Most demoralizing moments?

[Treize69]

Spending two hours singlehandedly defending a CV group only to be killed by your own puffy ack right after you disengage and try to land.

Or having an M3 sneak through the GV cordon and grab a base while you are on final after an epic base defense.

Or my favorite- an even matchup well away from the horde with a damn good stick and the servers start acting up, booting you both out after you FRs drop to 2.

Shooting someone's tail off, then getting shot down as their aircraft rears up on it's behind and the guy opens up with everything he has.  I have been hit a few times by this, but only shot down once, when i was in a Mossie and the guy set me on fire with one ping.

Getting shot down by friendly ack or puffy ack while defending a base is also pretty demoralising.

I usually just try to talk them into upping a Spit I or an A6M2.

RTBing with 8 kills in an F4U-4 while about out of gas, and about 5 miles from my landing approach, field in site, when:

*The War has been won by the Bishops*

Bases immediately change, and I'm now about 200 miles from the nearest friendly field and without enough gas to make it anywhere. I fly as far as I can out of dar so I'm no longer flashing the base and set down in the field to wait out the disco.

An enemy P-51 (NOT the country who owns the field) flies ~5000yds overhead, pursued by a friendly in a 262. Somehow that P-51 is  outrunning a 262 travelling at over 500mph level flight. P-51 flies past, then decides to come back to pick me off, (the 262 still on his 6) and crashes into me. And he gets a kill on me 30 seconds before the boot to desktop.

Yeah, D3a is usually my answer to the fastest.  Shame we don't have Km/h on the German aircraft dials, may be able to fool them that their 110C is actually doing 500+ mph.

Another demoralizing moment is getting a join request off someone you do not know.  I usually up a jeep or m3, accept, then go on a nice scenic drive somewhere, possibly even base jump off some nice big hills.

What is the worst of the worst situations you can be in?
1) Being mainguned by a tank in your fighter..I know this happens a lot, still stinks when it does though
2) Having your AC shot down by the SB
3) Having your 262 chased by a 234
4)Trying to vulch the runway and having that guy parked on the runway shoot you down
5) ^^^ same as above, but augering
6) shot down by me  ..the noobiest of the noobs

Give some funny input

1.Being shot down by a 234
2.crash trying to kill a C-47, and then watching him land 2 kills knowing your one of them

What he said ^^

[thndregg]

Posting mission, launching mission, disco, "This arena is full, please choose another."

[kilo2]

dogfighting someone and having your vertical stab shot off taking no other damage i hate that always feels like the guy got lucky

[Treize69]

Having your wingman bounced out of nowhere, then hearing him screaming on squad vox "Watch out, its Kermit!"

Makes me curl into a ball and cry every time.

Last night i was doing some GV spotting at a V base in my Bird, and a M3 drove under me and in two snapshots my engine went my gear got hit and i got a pilot wound,trying to land i blacked out and hit a mountain.That's a film worth keeping.And whoever got that kill congrats.
