How many times are you the only one strafing a Tiger can you check assists rich? I probably have 100 assists on Tigers, but when you blow them up with 37mm you will know it and can tell YOU killed them. Who cares if i didnt get the credit I deserved they lost 35 perks.
You should have just let the thread die out. You got caught talking nonsense, as a lot of others have here when stats are checked, and no doubt you wont be the last. Be that as it may I differentiate between "story telling that hurts nobody" and "outright Lies that are aimed to hurt". Yours was the first and had you let the thread peter out I would have too.
For the record heres what you said,
"Ok rich I believe you, but I have strafed down many a Tiger in the MA in one pass if you use the angle I did it WILL work. <S>
Since you seemed to think the off-line Tiger was tougher then the MA one I would be willing to bet you've NEVER strafed down a Tiger in the game period. Your 3 Tigers probably came from dropping bombs on them. You got caught telling Tall tales. Harmless ones , but you aren't helping yourself by letting your pride to make you look foolish. "Assists: aren't "kills". You know it and everyone else here knows it. Shooting up a Tiger in one pass and then somebody else killing it after, isn't a "1 pass kill".
I have found if you hit them hard enough like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqRZ1-b2ssM and then somebody hits them again, most times you'll be credited with the kill. It was not however a "1 pass Tiger kill" for me. Nor would I represent it here as one.
Heres another attack.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpup1PBcMJE You'll notice despite the good hits in the first pass they had no effect on the Tiger. It took a 2nd pass to get him smoking, and even then I didn't outright kill him. A tank finished him as I was setting up for the 3rd run, tho I got credit for the kill. Most times a good pass or two like that will eventually give you the Tiger kill even if another finishes it off. Thats why your 3 kills in 10 months looks even less impressive. If you were making good first passes the game would have given you far more kills no matter how the fight ended.
Ive only killed 20 to 30 myself cause you just dont see Tigers around air bases that much and when you do you have 27 guys dropping and strafing them with everything they got. Not only do I often let others take them but I also dont fly my IL2s to GV base vs GV base battles out of respect to the GV'ers. In my eyes they pay their $16 bucks to have some tank vs tank battles so it would be selfish of me to drone over to GV bases out of greed.
Ive also had extreme incidents of Tigers that simply wouldn't die. This player was on his 3rd IL2 loads of 37mms and the Tiger was still up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MckWKbbfKqo I asked first and then killed it in one pass, "tho i certainly wouldn't call it a 1 pass kill". He got the credit for the Tiger and he deserved it. Ive seen Tigers endure all kinds of ord both dropped and shot at them. Conversely Ive also killed a few in one pass in an IL2. But not many, and for sure not "many a Tiger".
We can go on with this thread as a training theme but dont post more nonsense trying to cover for your earlier nonsense. Ive been meaning to start an IL2/Tiger thread, which is why I have all this video ready to go.
