I was at about 15k with a -1 Corsair, with a 500lb bomb (I think that was the weight as it was about 5 years ago or more).  I dumped my bomb to engage a Ki61, with no thought as to putting it toward anything.  About 20 seconds later I get a kill message.  Some poor sap was just in the wrong place at the wrong time :lol,  Guess I should have played the lottery that day, of course I bet the guy who caught the bomb was  :furious :headscratch: :noid.

A few weeks ago I was torping an enemy CV in the AvA with Ju88s.  One run I came in much slower and closer than I needed to, and flew over the CV after drop, but not before clipping the tower on the CV with my right wingtip... surprise, wintip didn't rip off, instead my Ju-88 cartwheeled 180 degrees mid-air before belly flopping into the ocean, facing the CV on the opposite side than I came from, and shortly therafter getting pummeled to death by the auto ack.

I thought it was pretty hilarous given that an Ironbark in AH WILL do worse.

  I had a B-17 come apart while I was chasing it one time.  I couldn't figure out what had happened until I went back and looked at the recording.  Turns out he turned hard and went into a dive at the same time, and tore his wings off.

Before Storch's came out I was screaming around in a jeep spotting for tanks.  As I screamed by a sherman (I think) I shot it with my .50 apparently enough to get the kill.  Not sure if he towered or got hit, but I did get the kill..

Another time I delivered troops to a map room in an LVT.  Apparently the VH popped and 3 vehicles spawned just prior to the last troop getting in.  The auto ack killed the GV's and I got the proxies.  I'll take that...

I went to fast diving my 262 and blacked out trying to pull up before hitting the ground.  I hear a Crash and assume the tower is next.  When I finally awake from the blackout I'm shooting straight up with both engines destroyed.  I proceed to glide 20 miles back to a safe landing.  After reviewing film it turns out that I hit a tree at 660mph while blacked out.

Man I remember the days of driving a Jeep into an enemy tank and killing them!  That had to be around 2007 when I first started playing

I quite often killshoot myself with my pintle gun by firing on a drunken squadmate's tank to wake them up. Of course the ability to kill a Panther with a pintle gun simply doesn't translate when shooting at an enemy.

that's odd.

I have literally hundreds of times blasted away at friendly tanks with coax and pintle guns. Possibly even thousands.

I have never, never ever killshot myself with it.

Dropped HQ and realized I didn't have gas to get home so I landed, bailed, and waited for the resupply guys to show up.

I chased a set of B-17's with a 190-D at HQ and got PW'd first ping about 1K out. I hung around and beat him up pretty bad before I had to rtb. I immediately jumped in a goon to resupply and just as I lifted he bailed and I got 3 kills in a C-47. I'll take it. :neener:

I have the film but can't figure out how to screen shot it.  :furious
