Hitting a T34/85 with 5 consecutive rounds from 3000 yards, the fourth killing the turret and the fifth blowing it up, only to get an assist because the F4U pilot who put 400 rounds of .50 on it gets the kill.

Waking up, logging on, take off, get shot down... 4x over without any kills.
I logged off within 15 minutes.
Shortest AH session I have ever had. :furious :mad:

Having a good 1v1 with a better stick (happens most of the time to me) almost getting the kill and making some stupid manuver on my part and then I'm dead  :(

Forgetting to turn off AIM or putting up an away message and having AH minimize while in a divebomb position and a message from my buddy says, "Whats up?"

Not me  :mad:

LOL. Reminds me of a time when someone accused me of making an "impossible" shot. We arranged a 1v1 in Hurri 1s and met at 15k. I got guns on him and removed parts but was low E and inverted so engine cut out.  Stalled and floated down 10k in an inverted stall w/o engines.  :confused:  I had time to try everything I could think of  before hitting the water :furious
Thankfully he was a gracious victor.

how about hitting a t-34-76 from 1500, 5 in a row, and not even turreting or tracking it?

Well, I had this turnfight.. we ended up going in circles until opponent finally cokked up and had to leave the turn... I follow at about 300y... we had literally been in the fight for 5 minutes and my arm was already stiff from weight training earlier.... I couldnt hit the easiest shot ever, i just couldnt move my arm/wrist it was just completely locked.. i sprayed about half my ammo, completely un able to aim then i over overshoot, we both stall speed, he augers a split second before me........

My gunnery is just terrible as it is unless I'm taking quick snapshots and their plane is all over my screen.

RumbleB, yeah, I couldn't hit you cause I had just done a big leg workout and was blasted from all the squats and couldn't get good pressure on my pedals for good turns and an accurate shot..lol

Bad one for me is when I pass a fight where 2 or 3 green guys are beating up a red guy and you fly on by without engaging so as to not be a ganger or picker even though you'd get an easy kill..  You lose a little SA and all of a sudden that guy is on your 6 putting cannon into you..  :huh
