Oh, and here’s a funny one (as that seems to be a running theme). Not so much an achievement as a funny story:
Most long-time AH players know that flying with a squad and razzing each-other on vox is some of the most fun you can have in the game. And a common thing to do is to try to have each squad member land at least 2 kills all together as a squad.
On one of these particular squad nights my Wingman(Lead at the time) could only manage assists after his first kill. He just couldn’t get to 2. Everyone else had 2 or more and we were are all trying to set him up, but to no avail. No matter how many times we dragged cons or let him attack first or whatever we tried he couldn’t get kill #2. We even had enemies auger, but the guy dragging would get the proxy! This just made us laugh harder and naturally the ribbing was brutal. This just made matters worse (as we all know flying frustrated is the worst way to get kills).
Finally we are flying around as a group of I think 6, and here we come across this Yak climbing from a base -- and clearly he’s AFK. “There’s your chance,” we say. “Go get him (squad-mate who will remain nameless)!” Finally he will have 2 kills (as he was carrying one).
So, he dives in, starts shooting, and there is the “explosion puff” of a plane! Our squad-mate disappears while the Yak is still there. So eager to get that kill, our squaddie collided and blew up! Meanwhile the Yak flies off. And to make matters worse, the Yak got the proxy kill on our squad-mate! We are all howling with laughter on vox, which almost drowns out our squaddie, who is reciting every curse known to man. We still laugh about that one from time to time.
Sometimes it’s just not your night.
