What is the worst of the worst situations you can be in?
1) Being mainguned by a tank in your fighter..I know this happens a lot, still stinks when it does though
2) Having your AC shot down by the SB
3) Having your 262 chased by a 234
4)Trying to vulch the runway and having that guy parked on the runway shoot you down
5) ^^^ same as above, but augering
6) shot down by me :D..the noobiest of the noobs
Give some funny input

Don't forget blowing youself up with your own bomb.

"Don't move your controls so rapidly" after 5 minutes of intense, white-knuckles stallfight, just after I finally managed to gain advantage and begin to work on my gun solution...
-
In the middle of a good fight... Then for no apparent reason, frame rate drops to about 4fps, and I get to watch a slide show of my destruction.

Falling asleep at 3am and waking up at 6am with QWERTY on your forehead.
Everyone at the shop looking at me like.... :huh

Oh, lets not forget the numbers noob sending you a join request at the most inopertune moment.
Up pops the request in the middle of your screen.. :furious

Not being able to get my Aces High time is pretty demoralizing. :frown:
-
Demoralizing is driving an M3 to town who's base is under a BLANKET of GREEN AC and GV's.
Watch 1 lone IL2 up from the base...
"guys...get that IL2 I have troops and almost to town."
"chatter chatter chatter....I really vuched that guy...ha ha ha"
"GUYS....IL2 UP....Heading at my M3!"
"chatter chatter chatter....you #$@#$@# that guy was dead...why did you shoot him??!?!?....Kill Stealer!!!!"
"am not"
"r too"
"am not"
"r too"
"BREAK BREAK BREAK...I have TROOPS for the TOWN ...PLEASE KILL THE IL2"
"there I vulched that guy...try kill stealing him"
"STFU"
"you STFU"
"NO....U.....STFU!!!!"
"WILL SOMEONE KILL THIS IL............ka-thunk thunk thunk BOOM"
Then they wonder why I didn't bring more troops.
THAT ....is demoralizing.

Rolling a 262 (for only the 2nd time) only to collide with the hovering supply truck convoy crossing the runway.
5 Step Recovery Program-> :huh :furious :cry :( :rofl
-
This time of year...reaching the limit of squelches just as SqueekJr, ace918947652, and lolzOMG begin detailing their flight on country channel.
Easily forgiven if they take the advice and use range instead....unless you are in range.
-
Spending two hours singlehandedly defending a CV group only to be killed by your own puffy ack right after you disengage and try to land.
Or having an M3 sneak through the GV cordon and grab a base while you are on final after an epic base defense.
Or my favorite- an even matchup well away from the horde with a damn good stick and the servers start acting up, booting you both out after you FRs drop to 2.
-
Shooting someone's tail off, then getting shot down as their aircraft rears up on it's behind and the guy opens up with everything he has. I have been hit a few times by this, but only shot down once, when i was in a Mossie and the guy set me on fire with one ping.
Getting shot down by friendly ack or puffy ack while defending a base is also pretty demoralising.

RTBing with 8 kills in an F4U-4 while about out of gas, and about 5 miles from my landing approach, field in site, when:
*The War has been won by the Bishops*
Bases immediately change, and I'm now about 200 miles from the nearest friendly field and without enough gas to make it anywhere. I fly as far as I can out of dar so I'm no longer flashing the base and set down in the field to wait out the disco.
An enemy P-51 (NOT the country who owns the field) flies ~5000yds overhead, pursued by a friendly in a 262. Somehow that P-51 is outrunning a 262 travelling at over 500mph level flight. P-51 flies past, then decides to come back to pick me off, (the 262 still on his 6) and crashes into me. And he gets a kill on me 30 seconds before the boot to desktop.

Yeah, D3a is usually my answer to the fastest. Shame we don't have Km/h on the German aircraft dials, may be able to fool them that their 110C is actually doing 500+ mph.
Another demoralizing moment is getting a join request off someone you do not know. I usually up a jeep or m3, accept, then go on a nice scenic drive somewhere, possibly even base jump off some nice big hills.

What he said ^^
-
Posting mission, launching mission, disco, "This arena is full, please choose another."
-
dogfighting someone and having your vertical stab shot off taking no other damage i hate that always feels like the guy got lucky
-
Having your wingman bounced out of nowhere, then hearing him screaming on squad vox "Watch out, its Kermit!"
Makes me curl into a ball and cry every time. :cry
-
Last night i was doing some GV spotting at a V base in my Bird, and a M3 drove under me and in two snapshots my engine went my gear got hit and i got a pilot wound,trying to land i blacked out and hit a mountain.That's a film worth keeping.And whoever got that kill congrats.

getting my 8th kill in a B-24 then returning to base just to run out of gas and land 20ft from the end of the runway and ditch :furious :rofl

Fly over an enemy field that is being vulched and watch a spit16/lgay7 go wheels up, straight vertical for 4-5k, and shoot down your plane cruising at 350.
Same thing with above 2 planes going wheels up off runway and chasing down your 190/temp/51 that just did a 400 mph pass on the runway.
-
Don't forget blowing youself up with your own bomb.
I'll have to give people a pass on this one. One would think if it must travel 1000 feet to go boom on the enemy it certainly shouldn't go boom dropping it 50 feet.
Do you call this a "dumb" bomb?
-
Have a long fight against a good opponent, then some noob gives you a join request, and the other guy gets one shot right in the cockpit.
OR, have an advantage the whole fight, giving the guy nothing but rubber bullets, and you give him one shot, just ONE shot, and it goes right into the cockpit.
-
somehow touching your wheels down on the runway while blacked out then dying from the pilot wound before you can stop and /.ef

not an ah moment
But in armoured asault I called in an artillery spot and drove my tank right to the point of the barrage as it landed.
-
forgetting to open my bomb bay doors and miss my target :lol
-
Barely had enough points to fly the 262 that I had been saving up for. Took off and hit a tree...death. :cry
-
fighting one of ther better pilots, giving my all, thinking I've almost get the shot but push a little to much and stall/spin/auger. ugh
-
1. Taking a 262 for the first time this year, spotting a low F6F trailing a squaddie, lining up for an easy kill, %^$%^$&*#!!! compressing and giving the guy a proxy. :cry
2. Taking up a 51B, lining up a high closure rear-aspect shot pinging him the whole way and ramming yourself up the other guy's rear because darnit, you thought you were in a jug and it's fun flying through the debris of your opponent...
3. Letting 2-3 damaged cons land at their field during a sortie, later same night you try to up at a vulched field and get schwacked before clearing the hangar.
4. Losing calibration during a 1v2, stalling because of artificial right bank, getting shot down, bailing, getting strafed and killed after boots on ground. (In their defense I still had my .45)
-
Lighting up an F-4U with sprites prop to tail. He fell below my dash where I couldn't see damage and I got a kill. The kill was the proxy of another plane, I mistook it for his and somehow he still had a plane to shoot me down with while thinking I was clear. That's not the most humiliating, but this happened a few nights ago.
Here's a humiliating moment I gave someone else that he probably never knew. Given what led up to it, my most rewarding shot in AH ever: No One Here Gets Out Alive (http://www.staceyblood.com/ah/sd/films/190_out_of_gas.ahf)
-
Funny, I thought this was supposed to be a thread about humility, but half the posts I see are whines.
Mine would be forgetting to select secondary guns are releasing a drop tank, or running out of gas because I'm on manual control. Don't forget to laugh at yourself. ;)
-
:O How can you forget the good old killshooting yourself in tank town while holding 40 kills :rock
-
Brought an A20 full of eggs to defend a GV base, end up in a fight with a hurri at about 100ft off the ground and at about 300 mph. Dump my ordnance thinking I'm too low for it to go off, not thinking that I'm going awfully fast. Blew myself to bits :furious :rofl. Also caught on film by my CO and put on the end of the year blooper tape :O :lol

Being discoed in any perk ride or after a 30 min.flight to bomb a target(10 sec. before drop) :furious

Hitting a T34/85 with 5 consecutive rounds from 3000 yards, the fourth killing the turret and the fifth blowing it up, only to get an assist because the F4U pilot who put 400 rounds of .50 on it gets the kill.
:noid
-
Waking up, logging on, take off, get shot down... 4x over without any kills.
I logged off within 15 minutes.
Shortest AH session I have ever had. :furious :mad:
-
Having a good 1v1 with a better stick (happens most of the time to me) almost getting the kill and making some stupid manuver on my part and then I'm dead :(
-
Forgetting to turn off AIM or putting up an away message and having AH minimize while in a divebomb position and a message from my buddy says, "Whats up?"
Not me :mad:
-
Because of stuff like this..
Oh_#$!@ (http://www.ka4zzq.com/Nightmares/films/whyIshouldquit.ahf)
-
LOL. Reminds me of a time when someone accused me of making an "impossible" shot. We arranged a 1v1 in Hurri 1s and met at 15k. I got guns on him and removed parts but was low E and inverted so engine cut out. Stalled and floated down 10k in an inverted stall w/o engines. :confused: I had time to try everything I could think of before hitting the water :furious
Thankfully he was a gracious victor.

