Kill shot myself on enemy bombers.
« on: January 06, 2014, 04:45:13 AM »
Any thoughts as to how I shot myself down when hitting enemy aircraft over my own base?

I heard someone else talk about doing this in a 109K last night on range vox.  At the time I thought he either hit a nearby friendly by mistake / pure chance or was loony.  After reading this thread I'm not so sure....

No bombs & no friendly GV's at all on base.

You have to send that film to HTC directly or load it up here, in this forum you can add attachments to your posts "additional options".  :old:

That being said, it's clearly a crazy bug to me.

I've done this in a 262, I remember being baffled by the film.

I do know that you will take damage from friendly auto ack if you get in between it and the red guy...  Is this possible?

You could see that on your film (yes, in case of auto ack you can), and it would not result in multiple "you hit yourself" messages.

ah, yes, I see that now. The pic is really grainy to me (or I'm old). Tx.
