A couple weeks ago (before I deleted account) I was flying around in my -4 and saw a Jug...
I was just about to pull the trigger and I noticed he was AFK. So, I got in a nice tight formation with him and was just below his plane. I flew with him all the way to his target (my base). If I had the video I'd show it but that was before the patch.
He did not even notice me until he got to the base...he rolled inverted to look for cons...and there I was...If you've ever seen Top Gun...it looked kind of like that (when Mav flips off the guy in the other plane).
Just thought I'd share.
-
Went up to 45K in a P51B(afk) come back and i went lvl back to the base.Was going about 425+ I see buffs and dive in.Looked like easy kills.But i did the thing on dogfights w/ the german raming the bombers...was funny as hell to me.
-
Decided to fly a Dora with my buddy one day at around 16K heading home after a successful buff hunt. By the time we got to 14K, an enemy La-7 shot off my wing during decent. I thought that I'd might as well see how long it takes for me to spin wildly until I crashed to my doom.
At 3K of alt, I saw a P-38 and didn't think much of it. As i plummeted, It just happened to change direction and what d'ya know, I crashed into that ol' P-38, gaining my 3rd kill of that ill-fated sortie.

My friend was in a b-17(with drones) and I was chasing him. I had some shots on him but didn't kill him. He had autopilot on and was in the tail gun trying to unload every round on me, but he wasn't prepared for what happened next. While he is in the tail gun trying to kill me... WHAMMMMMM! right into the mountains and i get all three kills at once!:rofl :D
-
As above - B17's.
Saw a con formation after my drop so chased him down.
Yarrrrr! Broadside at 200ft sepration.
-
Had just helped secure a V base in a B-25H, and was flying cap watching for GVs. Spied an Ostwind, and unfortunately coordination with other friendlies didn't work and he clipped off both my tails with one ping. As I'm flat spinning down, somehow I'm dropping at SUCH a low airspeed that I belly it in, not more than 400yds away from the Flak.
Too bad my turrets stopped working on impact, as I could have easily lit his turret up.
-
Recieved three proxy kills on a flight of B17's desperately trying to kill my goon. They all slammed into a hillside.
-
I was tryin to get basck to base in my P47D40 and a spitfire started chasing me. He started to catch me so I started to weave back and forth. Somehow we got into a scissors and as I leveled out to accept death ( I was still 1 full sector from base with no friendlies at all nearby, and I had no speed at all with him 200 off my six and couldn't shake him). Well I level out and he rolls right pulls in behind me and looses a wing! I look at text andit says "***** has collided with you" :lol . What a lucky break for me!
-
Took a single AR234 out one day to go drop some radars at the enemy's forward fields. After I hit the third field I see this P-51 diving in on me. Seeing as how he had a big E advantage on me I pushed over for the deck and started running for home. As I come over this small hill I realize I'm heading right at an enemy base. Just as I'm about to turn a little so I don't have to fly through the ack I see a formation of Lancs taking off so I figure what the hell. I scream right down the middle of the runway at about 10ft doing over 500MPH. I fly under the Lancs and then pull up right in front of the guy and open up with my 20mm rear guns and put a burst into the cockpits of 2 of his planes and down them. Can't remember who it was but man was that guy pissed. Came up on 200 cussing me out. I laughed all the way back to my base and landed them kills.
-
And what happened to the P-51
-
i did shoot down Fringe in a 262 and i was in a 234...that was funny watching him cry on 200.
:rofl :rofl :rofl

One time I took a single AR234 with the gun package and caught a P-38 with the pilot AFK - I got into formation with him - right in front of him - and waited... Suddenly his wings started moving as he prepared to shoot me, and I immediately opened up with the rear guns and blew him away - was only funny because I was right in front of him for about 5 mins before he came back. Can't remember who the pilot was, be we both had a good laugh.

I didn't do it but it was funny as all heck to watch. I was in a M8 at a Rook base waiting for the the Panzer to catch up to me and de-ack the place for capture. out of no-where a rook 110 dives in on the bas and starts bombing hangers and then strafing them. on his third pass or so he flys right into a tree and explodes. I didn't have the heart to tell him on 200 he augered while shooting at his own base.

I thought about learning ACM once...but decided, Nah, I'll follow the La pilots book.
Step 1: HO
Step 2: Run

Actually shouldnt it be
1) HO
2) RAM
3) Run if you make it out alive?
-
I think Step 1 is climb to 30K to cherry pick. Then it goes...
Step 2: HO once you've lost your cherry picking
Step 3: Ram everyone once out of ammo
Step 4: (also can be used at any time) if you're about to be reversed, hitthe deck and turn on wep.

I once lost a 118 kill streak(from the start of a tour) to the tail gunner on a AR234.
Yup, I know there isn't actually a gunner there... just a gun..... sad isn't it?

