One time when leading my squad on a mission I miscalculated the required rate of climb needed to clear a mountain and crashed into it.
My squad being the loyal lot all decided to follow suit.

how about when your squad is workign thier collective tulips off to capture a vbase, all the while you're hiding out in the tree line waiting for the all clear to come in with your troops........sooo....30 minutes later, squad co calls for troops to the maproom, i fire up and run like all hellll(as fast as i can run an m3 anyway). get to the map room, and try to push the drunks out.......only to find a whole bunch of boxes full of cargo back there :O :O

Once I had just finished a porking run on an airbase. Not being one to bomb and bail, I headed out to where there was a friendly CV to land, dragging some low cons who upped to intercept me as I dropped.
I started my decent and was no longer watching the CV on the map, and I just caught from the corner of my eye in the gun position the the TG "warp" a little. No biggie I thought and I continue my approach. Once I'm back in the pilots seat I'm lining up I see the ack start to fire up and I think That's OK that should take care of those cons. I see kill reports as my drones disappear but I think nothing of it since there is 2 cons chasing me, I drop my gear and pop the flaps. I'm just about to put the wheels on the deck when it clicks "That's not OUR CV!"  :eek:
Turns out there had been a CV battle going on there and the TG I saw warp was the last of our TG re-spawning leaving the enemy TG very close by. I almost successfully put my Lancaster down on an enemy CV! :rofl

A while back I was flying the a6m for the first time in combat. I.e., I had no real clue what my flight envelope was. A slow, lonely, lurking P47 close to the deck was the target I picked. I was 4-5k above him and decided to do a full throttle dive attack on him. He just jinked like 50 yards or so :D... he didnt do anything more than that...
I think my plane desintegrated when I already was 200 yards under the surface (exaggeration to make it sound more dramatic, but to get an impression of the speed. Rays of light passed by slowly :D ).
