rolling back on CV to refuel-
« on: April 24, 2007, 09:46:42 PM »
in zeke loaded w/ ord, from CV, returning to CV, missed the tailhook lines but landed safely on CV. Begin routine backing up to refuel lines- notice right wing trailing white smoke,  as soon as I get to the re-arm lines, I warp right off the back of ship & explode, not just fall into water,  but explode at back of ship on ship deck.

I flew 2 zekes last night, 1st sortie I dropped ord on GV in town & nothing happened, I figured I musta been too low & they didnt go off. 2nd drop was plenty high & no explosion. Possible bomb bug?

One of my squad mates had the same thing happen.  He was refueling on deck in a zeke, went to back up to relaunch and ZING, off the back of the CV he went.  Don't know if he had film though...

Theres 2 things that could be happeneing:

SCCA, yours sounds like a well-known slingshot bug. If you leave your hook down, you get slingshotted off the back. I know. I do it to n00bs all the time ;)

But the first one sounds like something else, because the slingshot doesnt cause an explosion, it just... well... slingshots you into the water.
