Like a lot of folks, any time I kill a perk plane, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside . . .
Most unbelievable: Vulching SHawk (of all people) in his CHog 5 times (4 kills, one ditch) while his horde of protectors tried desperately to catch/stop me. (I believe this brings my lifetime kill/death ratio against him to 5 / 4 billion.)
Funniest: Flying high cap on a port capture attempt. Goon is close when a Tempest appears. He has alt, starts down on me. No time to mess around and risk him seeing the goon, so I turn toward him. Surely he will pull up. Nope. He receives a face-full and goes down. I get the lovely private message: "Lamer, why you HO when you have all the advantages. Learn some ACM you Tard" I think about pointing out that I am now missing a cannon, therefore he was not exactly guns-cold, or arguing about who has an advantage in that situation, but instead just throw an
on 200. PM: "I can't salute you back, bro, cause you're too lame."
A little later, same sortie, here comes Tempest toward our newly captured base. I am watching him close on my 6 -- go to try to break -- only to find in my attempt to keep him in my field of view, I had inadvertantly entered a climb and was so slow I couldn't manouver. I just kind of flopped there. Pushed the nose down, thinking I am far too late already. Hear the pings and then a "bang!". The bang is accompanied by "XXXXX has collided with you. System: You have shot down XXXXX #2." Sure enough, same fella. Throw another and expect the PM: None comes this time! Land my leaking plane.
Most recent: Some squaddies and I take off from a base where a few 262s have been buzzing about. We see one fly directly over us, but it appears to move on. Continuing to target, a minute later, we see a low dot on the deck as one of the 262s is trying to sneak up on us. He comes my way since I was a little separated from the others, and I am sure because it was easy to see the bright orange N1K. I turn toward him. Surely he will turn away, I think. No -- comes right in, gets a face full, and goes down. I turn back toward target when a squaddie says he sees a second 262 coming. I turn toward him. Surely he will not HO after seeing the fate of his comrade . . . wrong again. This guy was a bit better shot, but he still hit the ground first.