how about hitting a t-34-76 from 1500, 5 in a row, and not even turreting or tracking it?
-
Well, I had this turnfight.. we ended up going in circles until opponent finally cokked up and had to leave the turn... I follow at about 300y... we had literally been in the fight for 5 minutes and my arm was already stiff from weight training earlier.... I couldnt hit the easiest shot ever, i just couldnt move my arm/wrist it was just completely locked.. i sprayed about half my ammo, completely un able to aim then i over overshoot, we both stall speed, he augers a split second before me........
My gunnery is just terrible as it is unless I'm taking quick snapshots and their plane is all over my screen.
-
Yelling out over range that there are low bombers inbound...and it turns out to be an ant walking across my screen.

-
RumbleB, yeah, I couldn't hit you cause I had just done a big leg workout and was blasted from all the squats and couldn't get good pressure on my pedals for good turns and an accurate shot..lol
Bad one for me is when I pass a fight where 2 or 3 green guys are beating up a red guy and you fly on by without engaging so as to not be a ganger or picker even though you'd get an easy kill.. You lose a little SA and all of a sudden that guy is on your 6 putting cannon into you.. :huh
-
getting shot down by strong10. :lol
nah shooting at 3 planes, and missing. Then tould there was only one. :furious

Hehe nah it was in MA vs some randomer.
strong10? huh when what :]

Again, why n the world can you drop bombs so low as to kill yourself and at the same time they must travel 1000 feet to arm? Well, do they need 1000 feet or not?
-

i think that 1,000 feet travel is either horizontal, or verticle. i think the blast radius of some of the larger eggs is enough to kill a buff at 500 to 700ft alt. in theory, i think htat at that alt, going fast enough on release, they could travel 1k horizontal, and still be underneath you, thus damaging or killing you.
i could be wrong though.
-
We had a good sized bomber mission going of 6-7 bomber formations and we flew for about 10-15 minutes trying to get out of the darn mountainous terrain until we all crash landed on the side of a mountain laughing our heads off. :rofl More funny than demoralizing I guess.
You see a good 1v1dogfight happening and you sit and wait for the victor at only slightly co-e and 3-4k out not wanting to go for easy pick or other dweebery since you enjoy a good fight yourself. While waiting, another con comes in and mixes it up with you and you almost have him and then the other guy you left alone earlier comes in and picks you and he turns out to be a better player. :cry

Any time I take off?

Dropping troops at a V base and then watching from the air helplessly as a 1/2 dozen flaks roll out and start spraying them.

Know whats worse, crashing into it 2 times then having the pilot come back and own you.

Crashing into an afk plane.
haha I came back from being afk once and it said I had shot down Bigamer (back when he was named Bisexual gamer instead of Biggamer).
It also said he had collided into me. I had an irrelevant fuel leak. Poor guy.
Also my gunnery is quite clearly better when I'm AFK as I had infinity hit percentage that kill.

Heading home after a few kills, and hitting X ( at least i thought I did ), then going to take a leak, or grab a beer. Returning to screen, only to watch in utter amazement, how low I am, and compressing into the sea. This is typical of perk rides for me. :cry

Diving in on an enemy who pulls up, as you pull up your planes wings suddenly decide to take a leave of absense. :(

Theoretically you are right. 1000 feet any direction will get it done. But I've dropped bombs by mistake on the deck when trying to drop my ext pod and boom I go. I'm sure it didn't even travel 100 feet. Should have been no blast notification just like when you dive bomb too low and you don't hear the boom. Seems to be a real conflict going on here unless I'm just totally missing something, which is entirely possible.
-
Crashing into an afk plane.
Ha! I did that. Imagine what the guy had to think coming back and seeing a kill. Spooky, indeed.

That's easy..discovering Shuffler is a snappier dresser than me :rofl

Anytime Tralfazz says "Join us LLogann"
Dam dude, I have to go and explain that to people!!! Demoralizing to the end.
Other then that.......... lawndart a 262? Not kill 3 Lancs? My aim is off?
It's a game!
If you really want to know.............. It was '96 Kosovo. I'm not in the military, all the rough stuff was done. But for a good hour and a half I thought she wanted to come to America. Came to find out she was working. That, was demoralizing.

anyway. watching your countrymen engage in their horde wars as you lose bases to a handful of jabo pilots.
