During a test run of the SAPP tactical armored unit, we ran into difficulties while trying to get through a wooden fence.
Yes I know it's a P39 but there were 38s on the roll, literally, with me. I felt that the 37mm of the P39Q needed to be tested in the anti-tank role. Thinking the fastest route between two points is a straight line, I rolled my 39 past a house, thinking I could easily chop through a little wooden fence with my propeller.

But no! I get my nose through and the 39 attempts to climb the fence

Naturally the fence doesn't give, the P39 does, losing both wings and main gear while starting on fire. Note SAPP P38 in support of my 39

Sadly the 39 was out of the fight without firing a shot, but undaunted the P38 continued to roll to the fight. So what are the fences really made of? :)

:rofl I wish more people would do odd and awkward things like you guys. I've never encountered one of your raids yet.

How on earth could you encounter one of their raids when they cannot get off the ground????

The plan was to sneak up on the enemy armor and shoot em. They can see us coming in the air. We were going secret super stealth ninja mode. Bastages made the fences too hard!

I think its funny that the fence took out your engine but it didn't ding your prop at all.

Just think of what this crew would come up with if they were high or drunk. :O

<S>
to all y'all in SAPP
You have a very creative nature about y'all. :rofl

Well Hello......The trees in AH are made of petrified wood, and thats were the wood fences come from. So naturally they are going to be like stone walls. :D

Thank you for the morning laugh. Good initiative gentleman, not necessarily good judgment! LOL :lol

Our version of NOE.....

What's sad about this is I did the same thing and killed an OSTY once by sneaking up on it and killing it with the 75mm. I got within about 30 feet of it and slammed on my brakes which forced the nose down and allowed me a shot.

This is clearly a case of account hijacking. There is NO WAY that is really Guppy's plane -- even though its smoking, all the parts are there and there's no fire!

Coming to a base near you...:D

Just an obscure reference and sign of respect to the greatest AH squad that never was :)

Guppy, I've always wondered: what's the trick to always getting your planes to catch fire?
I've often tried, but only succeeded in a buggy Rhinewin terrain when my Jug crashed landed on an invisible hill, and I fired a rocket to see what would happen.
In the resultant frame rate drop, I got to see my plane on fire for the second before I got my arse kicked back to the tower. :D

I just make sure my crew chief leaves the fuel filler caps a bit loose. That way there is a stream of gasoline flowing back across the wing to begin with. A tracer hit and boom, you are on fire :)

Yossarian, sometimes even his quote doesn't have to happen. But the "crux of the flaming issue" is to "look good while it is happening". Corky has a leg up on Hooch.

Oh don't mind him...he'll give it back to you good as new...err...*cough*

Actually, you can't see a lot of the impact fires in-game. If you make a really rough landing and film it, in game you'll see nothing but broken pieces. Watch the film and most likely you'll be burning. That's why if you ditch and sit there long enough you seem to randomly explode.

Funny thing is after Dan crashed into the fence I took off with flaps and was right in the fight. :) I heard him over channel say what he was going to do, and was trying to tell him it wasn't a good idea....but Dan the determined just had to have his way :) I like how when he got about halfway there, we realized that he couldn't turn around, lol.
We have a good time, and don't take much of anything seriously. So tanks beware, we're coming to you! :devil
