Had an close call in a B-25 vs a Panzer today.  Just driving along like normal killing gvs, but never have I had a shot come so close to getting me and yet missing.  Also  :salute KiLLin44, was a close one.







Was a bit of lag so it took him a second to die, but it was almost worth it :O.

I was waiting for friendlies to bring back ord at a V-Base so I decided I'd land my wounded B-17 and maybe spot some tanks on the ground.

I sat next to a Panzer for a good 5-6 minutes before friendlies came back with bombs w/o him noticing me (about a close are you are in that pic).  How he didn't hear me, I'll never know.  I then drove in front of him to protect incoming M3's.

The panzer won.

As you can see the tracer is going through the panzer.  As stated there was lag so it took the panzer a minute to die, but gave him enough time to shoot

I had another Close call that same day (only a few minutes apart actually), where i had to make one heck of a quick emergency landing.
I was just flying along defending the base when i notice i am the center of attention, and nothing i can do in my hunk of metal.






I managed to Ditch as it can be seen in the last picture i was stopped :D.
