Way...and very possible  :neener:

You were hit by the Wirb. Run the film in external from the Wirbs position.

yeah? looks like that wirblewind is a[edit]very very[/edit] poor shot.
now look and see if lunarmax has killed me in a wirblewind this tour, and trust me when i say i got shot down by taz205 in the soft gun. crazy lob!

the weird thing is i don't see the soft gun tracers in the cut but it's there in the original.

doing an aileron roll at 390mph traveling away from your position? more like predictably straight, constant speed, heading toward your guns. not to mention the yak has 1/3 the footprint of a lancaster. sorry, not as impressive.

okay i take it back, i didn't go inverted, but it was a little weave.

admittedly, i was purely lucky to hit them.

 it was probably the same with the guy that hit you. he was more than likely filling the cartoon sky with cartoon lead/......just "sprayin n prayin"

Just because it's improbable, it doesn't mean it's impossible. As long as the round exists it can hit. If it hits, it will kill.
Each tour, there are millions of shots being fired at distant targets with low probability of getting a hit at all. Which means there will be such freak hits and kills. Why do people always think low probability means it can't happen to them at all?

Pick the AAA vehicle/gun.   I'll get you regularly from 2k-3.5k.   "Way".

Fish62 nailed my Chog as I was in a rolling siccors ecleast 3k from the field and at 4,000ft. He is an AMAZING shot. Ive died to his manned gun/osti quite a few times. (Not meant as a whine, more a compliment.)

The other day I was shooting at a shore battery about 3.6k away in a LVT4... and this LA7 just happens to fly by in front of it and my HE shell just happened to hit its left wing, ripping it clear off.

Maybe it was just dumb luck..

I call BS. I know from personal experience its impossible to hit anything in the air from anything on the ground unless its less than 200 yds away. Even then its more luck than judgment. All of you claiming otherwise - particularly those of you who have shot me down are cheaters and haxers  :furious

shuffles off to contemplate gv ineptitude
