for all you long timers that used to fly in the Air Warrior days, you will remember that you could actually shoot down people on your own country.  I actually shot down my own wingman once (hate to admit that), but hey, you think twice about flying in front of someone that is saddled up on their opponent.

of coarse, if you did this more than once in one day, you were listed as "personna-non-gratta" and you could not load ammo for the remainder of that day.  Kind of a unique twist to the game, but one that I liked.  It spurred some interesting conversations I have to admit.  :lol

after all, real is real! :D

Kinda like "We were who we thought they were!":huh

love that quote, had to throw that in there.  :aok

When does happen to you ... it will be one of those "WTF happened" moments.

You have been winning the lottery.

In the 6+ years that I have been playing ... I can probably count on 3 or 4 fingers the amount of times it has happened to me.

I the other day tried to shoot down some suicide Lancs trying to bomb my CV, I closed in fast doing well over 450 and Lancs were about 5k from the CV, puffy ack got my wing,  not even single shot from the Lancs gunners.

It doesn't shoot at you - it shoots through you to shoot at them.  I've never had it kill me (edit-> not meant to indicate that I don't believe it would, just that it hasn't ever killed me). But it will scare the living jebesu out of you when you aren't expecting it....

I was in a mission once and we took an airfield.  The previous owners had left supplies out and the auto-ack was shooting across he runway.  Shot down most of the people that were trying to re-up.

Happen to me few times - First time it happened was actually several weeks ago; I was chasing 190 over what I believe was factory IIRC, and was about ready to fire the 50s o Death then BOOM, was towered. I was filming it so I logged out and checked; sure enough, ''friendly'' ack was the reason. Second time shortly after was when I was taking off to attempt to kill off porking NIK;  AA shot off my rudder as the NIK was diving in but away from me
