I have rammed bombers more than once :D

Come in too fast in a 262 or K4 and it happens when you are target fixated and guns blazing. Doubt anyone with more than their 14 free days do it on purpose as they all know it will not end in their favor.

It's rather easy to collide with a buff when the pilot switches lead ships and ya get warped into.  It's also not too hard to bump into a drone when attacking the lead from the wrong angle.

Other than that, I agree the "dolt" tag should apply :)

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Greetings,

  Ah, yes.  The infamous bombers that suddenly appear in front of me.  I think it's because they just. don't. fly. dang it. fast. enough.  I know, I know, don't blame the slow guy.  But that is just the issue.  They. are. a. slow. and. available. target.

  Don't blame me for diving in to fast.  Blame the bomber for being. so. dang. slow.


  Honestly, I have rammed buffs.  Totally unexpected and unplanned.  It has been a while, but I do tend to get a bit 'focused' on that big ol' target.

Regards,

While doing one of those HARM missions, flying B17s. Had targets all over me, Im  focusing on the 190 on my dead six. Hes getting closer and closer, them WHAM! You have colided with so and so. My bomber goes down in flames, he flies away. Its amazing how someone can smack into your six while you're flying in a straight line and yet somehow you colide with them.

Worst part is -

Usually as he comes through your buff spraying and collides - you take a pilot wound.

One stage further -
Sitting stationary in an M4 and an LA7 collides with me, he flies off, my turrets gone.

I remember flying my 190A8 and diving on bombers, 800 out I colide with them. I was flipping on my squad, what a perfect time for those bombers to warp 800 RIGHT into me. I took out the lead from 800 out, was lining up a drone and I colide. Makes me wanna kick a puppy.

I was under a formation of bombers, pulled up intending to make a guns pass from underneath, misjudged my climb rate and collided. I flew away undamaged while the buff went down in flames.

People also ram the billion tons of dirt called earth, and not always intentionally.

Accidental crashing into the warping drones is common.

Bombers are made of aluminum, for the most part (cast iron and some steel in the engines, and steel in the guns) and weigh thousands of pounds. Further, the rate of closure and the inconsistent flight pattern of bombers often combines to cause collisions. Try blowing a bomber in half (literally watching the front half of the fuselage stand straight up vertically and climb 300 feet, as the tail falls away) and being killed  by part of the dead bomber's fuselage.
