Happened to me last week.  There I was getting ready to drop on the town.  Then BOOM! What the hell????  A few hours latter I was looking at my stats.  Funny thing, I had been killed once by a 262.  I dont remember engaging a 262. Hmmm.  The point is, are you sure there was no one else around?  Also, had you been into a fight a few minutes before?

Non of these explains what happened to your friend since you were behind him and you would have seen the enemy if one was around, but it sounded similar to what happened to me.

I heard you talking about it on squad chan, but there was so mach talk on range that did not get a chance to see your name.  Now that you mention it, I remeber the conversations, but I was not close enough to see it  (it was last night over 41 or 44,  right?)

Some of my squaddies & I had a strange occurance.  We were defending a port and were being attacked by invisible ships. (this was on the pizza map).  It was dawn, so we thought the ship would appear as the sun came up, but it didn't.  

I upped a P-47 to bomb it from another base, but it was still invisible.  The funny thing was watching a Spitty take off - it just showed up over the water.  Well, I went down to take a shot at him figuring the ack would take me out, but it never happened - there was not any ack at all.  I ended up shooting this guy several times as he was taking off.

One of my squaddies switched sides to see what was up & said when he got on the carrier, it was plowing through the desert, not water.

Definitely wierd.  I think a couple of us recorded it, but I haven't gotten around to watching the film.

While we're on the subject, can anyone explain this one??

My wingman and I are rtb, no dots in sight, friend or foe.  Tom is about 2.5 behind me.

All of a sudden, 'ping-ping-ping' and I'm going down in flames.  Tom is dumbfounded.  He was right behind me, my plane clearly visible in front of him, when I suddenly burst into flames and fell to earth.  He saw no other planes, anywhere.  No did I when I frantically looked back as I was getting hit.

I bailed, and someone or other got credit for shooting me down.  I called him on Ch1, but he was convinced it was just a clever bounce.  Tom swears to this day there was no other plane in the sky.

This also happened to one of my squadies about a month ago.  Ever happen to any of you?

About a year ago, there was a problem with my lynksys router, where as I'd be flying along and about 15 minutes into my flight, I'd disapear to all those around me, even though I could still see them and interact with them, but once they left icon range, they were lost for good. This would happen with nme too. Mean while I was "Cloaked" i could drop troops, kill, drive vehicles, blow up town buildings, and not be effected by ack... it was the best "error" ever. But considering this unfair it was reported and taken care of. Hopefully this isn't happening again. But like I said, it can't be used as an effect "cheat" against other players (only objects, or enemy in Icon range when it occurs) and was never a widespread problem, which I assume was taken care of.

Exact same thing happened to me the other day.  I was in my pony with alt (as always:D ).  I dive in on Nord1 and his niki buddy.  I go for the rope and he dosen't buy, so I zoom back up.  Before I know it, BOOM!  It didn't say who or what shot me down.  I was nowhere near an ack and even Nord1 admitted that he didn't even get a shot near me.  Needless to say, I was mad!  I've been shot down by hurri's, stukas, and even been roped by a C-47, but I've never been shot down by the air----until now :rolleyes:


Oh well, back to climbing to 30k again:aok
