As many late night map wins I’ve helped, still haven’t gotten the troop that won the war, someday maybe.

I still have yet to get the troop that captures a base. Haven't bothered to try in over a decade, and I don't see myself trying it again for another one.  :airplane:

Then there is the goy who landed near an enemy field, taxi’d to the edge of a hill overlooking an enemy field, and sat there rocket vulching.

Only about the 3rd or 4th time I’ve heard this mentioned in my combined years… funny either way  :rofl

I’ve been killed by bombs taking off, not as funny  :(

One for the books! Definitely very weaksauce. IOS thinks that’s two words btw - but we know better

I got it in an M3, but it disappeared when I finally let my account go due to certain reasons with the game

Well now that sounds like a lot of fun.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

I had that happen once. I was doing a zoom climb under a bomber in a desperate attempt to kill it before it dropped.  The bomber dropped, and I died.

I once saw a picture of a real life B-17 with a hole in it's tail from the bombs being dropped by the bomber above it. So it did happen in real life.

My greatest accomplishment was killing a goon mid air in a shore battery but this would take the cake
