I dunno why but I dig this screen shot. I've never managed 3 in one pass, I think it would be tough to pull off in an MG only bird. I bet some guys flyin cannon birds have done it though. Anyone? Screenies?

I got two 25s in one burst in the first frame of the current FSO when the second warped in front of the first. Unfortunately I was not filming.
-
Best I've ever gotten was two as well, I think the vid of it is in one of my old AH Movies.
-
I got three Ar234s in one pass* using the Mosquito.
* "pass" being defined as "I dove in behind them and blew them all away as I lost speed, but still had a bit of overtake on them."
-
I got 3 ju-88's with a chog a long while back. Great whinage.
-
I think it would be impossible to get all 3 of my buffs at the same time. I'm the 2nd best gunner in this game.

and the #2 modest eheh, (#1 modest is B4Buster)
:devil
-
Got 3 one time in an F6 coming in from the front. Came in at relatively slow speed. The only thing I could think of was I must have gotten the pilots or something wrong happened with game play. Any way they all exploded. I was shocked. No pictures though and therefore no proof.
Say Steve, was that twentyfo? :rofl :rofl

How did I know Bronk, or someone, would post that screen shot? :devil
-
I've seen film of a 262 taking out 3 lancs in one pass. I think it was furball IIRC.
-
Sko got 3 zeros in one pass this weekend during SEC
-
:rofl Bronk
Nice shot steve. With a cannon bird, tempest, mossy, 262, etc....its pretty simple to pull off if you get lucky on your placement.

Nice screenie Mechanic. :aok
Getback I would have loved to see that film.
My screenie was not of twentyfo, btw. There was a whine afterwards though, because the pilot was unhappy that I shot down(vulched, he called it) his bombers. He was on approach, I was the only bad guy in the area, just couldn't resist. I'm a moth to the flame when it comes to going after buffs. Win some, lose some. :)

I got 3 b24s in one pass with a hellcat. 90* deflection shot with rockets lol. years ago, haven't done it since. and of course no SS.
-
nice

I can believe this, rockets hitting bombers usualy do alot of damage.
Watch this short film of Krusty's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqTYvqw68Uk
This quite clearly wins the competition so far :O
there was also some epic footage of Goaly dive bombing a set of lancs in ju88s at about 10k up.

Well since you seem determined to make this thread about you, fine. That's no photoshop. That's straight out of the text buffer.
Too bad no screeenie Texas, that would rock.

I could easily replicate that.

I was in B-26s once, in a sea of red, and had an IB 262 coming from the side. I had a 190 over me and thought I had enough time to spritz the 190 before gunning the 262. Big mistake. The 4 30mm's chewed up all 3 bombers in one pass. :huh

If you don't take that off of this forum right now, I will report you to Skuzzy.

No but you are just as guilty for spreading this propaganda.
I enjoyed you a lot Steve, until you started posting this stuff. I was even going to let you wing with me. Not anymore. You're going to have to earn my respect back.
-
Yup steve is all broken up about it I'm sure. :D
-
I think that if you ho buffs and kill the lead buff pilot... keep the trigger down. The drones warp into the bullet stream.

I'll post the film over at flamewarriors but not here out of respect to Skuzzy. This thread isn't about you, please stop trying to hijack it. The original screenshot had nothing to do with you, as I've already stated in this thread.

I film everything these days.
One of the cool things I use to do back in the days of AW was line up for a buff, no formations, and then slow my f6 down to full flaps. At about 100 mph you could swivel that thing like it was on a turret. So you would get some great head on shots on buffs. Keep in mind HO's were very limited in AW. Most planes could not HO. Now I tired this in AH once and only once. I went down fast.

It's a bit early for thread of the year but, Steve managed to get kills both with a joystick and with a keyboard. Amazing...

It's a troll. No one's that numbskulled.

this is my first time getting two in one pass, the first pass took out middle
(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w246/fieldsofink/firstpass.jpg)
this is second pass, I took out the one on the right first.
(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w246/fieldsofink/2ndpass.jpg)
and one for the fun of it, flying through his debris

beautifull plane choice there ink :aok
-
Iv got three kills in one past before. I was flying around in a 190A8 with 30mms a few years ago and spotted B26s right in the deck. I come in co alt with them from their 3 o' clock and put a 30mm in all three of their V stabs. The drones blew up and the lead flopped over backwards andslamed into the water. I don't think I have the AH film anymore but I did put it in one of those movies I used to make.

