Yes I did something stupid.
« on: April 17, 2011, 05:51:24 PM »
Flying around in a formation of Lancs the other day and dropped my bombs on a base.  On my 6 o'clock I'm watching two planes come up to me.

The closer of the two was a P51 and almost on my dead 6... I'm in the tail gun watching him creep closer and closer...3.0K, 2.5K, 2.0K and finally 1.5K and I've got my finger on the trigger getting ready to light him up.

Right then, BAM BAM BAM!  All three planes blow up and I'm sent to tower.  At this point I'm so angry.. I'm thinking "what a cheater!  ZOMG how can he blow up all three of my planes like that at once!" but then I recomposed myself and got to thinking that maybe there's a more logical explanation.

So then I'm thinking maybe a rocket or something hit me?  I figured what the heck... so I PM'd him and asked him how he killed me like that from 1.5K out?

His response?  "You flew into a mountain!"

I would be very unhappy if I was that pony. He could have got 3 real kills that would have counted in his score and he would have got perks, but instead he just got 3 proxys.

 I remember watching Thndregg fly along low in a goon once and a flight of 17's were so intent on killing his goon that they slammed into a hill like that..  Thndr got to land 3 kills in his C-47 that day. lol
