 10 degrees above horizon.. instant death to tower from 2 hispanos and 2 303's? 

he was attacking from about 4oclock position of my hull.. WTF? is there a sweet spot Ive never found? just a lucky shot?

Driving a spit, i got a kill like this.  This worked also with pt boat and lvt.

PT boats and LVTs dont have the armor a osti has, it shouldn't happen in my opinion.

Come up next to me and tickle me in a Tiger and I fall over dead.  I have serious issues with there somehow being a double standard in armor 

When I am in it, it is the worst possible armor made in some cheap shop out of old tin cans.  When someone else has armor, they forged it out future Star Wars galactic metal.

Kvuo,  I am sorry that you seem to have gotten one of my Ostwinds that I must have miraculously brought home safely.

I find it easy to kill osties in a spit.  I only fire the cannon for more accuracy. and shoot from above at an angle but not too steep.

well that was the first time i've ever seen it happen, in almost 4 years... getting turret shot out, yes, easily.. but never sent to tower as if hit by a tank round or bomb..

Doesn't an osti have an open gunner turret?
I thought this was discussed a long time ago, if you - the gunner - get hit by ammo from a plane - you die..

No, that just turrets you.  And semp I'd love to see some films of these "easy" flak kills with a dweebfire.

dive on a wirble or osti at the right angle and you can kill them

[coola4me]

Name the place and time and i will be there with an osti or wirble! I will not shoot, just to see if this can happen or just a bug!

tucks luck,  

when he got captured he did the same thing,  put a 20mm round down the barrel of a flak and peeled it back.  If the Germans hadn't thought this was so hilarious they would have probably killed him because he had just strafed and killed several of their buddies.

Are you sure there wasn't an enemy GV or another plane around?  

Only time I've ever killed a GV with gun fire only (20mm or less) was a panzer.  We had captured a field from CV and he was making the base flash afterwards.  I was C-Hog.

Found him in some woods  and did 2x top down all four 20mm guns blazing.  I really didn't expect him to pop but he went BOOM with no-one else around either.  

of course the PM accusations of cheating followed but you have to remember the force is strong in this one

well a spit has 4 303s,and yes you can get killed like that just aim right in the turret. Also how so would your wirbel get killed anyway,your a wirb man. Lastly what guy would be strafing a tank on fighter mode.

[Tec]

Well, that settles it then.  Thanks for enlightening us all.

[ariansworld]

Those hizookas will tear a panzer up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uytYDVfnyGc    I got quite a few flamers for this one, they just wouldn't believe it. I dont see how a Hispano could rip up an Ostie in just a few rounds though... thats a little overkill IMO/.
