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.

/thread

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.

Who pissed in your cheerios?  :headscratch:

Stupidest thing i've SEEN:

in a whirble defending a town from enemy. I'm turreted at the map room with my hull gun pointing at the map room for troops. once the LVTs finally let the troops go i shot them... seemed normal. usual defense...
---till i saw an enemy pilot come out of OUR map room and point his gun at me and start shooting :huh

stupidest thing i've DONE:

few years ago i flew off a CV in an F4U4. got to the enemy base and said to myself... i feel slow... hmm... gears up... what is it? as soon as i engage my first enemy of the night and he's on my six i realize, FLAPS! the auto takeoff flaps were still down :lol

I don't know but it always makes me cranky when someone does. The sad thing is I just get in a bad mood and lash out at people when I eat my cheerios rather than trying to figure out why they had a slight ammonia taste.

One day I will learn. Until then, you should ignore.

In a 262 coming up on a B17's low 6, then I realized that I - uh got it a bit wrong. My tail clipped the B17's and came off. The front of my 262 flipped end over end above and in front of the B17 and I collided a 2nd time.

This one time I was running a goon for the war effort, and wouldn't yah know. :ahand

The tailhook backflip off the cv was truly a facepalm moment. I also remember a 6k base where gvs could come screaming down the hill. Well lets just say I lost the drift, but almost saved it. "As yooouuuuu wissshhhh!"

One of many stupid things I've done.

This is how I met my squad!

I was looking for a base to up from, and I saw a lot of action around a carrier.  Someone was typing out on Text "TURN C28 TURN C28 BOMBERS OVERHEAD!!!"  So I took control of the carrier and turned it!

It just so happened that an entire squad was sitting on the carrier to take off together and had just started to roll when I turned it!  They all fell off the side and went for a swim in the drink!  They were yelling and throwing a fit!  All I could do was apologize, as I was just turning the carrier like someone wanted me to.

They straightened it out and all formed up on the carrier again.  About 20 planes or so sitting there on the deck waiting to take off.  Right then the bombs hit, killing EVERY ONE of them!  It was FRIGGIN HILARIOUS!  :lol :lol :lol

I don't know who was more stupid.. them or me, but I still fly with them today!

Bombed a tank or two with a TBM and climbed to alt for defense of a vehicle base.  Here comes a set of high Lancs, so I fire my rockets at him in desperation.  The last one hit, killing one and de-winging the lead.  While the lead bomber spiraled down (and the pilot thinking "WTF just happened?"), I got a proxy on the other drone.  Still laughing to myself on approach to the field, my plane abruptly stopped a few feet short of the tarmac.  Yep, forgot to put the gear down.  :lol
