Your Favorite GV Kill
« on: December 20, 2011, 12:35:17 PM »
Someone said there was an M-18 under the bridge. I had just
finished delivering supplies with an M-3 and thought I would have a go at
killing the M-18. I pulled up behind him and started firing at his turret. It smoked
before he could get it around and then I pointed at his six and took out his engine which
he had just started up. I continued to fire at his six and BOOM he blew up....LOL.
I had no idea at the time if I could pull it off, but it worked. I'll probably never sneak
up on a M-18 ever again. The guy I killed is a really good tanker and I know he'll get
payback a hundred times over. <S> Elk !

Dropping a bomb on Butcher  :neener:

Best part is, he has to move, which means his tent, fire, and clothesline all have to be abandoned or dealt with.     :salute

I was marking a tiger with my ponyd for the guys in the ground so I fired all my rockets in a hurry due to fighter planes coming after me,  as I pulled up somebody said, "great marking, tiger is dead "

I dig attacking a base where ords are down, and they're upping B-25H's. I think I'm something like 10-1 against them in my T-34 last couple of tours...

Killing a 262 with an osti recently in the AvA.  Was a lot of fun and quite satisfying.

I killed some poor guy dropping a 1k bomb from 20K+ when engaging another fighter and dumped it.  Didn't even realize I was near a GV base.  Talking about bad luck, that guy had it :lol

One of my most memorable kills vs another gv happened about a month ago.  

I upped a King Tiger at a port after a report of "a lot of tanks are inbound to Port XYZ", I rolled out and went near the center of the field and stopped on the concrete, pivoted in place putting my front towards the enemy spawn, and shut off the engine.  About that time I spotted a round inbound from waaaaay out there.  I zoomed in and saw the culprit: a stationary enemy Panther (or so I thought).  Using the German "mili-radian" sight I gauged the enemy tank to be about 3600 yards out and slightly elevated from my position.  I fired and watched the shot arc out towards the target, got up and made a sammich and grabbed another beer real quick like, and sat back down in time to see the round impact dead square on the frontal armor followed by a flash and a plume of black smoke.  Immediately following the impact a message in the chat bar popped up saying "You shot down prowl3r".  As I tried to gather my thoughts on what just happened, I get a PM from prowl3r himself giving kudos to the nice "long range 1 shot kill vs a King Tiger".

I've made some very long shots properly using the mili-radian sight, but that one is the furthest and the best (and most lucky) considering the distance and being "first shot on target".

I was out cruising near an enemy spawn in a Jeep when I spotted a Panzer headed toward our base.  I got perfectly on his six then set speed so I was gaining on him slowly and jumped into my .50 cal.  As I got close I opened fire at the engine area of his tank and killed him before he knew what happened.

Inspired I drove to the spawn and parked.  I killed two M3's and something else I don't remember then drove home and landed my four kill Jeep mission.

Trying to take a port, and only had one Wirble protecting it. I was the only plane in the area. Flying a F4UD, I had one rocket left. Fired it, and hit the WW dead on, instant kill and we got the port. Was very happy about it.
