Most demoralizing moments?

[Becinhu]

Fly over an enemy field that is being vulched and watch a spit16/lgay7 go wheels up, straight vertical for 4-5k, and shoot down your plane cruising at 350.

Same thing with above 2 planes going wheels up off runway and chasing down your 190/temp/51 that just did a 400 mph pass on the runway.

[slyguy]

Don't forget blowing youself up with your own bomb.

I'll have to give people a pass on this one.  One would think if it must travel 1000 feet to go boom on the enemy it certainly shouldn't go boom dropping it 50 feet.

Do you call this a "dumb" bomb?

[Bosco123]

Have a long fight against a good opponent, then some noob gives you a join request, and the other guy gets one shot right in the cockpit.

OR, have an advantage the whole fight, giving the guy nothing but rubber bullets, and you give him one shot, just ONE shot, and it goes right into the cockpit.

[mechanic]

somehow touching your wheels down on the runway while blacked out then dying from the pilot wound before you can stop and /.ef

not an ah moment
But in armoured asault I called in an artillery spot and drove my tank right to the point of the barrage as it landed.

forgetting to open my bomb bay doors and miss my target 

[grizz441]

Barely had enough points to fly the 262 that I had been saving up for.  Took off and hit a tree...death.   

[texastc316]

fighting one of ther better pilots, giving my all, thinking I've almost get the shot but push a little to much and stall/spin/auger. ugh

[Letalis]

1. Taking a 262 for the first time this year, spotting a low F6F trailing a squaddie, lining up for an easy kill, %^$%^$&*#!!! compressing and giving the guy a proxy.  
2. Taking up a 51B, lining up a high closure rear-aspect shot pinging him the whole way and ramming yourself up the other guy's rear because darnit, you thought you were in a jug and it's fun flying through the debris of your opponent...
3. Letting 2-3 damaged cons land at their field during a sortie, later same night you try to up at a vulched field and get schwacked before clearing the hangar.
4. Losing calibration during a 1v2, stalling because of artificial right bank, getting shot down, bailing, getting strafed and killed after boots on ground. (In their defense I still had my .45)

[slyguy]

Lighting up an F-4U with sprites prop to tail.  He fell below my dash where I couldn't see damage and I got a kill.  The kill was the proxy of another plane, I mistook it for his and somehow he still had a plane to shoot me down with while thinking I was clear.  That's not the most humiliating, but this happened a few nights ago.

Here's a humiliating moment I gave someone else that he probably never knew.  Given what led up to it, my most rewarding shot in AH ever: No One Here Gets Out Alive

[Anaxogoras]

Funny, I thought this was supposed to be a thread about humility, but half the posts I see are whines.

Mine would be forgetting to select secondary guns are releasing a drop tank, or running out of gas because I'm on manual control.  Don't forget to laugh at yourself.

[AApache]

   How can you forget the good old killshooting yourself in tank town while holding 40 kills 

[Big Rat]

Brought an A20 full of eggs to defend a GV base, end up in a fight with a hurri at about 100ft off the ground and at about 300 mph.  Dump my ordnance thinking I'm too low for it to go off, not thinking that I'm going awfully fast. Blew myself to bits .  Also caught on film by my CO and put on the end of the year blooper tape

"Don't move your controls so rapidly" after 5 minutes of intense, white-knuckles stallfight,  just after I finally managed to gain advantage and begin to work on my gun solution...

Being discoed in any perk ride or after a 30 min.flight to bomb a target(10 sec. before drop)
