stupidest thing ever!

[68ZooM]

I know!  What was I thinking?  I'm not entirely sure you get new toon eyes and throats in the hangar either...

(Sometimes I lay in bed unable to sleep when I can't stop my brain from thinking about what may have happened.)

now you know why they never issued you the red ryder BB Gun as part of your survival kit  "you'll only shoot your eye out kid"

Most stupidest thing I ever done is not keeping a list of all the many stupid things I have done 

Just off hand here. First time in 163, I collided with a 234. 1st time with 262 - collided with tree... took 262 about 30K to intercept some Bombers heading to our HQ - Dove on a vtard from 15K in a 262 - I'm pretty sure my wreckage was found and salvaged in China by now....

I had been playing for about 1 year.  and decided to join a mission, we quickly killed the town but our goon got shot down we had a good cap. so I augered a brought a goon, as I approached town I got killed by ack, I yelled at the guys on chanel that ack was up, they yelled back that it was down, i brought another goon and quickly got killed by ack.  i started yelling again that ack was up, that's when they mentioned that they didnt see me anywhere near town.  that's when I noticed that I had been going to the wrong base.  for a couple of months after that they wouldnt let me bring a goon.

Bringing a set of troops to a highly contested fight to take the town only to drop one large box of field supplies     i told them the troops were all hiding inside the box, ugh i heard about that for awhile

After dropping bombs, wing tanks, Rkts, etc., not selecting back to guns regardless of aircraft, if neglecting cannons, really bad, but could be the other half of your 50 cals. Wort part is landing, then figuring it out, or getting killed after shooting a bunch of small arms holes in the wings of the guy that killed you.

I hope you learned about .showjoin 0 since then

In my career I think I've flown at least 3 Corsairs off the back of the CV, by forgeting to raise my tailhook before taking off again   It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't train people in these planes

These are good, keep them coming

I think it was day 2 playing AH, on some map that we don't see very often...and I don't remember it's name.  Someone called for an M3 to capture a base and I jumped into one and off I went.....for a 2 1/2 sector drive.  Yep...didn't know about the spawn point buttons on the clipboard.  Needless to say, I only went 1/2 a sector before the base was captured.  In the end, I ended up rolling the blasted thing to boot.

big GV battle about a week ago,I asked if anyone needed supplies
a BIG YES rang out,so i run supplies to the nearest tank which is runnin for his life with no ammo!
I drop supplies right in front of him and move on,he asks HEY...where are those supplies?!?!?!?!?
I said I just dropped them,I did not realize you could not drop supplies at full speed!

when i was playing online, there were a bunch of craters at the end of the runway, i had 3 b-24s. i was like  what to do, what to dooo...pulll uuuppppp!!!!!!!... and promptly lost my back half. 

[MK-84]

Off the top of my head:

Dive bombing with a B-29 (never, ever ever...EVER do that)

On approach to land 9 kills in a tempest.  I was going a bit to fast so I wiggled the rudder to slow down and go the message "don't move your controls around so fast) and promptly turned a tree into a 10th kill : /

Saw an enemy airplane taking off from their base, zoomed in to vulch with a couple rockets, pickled 2 1000lb bombs instead, the resulting explosion got us both.

Wanted to dump speed before final again.  This time in a la7.  Cut throttle, pull up left aileron, right rudder.  My plane then proceeds to swing the tail around hard, airspeed hits zero, I drop like  a brick.

An enemy airfield is deacked. I land my b25 right behind the runway hoping for a vulch (evil grin)  A Il2 spawns super super close to me.  I launch a pumpkin, we both die.

I had been playing for about a week or so, when the opportunity came up for me to fly a goon to a base-take.

I took off with about 3 other goons in trail. As goon leader they all followed me in a slow climb to the left. As we went along, someone came on vox and asked, "Uh, where are we going exactly?" I had no idea.

A big hill was rapidly approaching in the windscreen.

The last thing I heard was, "I hope we make it over this hill."  We didn't.  

Left a pile of smoking wreckage all over that hill, and I felt like a total dufus. My friend, who was sitting next to me, still gives me a hard time about that one.

Live and learn.    

Something similar here.  Here's one of many stupid things I've done.  Was asked to bring troops to capture a small airfield.  Everything was going great.  I had my line on the town and auto-level and all.  
Made sure I had my salvo set to ten.  Open door.  It's time to drop.  There IT goes?  A big ol' chute of field supplies.  I never changed course, just went full manifold with my head in shame...

Wow. If there were ever a thread that proved nobody read the other guys post this is it.

We all have dropped field supplies when we meant to drop people.

Actually, this thread is prime evidence that war winners are ADD, non-detail oriented, peer ignoring, selfish, ultramaroons.

Let's see how many more ppl post about dropping sups instead of troops.
