Title: UFO or WTF
Post by: Dragon on August 31, 2009, 05:14:41 PM

So I was cruising around the other day and saw something going faster than any plane should be and only had time to get two screen shots.  I do have the name of the pilot, but don't want to start a witch hunt unless there is no logical answer for what I saw.

I've only seen that icon on buffs I've shot down were the gunner bailed out.

Yup the "G-S" is a gunner. A rare glitch.

Rarely enough, you'll see a player and whatever vehicle he's attached to (in this case maybe just the icon) "travelling" at really high speed.  e.g. Between tower and spawn point.

He did type that he was going to bail, I have that in the next screen shot.  In the 5 years I've been playing, I've never seen it so just wanted to check.  Thanks

A couple of years ago I had a gunner in my A20, and I was moving at a good clip at about 5k feet.  My computer then locked up, the A20 disapeared, and my gunner Rayl49 was then rolling around on the ground tumbling at very high speed for like 60 seconds before going to the tower :rofl.  I didn't here this story till I went to work the next day but the way he told it was hilarious :rofl.  So he had one of those WTF experiences as a gunner.

I think that happens every time you bail out of your bombers while the gunner is still in there. I am surprised he got out, usually you have to Alt-F4 out. (Good way to deal with those random gunner requests  :lol )
