... After not firing my guns in my 38G and dying dozens of times, I figured it wasn't my night. So I upped a 39 and headed back to the fight. My little guy started crying so I told my squaddies I was afk for a couple enroute.
I got back to tell them I had to call it a night, only to find I'd rammed someone while AFK.
I'd like a ruling from the judges on this one, but I gotta believe this is a first

I accept the blame. It was I who "in haste, teased Shuffler on spiking Del's tires while he was in the latrine", accidentally hit your fuel shutoff switch and could not find the switch. You rounded the corner so fast I just figured I'd do you a small favor in lessening your "roman candle" habit.
Had I not hit the switch, you'd have had the optimum amount of fuel to have avoided the "AFK ram".

I did it in the AvA a few years ago. Went afk to take a leak and came back to find myself in the tower after colliding with some ace. I was also cursed for being a ram tard

Why? Do you think the guy who rammed you has a monopoly on stupidity? NOT! One question. Did he get the kill? That happens to me every time some Ho dweeb rams me. We both crash, & he gets the kill. I have accepted that anyone who rams me will get the kill, even if he hits dirt before me.
-
Why is it that it's always the other guys who gets the kill in a ram? That's my experience as well. :headscratch:
-
I have came back from afk to a message that somebody collided with me followed by, you have shot down that same guy....with follow on from that guy on what a ram tard I was. Made me day.

False Advertising.
I saw Guppy posting about "laying claim to a new AH first" and I thought he actually landed his plane.

Wait, wait, wait! He didn't say he did NOT land... he might have landed safely after seeing the white text in his chat buffer?
Guppy?

Well those shells do ram pretty hard :devil

Not a first...sorry! We had a squadie afk when a con came in on him. We yelled, we screamed, we filled his buffer with Check 6. No good. Then the con comes blazing in and rams him. When he gets back we ask him to check is buffer for damage and a kill message. LOL. he continued on the mission no worse for the incident.
Last tour I was flying along in an f6 looking for a gv to bomb. As I tilted to look a 190d clipped my wing. He flew away but eventually succumbed to injuries. I landed after dropping my eggs on a couple of gvs with no damage.

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
ahhhhh this is great.

This happened to me some time ago.
Some scrub crashed into my AFK plane while I was on climbout. :lol
-
I'm on the other side of this... I have rammed more than one afk plane :uhoh
-
I remember I ones rear-ended someone 109 :rofl at 500+mph

I've done that. Hahaha. :frown:
-
I think we've all done that at one stage or another. :uhoh

Yep. I saw a countryman collide into his intended target with a perk plane. I laughed. The next day I did the same thing in the same plane. I didn't laugh.
-
Wtg Corky! I can honestly say that I have never been able to do this myself. :rock
-
LOL Corky!
I have been the guy who rammed someone who was afk.
Luckily I think they didnt return before the buffer scrolled beyond it.

Now see, there you go again Dan, making the game difficult by flying straight, slow and in a climb. ;)
I've been both ends of this, been rammed while afk, and rammed someone who was afk (more than once, I'm a slow learner). :D

What I don't know is whether I got hit from behind or someone tried to HO me. I know the message said I collided, not the white message saying so and so collided with you.
I was 1K level when I went AFK. I'm assuming someone came in head on and drove through me, yet somehow I collided with them.
Good to know it's more common then I thought. It made for a good laugh last night and a fitting end to one of those nights where no matter what I did, I was going to end up cartoon dead on every flight :)
-
Well ok I'll say it...............
PICTURES OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN :neener:
-
Maybe this will make you feel better Guppy. I was once hit by free falling bomb after I took a pass on a set of buffs. The same thing just happened to Bruv last week. :D
-
I have been hit by a bomb while airborn two times.
-
It was Karaya's fault :old:
-
i WAS ONCE TOLD BY A SQUADIE STATING HE HAD GOTTEN THE INFO FROM AN ah SOURCE THAT THE PLANE WITH THE SLOWER CONNECTION USUALLY GETS THE KILL IF BOTH PLANES CRASH. ooops! sorry for yelling. :old:
-
I leave my plane on climbout all the time, nothing worse than being in another room and hearing pings and sprinting back in to see the screen covered in oil, its the highway to the dangerzone all right! :salute
-
Left it on autoclimb last night to take the dogs out. Got back and I was just over 10k, amongst a gaggle of red 190's. I sat down grabbed the stick and it was instant combat :D
-
I may have you all beat! I got a Pilot Wound while in a Panzer.
Most annoying experience ever. Can't land, can't get back to base. Just bleeding and blacking out waiting for the end.
What I was doing was experimenting with the seating position so I could look out the peep hole. I moved it way forward and said ha, now I can see really well. About that time a spit came in and pinged me for the pilot wound.

I have never been wounded in a tank & always have my head poking out the turret or drivers hatch.... :headscratch: :joystick:
