Taken down by a falling bomb

[toddbobe]

Tonight was one of those nights that I will always remember. I was in my mossie rising to intercept some B24s... much to my surprise I was in the bomb stream and one took off my left wing... that was a first... in 17 years.
Hat tip to Bad10 for the precision bombing!!

Same thing happened to be a couple years back… at first I was like  and then I thought about it and laughed my arse off.

The bomber used to get an achievement for that i don't know if that still happens

[nrshida]

It's impressive that that is modelled tbh.

My brother once took out a hurri2c with a supply drop from a Fi in mid-air.

Still haven't gotten over that one

Would that be considered weak sauce? Asking for a friend.

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

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

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

There was someone in the arena about 2015 who was able to do it more than once.

I hit someone years ago and it was pure luck. I think back in FSO years ago one of our squaddies was hit by another squaddies bomb. We were that close in formation lol

[Frodo]

Yea Mols it was Hopper who took out half our squad. I remember him laughing hard so maybe it was intentional. 

Morf might remember more details as he mentioned it before.

Lol, I flew with G3MF years ago, one of the FSO missions, had us in bombers. As we approached the target, somehow I got above our CO Rodent57. When I dropped my bombs , I killed him. He was not happy.

[Shuffler]

I dropped one bomb in a CV once and got 10 instant kills. A F4U squad spawned just as my bomb hit. I was told they all laughed about it. This was some years ago.

I’ve been bombed out of the air a couple times.

Here’s an interesting titbit that is even less common…

If you touch an enemy pilot, you both die in a collision. We both bailed (squaddie and myself) after a duel in the air and decided we’d have a pistol duel. We were going to walk 10 paces and turn and fire. We both died when we backed into each other and touched.

I’ve tried to drop bombs on bombers whenever I was traveling heavy and found a low one. Have yet to hit one.

[JOACH1M]

The amount of times I’ve swooped in under bombers in a 262 while they were unloading bombs has gotta be over 30+ I figured it wasn’t even possible considering how close they were while zooming up… guess I have been lucky my whole life on that one!
