AH one-in-a-million
« on: January 15, 2012, 02:17:50 PM »
What are some of the things that are possible but almost never happens in AH?
And who has done it?
(feel free to add more)

1. 8-Inch/5-Inch HE guns shooting down planes.
2. Three+ planes collision.
3. Nailing a plane/kill during your death spiral (lost tail/wing)
4. Killing someone during a blackout from pilot wound. (Spray and pray)
5. Killing planes with GV's main guns (happens a lot, but still a lot of luck/skill involved)
6. Killing planes/GVs with the M4/75 Calliope or the Sdkz 251 rockets.
7. Killing a plane with a chute.
8. Killing a tank with a 50kg bomb (has to be a *direct* hit)
9. Getting killed by friendly auto ack/puffy ack. (Not as rare but still doesn't happen a lot)
10. One hit/burst kills from .303s

#3, #5, #9, and #10 has happened to me.

Done all that at least once, best was having my tail shot off - I started to spray and nailed the guy who picked me, took his wing off.

Only thing I haven't done was nail a plane with a 5 inch (shore bat), however I got nailed trying to land on a field with an I-16  :furious

You should add this one to your list:

11. Died after hitting a bomb in free-fall. It's happened to me twice. :uhoh

I've done 1), 2), 5), 6), 7), 8), 9), 10). And I've seen the others.

If you've been in AH for a while, you see and do some crazy stuff. Best thing I remember seeing is a strat raid getting screwed over. A total of 3 bombers got some objects destroyed (and only a few of them) before the strats moved.

Best thing I've heard about was a solo I-16 busting an entire mission buy inadvertently vulching everyone on takeoff. The Rs-82 rockets were fired at what looked to be a single aircraft, and everyone else appeard miliseconds before impact.

Best thing I've done was get a mirical pilot shot at ~800 yds on a Mossie in a high angle deflection shot with a single burst from my 7.92mm's on the 190A5. Just goes to show you, nose thumbing will sometimes do more than make you feel better.

Same.  Tec posted a film once of his Me163 getting killed by B17s dropping bombs on top of him.

I've killed a few guys with the shore battery by lobbing shells to hit the ground near them as they fly at 50 feet above the ground.

I did get someone in a 110 point blank and the explosion from the shell made a bomb crater in the sky where he was.

Had my tail blown off by a p51 in a 110G, the way I tumbled nose up, I fired off the rockets and ended up killing 3 of Manawar's Lancasters.

surprised he never said anything about the luck of the shot.

It never happend. If you don't believe me, all you have to do is ask him  :D.


Apparently, hes the only AH player never to have been shot down in actuall combat (it seems duels, 1v1's, furballs, bombers, GV's, and anything not a field gun doesn't count as combat).

I was the leader of such a mission, except we didn't get to drop on the strats at all.  :rolleyes: Bad timing makes me all sad face.  :frown:
