anyone ever in on nme, hit it, watch the tail fall off, then move to next target, only to find out that it was only a flap and he ends up 400 off your 6?  happened to me today, wish i would film stuff.  oh well.

Stopped relying on the size of the bit that falls off as a guide to what is hit. Just keep hitting till either they go boom or a wing comes off.

He stated he watched the Tail come off, not a specific size of debris.

yeh... i know exactly what u mean,....  fire guns , see flashes, see several large pieces of plane chunk off,  plane may even wiggle like outa control,and he is going down,  then I think to myself ,  enjoy the dirt, dirtbag, pull off the guy, i think is dead, because i just saw his tail go past my cockpit..... look around because tracers rip by and the guy must be a lizard because he just grew a new tail,  or something.. never seem to get good look at his plane because im to busy exploding at the time,,  then he hits my plane w/ 1 round and knocks out 1 rivit,..   yeh!! i said 1 rivit and im the one being called dirtbag,  because my whole plane is gone, next stop,,.. tower  or im in chute seeing the lizard man fly off into sunset.....   has happened 3 or so times.....  no biggie for me though, i'm thinking im just a bad judge of tail sometimes...  for sure after 2am,  who aint eh?  lmmfao.........   2 rivits maybe!