That, and wingtips used to be easier and guarantee a kill for each plane. I used to barrel roll around formations and nail a wingtip with a 30mm + one or two 20mm on each roll.
-
Bull*hit.
-
The one guy that would remember it is NOD from H2H. He'd asked me to repeat it over and over on his B26s because at first he couldnt believe it wasnt luck, and then so he could practice defending against it. Nowadays it's nowhere near as easy because of (either or) that granularity thing and the AH2 handling/ballistics, and people know how to gun a little better. Anyway, rad hits in the 152 are just too much of pita. It'll piss me off enough that I'll kill the whole formation, but it also ends the sortie which isn't worth it for just a bunch of fluff. Much better to find a real dogfight.
And I think I remember wingtips not being a lethal wound anymore, at some point. I definitely remember being disappointed when I saw bombers manage to stay in the air despite losing a wingtip.. I haven't used that tactic for years now, and I don't think I'd have given up such good tool if it weren't defunct.. gonna have to try it again to be sure. I must be getting old.
-
Bull*hit.
moot's 30mm aim is disgustingly accurate, and his TH152 flying is second to none. I'm gunna call true, on instinct. :rock
-
I believe Moot with this one too, I can do it with my 38.
In many ways he is better equipped for it, where I need to keep my nose on the bomber to be able to down it in my 38, Moot only needs to drop his nose for a brief moment with the 30mm/20mm match up.

550mph+ pass, IIRC
-
I got 3 B-17's in one pass in a 109-F one time w/o gondolas, cockpit shots on all three. First one exploded, 2nd warped into its spot in the formation, it exploded, 3rd warped into it's spot....I never even had to adjust my aim. :D
Unfortunately, I was not filming. :cry

Of course you didn't have gondies on a 109F...
-
our old 109f had gondies as an option
-
Ah, now I understand. I want Gondies of F4 now!
-

No you don't, they made the 109-F fly like a fat pig. ;)
-
I have gotten twofers in a Tempest before. But I think the most memorable was a group effort. Two squaddies and myself were in P-51ds flying in a V formation when we came upon a set of lancs. We dove in while in formation and shot our respective bombers. All 3 vaporized on that pass. The poor guy never even fired.
-
well i have never managed to shoot down an entire formation in one pass......or in multiple passes come to think of it. but if i still had the film i could one up all of ya! how many of you have managed to collide with all three planes in the formation and one of its escorts in one pass?
huh new it! none of ya! you dweebish amateurs!
i burned into a formation of bombers (26's i think) at wing creaking speed and as i approached they turned under me closing my passing distance. as i tried vainly to pull out of the dive, managing to get my nose just level, i clipped the top of the nose of the closest bomber bounced forward and up i hit the top of the fuselage of the middle bomber (now in a staggered line due to the banking turn the formation was making at the time), losing my wings i then rolled (yes rolling head over azz) down the body and being flung off and right into the tail of the third bomber. the impact of this third hit tore off my tail and bounced what was essentially just a cockpit with a bent prop into the air behind the bombers and directly into the path of a 51, flying escort for the bombers. he had dove in, in an attempt to intercept me when i first began my attack run on the bomber formation. he wound up with what remained of my 190 in his cockpit killing him instantly and blowing up his ride.
i had 4 collide messages and a kill for the 51 pilot.
the bombers i believe were piloted by oldman or old"something", the 51 jockey was a numbers guy. i no longer have the film because of the update in AH2 that wouldnt let me play my older films. i dumped all of my older films because i didnt know there was still a way to play them. it sux cause that film was awesome, funny as sin, definitely worth watching 2 or 3 times.
:rock
-
No you don't, they made the 109-F fly like a fat pig. ;)
Not really, it made the F4 fly like a G2. I stopped flying the F4 once they took the gondies off.

3 24s in 1 pass with a yak9U.. swear to god I only hit each one time but all 3 caught fire.. I fired something like 20 20mm total and flew off and waited for them to pop. havent had that good of luck since.

I've done it too many times to count in the 190A-8 and the 110G-2 (3 in one pass that is).

well like I said, I think it would be tough to pull off in a MG only bird. Do you have a screenie one of these too-many-times-to count passes?
I think it would look cool.

No because I never film but I'll try to get one over the weekend.
As a practice there are two efficient methods of getting three on a single pass.
The first is to pull alongside the buffs and slightly above about 2K off their wing. Roll into them and as they continue forward you will come in aligned with the drone and the lead buff. Take the drone and the lead in-line, then turn for the final drone.
The other way is a little more dangerous. Come in from almost co-alt six crossing slightly from right to left to force the gunner to lead. Take the left wingtip of the left drone first then align on the right wingtip of the lead buff. As you do the right drone will cross across your gunfire as it moves to the left giving you near simultaneous kills on the drone and the lead buff. Obviously, if the guys a good gunner this one's tough as it requires you to reduce closure rate and sit in the gunfire for a few moments... not for the weak of heart. The caveat is that as the right drone moves across the lead buff guns get temporarily interrupted so if you get that far you're golden.

i've gottin 3, 24's flaming 1 time was'nt in 1 pass though

Does this count?
