Pure Neatness
« on: March 06, 2014, 07:25:45 AM »
Last night I outed a Panzer on an ET, GV mission.  An A20 spotted me.  I dogged the first bomb.  On his second run, as I was looking up at the A20 knowing this was not going to turn out well.   As he dove, I actually saw the bomb coming in.   First as a small dot then growing into a full bomb image.  I got killed but thought seeing the bomb falling was so cool.

I am sure others have seen like stuff.  I was wondering what others have seen like this.  Maybe plane parts.  Maybe like a falling drop tank hitting a GV or other plane.  Neat things that are rare to see.

With all the whines about the graphics it's good to see posts like this every now and again.

    I was attacking 3 formations of bombers the other day. Coming up from below I was underneath them when they dumped their load.  :eek: Mesmerized by the falling ordinance above me I broke of as the bombs streamed about me.
   I do believe I've been a victim of a direct hit before and didn't want to repeat it.  :D :uhoh
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.

I was just under a bomber set once in my mossie... scared the daylights out of me when I heard whistling and realised I was in the midst of his dropping bombs.

The thing that scared the poo outta me once was when I was younger around 11-12(2005-2006), and I'm in my P 51 flying around this airfield we are hoarding and I see this flak round coming in from 11 o clock. I think no big deal, but it grows a bit bigger and i hear bang, I see blood and then I see the tower.

I like that kind of stuff. Its always cool to see them arching up towards you, knowing it will hurt you, but still thinking they look cool!
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

I saw an F6 smashed up and hung up on the bow of a carrier getting plowed through the water.
