idk :( i'm fairly new to the game, today would just be my first week of playing the

and everything else was fine:p

His X-Y coordinate is over concrete, so yes, it makes sense.

I don't have screenshots, but...

One time I was bringing in an F4U to a carrier with engine damage. Short of landing my engine cuts out and I'm trying to glide her in. Unfortunately I lacked sufficient airspeed and fell short, and bellied in on the carrier's wake. But when I towered out, they credited me with a safe landing. :huh

Sometime before that, once again on a carrier landing, either I misjudged my lineup or the carrier turned at the last second. I struck the deck, skidded and bounced, and ended up dangling nose-down off the side of the ship from the AAA batteries. I'm hanging suspended by what I think was my tailwheel and one gear from the deck railing, but still ON the ship. They scored THAT as a ditch. :furious

Think i've had three interesting landings; Sad to say, no screen shots


1: Was over enemy base capping and ran out of fuel. Decided to try to land or bellyland into Ammo Hangar until base was captured. Went in, broke off my gear and wings. Slid to hault between truck and far left wall (left as you look into it) I was there for about 10 minutes and end up getting three proxy kills until the base finally was captured

2: Had to belly land but was at bad angle; bounced off one ammo bunker wings ripped off, hit FG and somehow end up leaning against one of the BHs

3: Crashed landed in P47 unto CV; and was at 45 degree angle (engine straight down to water with tail up in air); other words, just dingling so how i didn't fall off, dunno

Landed my Hurricane on a CA during Fire Over Malta after the CV sank, but ditched.

(Might've been a riceburner in Coral Sea too...too late at night to remember. Was something slow.)

Pffft!  You act like this is out of the ordinary!

SAPP P38 pilots have been landing like this for years, and in formation no less! :)

I've had many a harrowing landings where I landed okay in the end, but everything up to and including touchdown was scary. Like missing a wing and missing control surfaces, making it harder, or missing flaps and a wingtip, and so on.


Landing a P-40E with 1 flap almost full down, the other almost half down, and both jammed in place, THAT was interesting. Not so hard, but definitely interesting.



Once I was in a spit8 and with some squaddies. We were 10k and bounce some bombers. I take an instant pilot wound and remember there's a CV less then a sector away! I black out repeatedly, even on final, hear a lot of noise, come out of blackout sitting on deck, gear and many other parts gone, but alive! I somehow slid over towards the tower and it stopped me.

drug testing to commence immediately, proceed to the oddball hangar for urinalysis.
