Title: strange landings
Post by: theace417 on January 20, 2008, 11:56:11 AM: i don't know if anyone else has experienced this and im new too so who knows. Last night I was coming in for a landing and my nana came in and scared me my wheels slammed into the ground and broke. The strange part is I flew off the side of the funway and came to a stop. Then thinking of losing those 3 kills i clicked end sortie and it said landed successfuly. HAs this happenned to anyone else

Came in on a glide to land at the vbase and hit a tree on my way in, skidded to about 3 feet from the runway don't think any part of my plane was on the pavement, and figured i wouldn't get the landing. I got it and was surprised. Happy too, can't complain haha, but it was a bit odd

Another time I was coming in under similar circumstances. I came down on a bad angle and skidded until I was dangling over the side, about where the AAA guns on the port side are located. Keep in mind I WAS still on the ship. Towered out and got a ditch.

I only wish I still had a nana or two.

And yes, I've gotten landings like you describe and even once where I bailed out.

I was thinking the same thing.

My nana would scare me too, but my nana was spooky.

My regards,
