I love when idiots try and play the HO game with aircraft FAR more heavily armed then they are. Especially tater armed planes, since its a guaranteed 1-hit trip to the tower.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

1,5,7,9,10 all happened to me... the #9 one was in a F4U-4, chasing some B24's.. already had like 4 kills, they came over the CV and puuf, buh bye wing  :furious
Better than what happened to brody though... I haven't taken a 262 into any puffy since that happened, learned my lesson!  :bolt:

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.

#3 we were both in the vertical he was like 20ft off my tail and he took my wing off and i fell into him, #4 spray and pray #5 all the time in M8s, #6 board one day while on R&R and spawned a gv on the tank island on that big island map, just countiously fired rockets from my VBase to the bish vbase and ended up getting a few kills.  #10 i was in a C.202 and a typhoon went vertical directly infront of me, got 1 burst off and hit his cockpit.

I was being chased by 3 Pony D's once in a C202.  I had pinged all of them up pretty well in an epic 3v1 but alas, no fatal damage.  We spiraled to the deck and finally I was bled out of E and had to straighten out.  They lined up on my six.  I had no hope left so I bailed and popped my chute.  I capped the first one with two .45's in the wing and off it came.   :O  The next one in line, I shot in the cockpit - insta-death.  The last one circled out wide.  I landed on the ground  and he came in to strafe me.  I pulled a brilliant 2-D reversal and got on his 6 immediately.  He ran of course, but I was running as fast as I could chasing him.  He got away in typical Pony fashion.   :mad:

I would post the film but I was borrowing DrSpek's computer that day...

I've killed plenty in the main gun of a tank.  A month or so ago we were getting marked by a yak as we were driving and I saw it coming from behind and went ahead and raised my turret up before he arrived and boom 400 yards out as he passes I got a "fuseman" lol he pmed me and said I deserved that :salute Fuse  best shot I made was a 1.5 shot out on a IL2 moving from left to right with my main gun shocked me.

Here's one from the biggest "Fail" department, in my wisdom - I enjoy running M-16s next to enemy fields to shoot down La7's and Spit 16s to rack up easy perks. One guy tried so hard to kill my M-16 in his Spit16 I ended up killing him 4-5 times. So he upped an Il-2 then got shot down, then upped a B-25, after a few passes I shot him down and didn't think much of it.

ping ping ping - Dead. he bailed and in his chute ran over and killed my M-16!

So I then upped another m-16, head back and this time BANG! killed by a Panzer 4, same guy.

This time I'm like alrighty newb, lets go - I up a Panther and roll towards his field - bad idea since an IL-2 is busy hovering the spawn, after 100 rounds of 37mm, no damage is done, the Il-2 lands - next I see an A-20 that salvos 8 on me and completely misses. All this fun and I completely forget the same new guy runs a Panzer out to the spawn, and is less then 400 in front of me - except I am to busy looking at aircraft.

First 2 shots he fired, bounced off Glacias plate, I fired my first shot but I was dialed in to shoot down aircraft, and threw a round over him.

He calmly moves forward at full speed, as I am waiting to reload, pulls up beside me and shoots me.

Back to the tower I go.

/Fail......I guess I should of been naked.

A new first for me today. Nailed a moving F4U from 2K out with a B25H.  :rock :rofl Much LOLs ensued.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

4 or 5 years ago i was once pilot wounded by a droptank........then the preeeekk dropped down and killed me while i was blacked out!

on one of my early days, when i was still newb enough to think that vulching was funny i boomed into a field egg heavy as part of a B.O.P. base jump mission and there were 5 uppers all in a group on the runway. because i didnt know how (still dont) to bomb properly i did the only thing i could think of, screamed into the runway almost vertically aiming my plane at the group hit the release button, got the "you shot down #1-#5" messages in the buffer just as i augured into the runway right where my bomb just exploded.... it was funny as hell considering i had be playing AH for about a month or so.

last one, i killed 7 Muppet's in a single flight.

wish i had saved the screen shot, i was in the DA with a bunch of fellow Muppets pretending i actually had the talent to belong in this squad. well after an hour or so of killing each other (ok ok an hour of being the only moving target on the practice range would sum it up better) i had somehow wound up as the only bish in the air at the field when the 7 muppet's who were knights decided to head to the MA, they all bailed out at the same time giving me 7 Muppet kills in the buffer all in a row.........they were only proxies....but hey the rush of pride looking at my screen and reading "you shot down Grizz, Sunbat, Jetsom (Ink to some of you), Irishone, Agent360, Sunsfan and Scotch" was priceless!  :D

was gunna post the screenie in the main forum with a wild story of glorious combat in which i single handedly took them all down, despite their best efforts to attempt to gang and in desperation HO me down.....

knowing that i had the only proof of the event, which i could slant in any fashion i wanted, would have made it just the sweetest of pranks. unfortunately RL got in the way.........

Killed a whole set of high Lancs with 1 HVAR rocket fired from a TBM.  :D

 :aok  I've done that with multiple HVAR rockets in air a couple of times.  Sheer luck!

Here is one I did one time intentonally try but succeeding by pure blind luck.

Firing from the big guns on a CV on your own town using map aiming only , And killing the M3 trying to take it.
