Taters

[Imowface]

now from the title you may think this is a how do I aim teh tatttter thread, but its not, the other day I am 99% sure I tatered myself, so my question is, is it possible to be close enough to someone that the splash damage from a mk 108 round kills you as well? Or did my 109 just say eff this and self destruct?

[Scotch]

Yes. Though usually it just kills your engine, not you.

[Imowface]

well that's good to know that my plane isn't out to get me, as for just killing the engine, it was a very weird shot, I gave it full right rudder let a few out for the guy to fly into and by the time he hit them I had restored the rudder to normal and he was pretty close to my cockpit, so I would imagine that's how it got me

[BrownBaron]

It's only happened to me a handful of times. It has ended every time in a brief sense of victory followed by complete confusion as I stare out the window of the tower. I'd say instantaneous death occurs when the tater explodes ~D25 from your plane.

[Imowface]

it was the only time so far its happened to me, most of my tater kills are between 200 and 400 away like they should be

[Messiah]

Yes it happens. It's so tempting to take the shot when your super close but you know it will kill you too heh.

[Ardy123]

I've done it, usually it takes out my engine though, only once has it caused me to go 'boom'.

[Tec]

Ah yes, the dreaded self tater.  I've even done it with 20's on a couple occasions.

[FLOTSOM]

so now you guys are telling me that not only do i have to worry about every red guy out there with the lazer tracking firing abilities built into their rides and the ground with the perfect ACM but now i need to worry about myself also?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

wow and i thought playing soccer on the interstate was getting dangerous! this place is just death in a bottle!!!!

im sooooo depressed now......... 

TEC.......hold me?

[BillyD]

         I had more problems with huge chunks of shi@ flying off and me running in to them. The inevitable " you rammed me " from the collision message was hilarious. No you diddlying tard muffin I shot off your whole tail section and rammed that!

Enough about me ramming tail....miss tatering ppl thas all

Well, that's not so bad. I hear they're good in just about every conceivable way. Fried, salted, dipped in catchup. Sometimes fresh, raw, with a bit of ranch. Mashed, scrambled, so on.

If you like 'em so much I can deliver a few to you. By air. Just fly straight and level.

actually, it makes it easier to give out taters if they turn hard