How To Kill A AR234:

That's it for class, for homework try not to die. :lol

I got murdered trying to killed a set of 25s in a 234.
I went under them and pulled up and opened up with my gun...10 hits and I'm down from his nose gun.

I was in a 190-a5, being chased in a shallow dive from hi alt by a p51-d. The Pony was slowly closing on me, from bout 1.5k, and I noticed another pony ahead down below me. The lower pony nosed up on me, while the pony on my six was still closing. As the pony on my six closed to 600-800 and just started to fire, the head-on pony below me was just as close, so I rolled hard starboard. The pony on my six kill-shot himself by unintentionally shooting the head on pony! The lower head on pony actually flew through the debris of the guy who was on my six!! I also got the proxy kill. I regret not having the camera rollin on that one, as it was one of my favorite Aces High moments.
I also recieved 7 proxy kills while chasing a formation of buffs into a hillside. There were a couple other fighters with me and they got 4 and 3 if I remember correctly.
-
Ar234's are me primary CV sinker. I always bomb calibrated and looking through the bomb site I dropped a perfect line stem to stern. As the bombs were in the air I see F4's appear on deck and start to roll. It was a mission just launched.....with me bombs inbound.
4 guys made it of the deck and some towered. I got the cv and 4 deck kills ......timing:D

You can not truley call yourself a ROOK until you have bombed your own base! It's just our way.

The other day three of my squaddies and I upped heavy 38Ls. We were hand flying a beautiful little box formation on climb out. We all had our film on and were just trying to tighten it up a bit. Suddenly one of the guys saying, "Breaks - 109". We all turn just as bullets start flying. Turns out a 190, LA7 and 51 snuck up behind us while we were screwing around flying formation. They got two of us. We got them all, but it would have been funnier if that one guy hadn't seen the 109.

Heading to land last night with two mossie kills and started to type a message. I hit enter and the messgae didn't come up so I pressed enter and then enter again just to see my Mossie flutter out from under me.
I guys I should have type / right before I thought I was typing my message.
:eek:

Change the key command for bailing... maybe to alt-enter... it happened to me a time or tow.

I chased a set of 234's ina D-Hog for nearly 3 sectors. As he was getting out of icon range he came on 200 to heckle me a little bit and tell me I was wasting my time and to eat his exhaust. I caught up to him while he was making his landing approach and downed his formation.
Didn't get to land them, he upped an LA-7 and chased down my wounded, low fuel, low ammo bird

Didn't I see this same thread in the Free Multiplayer Forum?
:confused:
-
accidently pulled the stick to hard in a 38 went in to some crazy spinning stall causing the 2 guys behind me to collide into me and die. I landed 2 kills.

Never thought of that. Thank you.

This is more of a practical joke.
The year was 2003, and the location was the West-Coast Mini Con in San Jose. We had about 30 or 40 guys.
Anyway, it's Friday night and we're all drinking heavily, and I get the idea that it would be funny to record the sound of taking damage (you know, pings and then things breaking off) as a MP3 file, and then feed that MP3 file into the Area VOX channel, and see what happened. I thought we'd need a few PCs and some audio cables, but then someone said it could be done in software.
So someone download and installed some software that let you feed any windows sound output into any windows sound input, and one of us killshot the other with 303s and 50s and we recorded the sounds of impending doom - it sounded like popcorn, with all those little bullets.
Then I went into the main area and looked for the biggest furball with the most friendlies, flew into the middle of it, started the sound software, pressed the VOX button and cried out "Look out! Check 6!!" and then played the MP3 into the Microphone input.
I didn't realize that there were about 20 guys behind us in the room looking over our shoulders.
Ho ho ho!
Huge laughs erupt around us as pretty much every friendly around us started weaving, dodging, and generally getting the poo scared out of them. Two augered by accident, I believe.
It all happened so fast that no one saw who was transmitting on VOX. Folks were chatting for a few minutes about all hearing the same thing at the same time, but not actually receiving any damage. Someone suggested that a joker was doing this exact trick on the VOX, but others said it wasn't possible.
We were giggling at that Minicon all night over this.
I almost shudder to think what other people reading this story will try next...

I had a similar thing happen.
Chasing buffs once I saw they were headed for the mountains. I stayed about 1.5k out to make sure they had little chance of actually hitting me but close enough to let them think they had a chance.
Just before they hit, I typed into 200 "Don't turn around.." I will assume they were too embarrassed to respond.
Funny thing two was getting 3 GV proxies in a C-47 just after landing troops at a V-base. While I was unloading the drunks, several GV’s were trying to defend. My squad mates kept them focused up, while I landed and rolled up to the map room.
Just after the map room went boom, the ack shredded the 3 remaining osties, I got the kills.

