Most demoralizing moments?

[A8TOOL]

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.. 

I don't know why that happens.... or how he gets away from the other guys.

Yelling out over range that there are low bombers inbound...and it turns out to be an ant walking across my screen.

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

Again, why n the world can you drop bombs so low as to kill yourself and at the same time they must travel 1000 feet to arm?  Well, do they need 1000 feet or not?

i think that 1,000 feet travel is either horizontal, or verticle. i think the blast radius of some of the larger eggs is enough to kill a buff at 500 to 700ft alt. in theory, i think htat at that alt, going fast enough on release, they could travel 1k horizontal, and still be underneath you, thus damaging or killing you.


i could be wrong though.

We had a good sized bomber mission going of 6-7 bomber formations and we flew for about 10-15 minutes trying to get out of the darn mountainous terrain until we all crash landed on the side of a mountain laughing our heads off.  More funny than demoralizing I guess.

You see a good 1v1dogfight happening and you sit and wait for the victor at only slightly co-e and 3-4k out not wanting to go for easy pick or other dweebery since you enjoy a good fight yourself.  While waiting, another con comes in and mixes it up with you and you almost have him and then the other guy you left alone earlier comes in and picks you and he turns out to be a better player.

Any time I take off?

[stodd]

Dropping troops at a V base and then watching from the air helplessly as a 1/2 dozen flaks roll out and start spraying them.

Crashing into an afk plane.

Crashing into an afk plane.

Know whats worse, crashing into it 2 times then having the pilot come back and own you.

haha I came back from being afk once and it said I had shot down Bigamer (back when he was named Bisexual gamer instead of Biggamer).

It also said he had collided into me. I had an irrelevant fuel leak. Poor guy.

Also my gunnery is quite clearly better when I'm AFK as I had infinity hit percentage that kill.

Bwahahahaha. I love it!

Heading home after a few kills, and hitting X ( at least i thought I did ), then going to take a leak, or grab a beer. Returning to screen, only to watch in utter amazement, how low I am, and compressing into the sea. This is typical of perk rides for me.

Diving in on an enemy who pulls up, as you pull up your planes wings suddenly decide to take a leave of absense.

You must have an X52,

Theoretically you are right.  1000 feet any direction will get it done.  But I've dropped bombs by mistake on the deck when trying to drop my ext pod and boom I go.  I'm sure it didn't even travel 100 feet.  Should have been no blast notification just like when you dive bomb too low and you don't hear the boom.  Seems to be a real conflict going on here unless I'm just totally missing something, which is entirely possible.
