has this happened to anyone before?

Try using a virtual tampon next time to slow the bleeding.

NAAAAAAA be a MAN and stick your finger in the hole.

If only you would have rtb'd after the 8th kill, he could have died a hero, in the ER of course.
But all the "wtg's and nice job's", would have meant nothing because that pilot would have already passed on.  Only the new pilot, in his new plane would see those messages, and unless he had a weejee board,  the pilot that landed those 8 kills would still have no idea how greatly appreciated his efforts were.

It truly is a shame. Greed is a sin, especially when a make believe pilot's life is on the line. I mean jeeze, you let him bleed to death! For Shame!

No, but I had situations (several) where I was about to land 2 killz in an LA7 and had to slow down running from a C202 so I could land them killz, and as I got slow, the 202 closed in, did not die in the ack, and removed one of my wings with a short 10 second burst, I hit the runway, and my plane blew up.
That is complete BS and I wish HT could fix it so that if you have more than 1 killz to land, no one can kill you if you are in friendly ack.

immersion in the game can cause frustrating moments like this you have described!  I found a field last week that was covered in gv's and had about 7-10 enemy in planes defending.  I saw that about 12 fellow green were attacking so next sortie I brought a CHOG and started to rope til my hearts content.  Eventually there was no need for a rope as the 3 ponies and 1 jug pilots had little if no reversals.  So just pick and pick until finally an enemy la7 showed up with alt.  I reversed him and he ran in a big fashion, 3 greens kept chasing him and I heard one say la7 down.  I kept killing the innocent non reversal guys as they seemed only interested in pulling straight up for the first con they saw!  The la7 came back again with alt and I reversed him again and he ran again with two or three greens on him and they went out of sight.  One green was caught on the deck in one of the "holes"/ valleys beside the field and I dove in and cleared him by shooting my 32nd kill down. Yup, 32 kills, 140 cannons left, and 1/4 tank of fuel.  Suddenly I see a tracer and look back to see the la7 followed by 5 greens and he was 200 out!  He got my wing tip but I was too close to ground to save plane and crashed and died!  No chk 6 or, "hey!, la7 coming back through"  just total silence as they splashed him right after I went in.  You got to take those moments and just laugh it off.........right after you curse the Gods!:aok

I can answer "no" to this question cause I don't fly LA7's.

I still say HT should have your virtual life pass before your eyes/across the sceen. Then you would get to see all those hookers from the Pacific theater again, the drunkin brawls in London, sheep in ..... uh, perhaps this isn't such a great idea after all??  Sheep are liars...

So, Bugs, nope never gottin 2 kills in LA7,  uuh, what was the question again?