Your gonna think im lying, but this really happened (i wish i got this on film!!!)
I up a Hurricane 2C and headed for the furball close by. i get 4-5 kills and i was low on fuel, and closest base was a v-base. So im flying over the v-base (real low and slow) and a 109 dives outta the sky. I Didn't see him til to late, and somehow (not sure how) he clipped both my wings. Im falling completely vertical (plane is still level, sorta like landing a helicopter) so i deploy flaps and gear (i was over concrete).
Long story short, I landed verticly in a hurri and landed my kills. I just remember that 109 pilot whining on 200, no clue who it was though.

This one time, in band . . . . .. err wrong story. I was over a field one time and tried the old goon ready to drop trick. Since no one upped, I decided to hit a couple of guns. Next thing you know, the field is deacked. Well, no one is upping so I land my plane and park it on the rearming pad and turn off the engine.
Next thing you know, a nice shiny P51 is getting ready to roll. I start my engine and get behind him. We roll together with me following at D100 or less. As soon as the gear game up I guess he looked back because he tried to pull up hard but couldnt, lol. I think I put 200 or 300 BBs in him just to make sure he could still hear the pings in the tower,
muahahahahahahah

In a furball and after downing my 7th assist, I finally get into a position where I can get a kill. Low on the deck and slow, I chop the tail off a 51 and pull off thinking, "Yes, finally a kill". Looking over my wing I watch as the 51 skids over the water comes to a stop and disappears..... He gets the ditch..... I go home and land my 7 assists.

I think we all can relate this one.

Fighting over TT on the Isles map, get into a decent fight with some red guy. I'm not entirely sure what we were in, P51 and Yak, 109 and yak- anyway, different planes, comparable planes/pilots I guess. Fight gets nice and slow over one of the mountains. Suddenly, he skids in on the side of the hill, and I wheel hard around to put some rounds in him before he can ditch- and stall and crashland next to him.
Instant karma. :furious

getting 67 kills in an osti parked in the bushes near the runway..only 2 were legit as my turret and track got knocked out right away... i sat and snickered as the next 65 augered or dropped eggs to low..the cursing PM"S were an added bonus

Something similar. Flew a 190 to Knit base, just as I arrived, a Lancaster mission spawned. I dropped my 500 kilo bomb into the pack on the end of the runway... 24 kills.
Shot down a 234 with a TBM. He was flying on a reciprocal heading, on the deck. I was at 5k in the big Grumman. I timed a split-s perfectly and hosed it with the two fifties.. It simply exploded. Did the exact same thing in a Hurricane once too.

Fractured the big toe on my left foot last night when I caught it on the carpet running for the phone when a telemarketer woke me up from my nap on the couch.
Oh, wait... this was about the game...
I was in a Spit XVI on Mindnao chasing some JU-88's by the city north of the east bay. I got 2 then ran out of ammo. Messing with the guy I flew directly under him and held position 80 yards directly below him as he manouvered trying to find/avoid me. This went on for almost 5 minutes before I broke off for home.
Another time I was up in a set of Lancs high. I got in a turn fight with a Pony and as I started to lose the fight I dove for the deck. Turns out the enemy airfield was right in front of me and I still had 6 bombs left so I leveled a bit and let em go on a wing and a prayer hoping for some type of damage. Next thing I see in the text buffer is six kills :lol

Flushed a M80 down the second story Toilet in high school... it exploded over the freshman english class....taking out a 3 ft long section of the sewerline.

LOL I did that too... every other game you hit enter to chat and the first two times I assumed I fat-fingered the enter key or something.

Well...if anyone can recall the madness when HT first brought out the RV-8's during the Con last year...hehehe
My squad and myself were upping from a base right after HT switched the RV's from our side to Rooks...so, the 6 of us...I can't remember what the others were flying, but I had a 190a8, got ambushed by around 25 or so RV's. 3 of us got out alive, and I landed 14 kills. :)

About 3 week ago I upped a c47 to capture a base which my squad mate called in flat. Almost half way though I was NOE I spot a dot at my 12 also coming NOE. It was a 110 I gained a few in alt in anticipation of the inevitable Ho that was coming. Made him miss then he turned tried to get on my 6 but I kept coming in angles on him making him miss.
Two min pass by we finally end up going in a left circle and I would see the rockets armed 110 200 of my 12 not going anywhere near my 6. Finally after 2 or 3 circles near ground level he breaks and levels out to get some separation. I think to my self what a NOOB I’am going to ram this guy and decide to follow him. D600 he puts the thing in autoclimb and fires with his rear gunner get’s me right in the cockpit sending me to the tower I couldn’t stop laughing.

i had milk spill out of my nose once
all over the guy sitting across from me :rofl

Upped a goon to resupp a base- the funniest thing I did was to go AFK and get shot down. It was funny to challenge Dastrdly for the better part of an hour to reup and go at it- after shooting me down
Wouldn't take- after much time he got to insulting Lynx- at which point I know this kid's a no skill dweeb (pardon my quote SkyRock). After Lynx politely tried to correct him, he insulted me numerous times- but wouldn't DA or reup MA. That to me is funny- $15 a month and you're scared to fight. Hilarious.
