Use killshooter to your advantage.

Lastnight I logged off LMAO.

Lazs & I were winging as usual. We both agreed that this was our last sortie of the evening, so we launch, he in his usual F4U1A & me in the F4U1D and head south to the nearest furball.

After a kill or 2 a piece, we're both pretty shot up, so we decide to stay till we die. No problem I think, except I've got no ammo, lol.

With bad guys all around, we fly helter skelter into the fray. I eventually find myself on the 6 of a P38. I check my 6 and see nothing but red. There were so many on me I couldn't even read the icons, hehe. So now what you gonna do ace, I think to myself.

I've closed to within 150 yards from the P38 and the thought occurs to me. Wonder if I can get close enough to the P38 that the cons behind me shoot him and kill themselves. Worth a shot! I get so close to the P38, I almost ram him and start watching for tracers. Sure enough here they come! I drop just below the 38 and boom!! I get awarded a kill, hehehe. Of course I get it in the arse shortly after.  :)

Granted, the kill award could have happened due to one of the cons behind me shooting another behind me but it sounds better the other way since I planned it  :D

That was the funniest thing.   Course it was WAY less funny when earlier I shot up a lag just as you pulled in front of me.  I allmost had one in a row there.

I knew I was in for one of those nights when that happened. Ain't killshooter a wonderful thang? I not only got credit for the lag, I got you too,  :D

Besides, it's in my copy of the BK rule book personally handed to me by Hooligan and I quote,
"It is imperative that ALL lazs kills be stolen to ensure his current demeanor on the BBS & in the arena".

The best killshooter experience I have had was one night last week.  I was chasing a 205 and a Spit dives on me.  I knock the wing off the 205 and he starts to spin in.  The Spit had been pinging me good, and he took off both wing tips.  Well, he must have shot low because all of a sudden he explodes.  He shot the damaged 205 that was spinning in at about d250 in front of me.  Was pretty cool, 2 kills for the price of one, and I was able to rtb and land my damaged plane.   :)

I can only imagine the frustration of that Spit pilot kniowing that he had a ripe kill lost because of killshooter.

My favorite Killshooter occured while diving on two high B17's in close formation trying to destroy the knit HQ.  

I came in too fast on thier 6's getting minor pings on both, but not damaging either one. I pulled up hard into a loop to reverse and hit the lead 17 but both were already firing, so I rolled out and sliced down between them.  Just as I looked back the rear 17 blew up and the lead was breaking up and spiriling down.  

They shot each other as I passed between them.   :D

If Im on a nme and a friendly fires from behind me I will fly into there bullet stream to killshooter them.

Nothing more annoying then some spray and pray'r firing over your shoulder.

Also I kill the troops of guys who dont answer me when I ask 30 times who has goon then when I fly 15min to drop theres a guy ahead of me.

They deserve it.


I also killshootr guys that kill the fighter hangers at a capped/vulched field. Everything is ready for capture and Im enjoying a good vulch when someone comes to bomb/straff the fh I will either get to where their bomblast hits me and kills them or fly through their strafe stream.


Couple that with my quick run to ack at the sight of the nearest nme and the uncontrolled will to kill their chute after ack has shot them down.


Also I never pass up an opportunity to insult someone from AW.
