Title: Yes I did something stupid.
Post by: Tigger29 on April 17, 2011, 05:51:24 PM
Flying around in a formation of Lancs the other day and dropped my bombs on a base.  On my 6 o'clock I'm watching two planes come up to me.

The closer of the two was a P51 and almost on my dead 6... I'm in the tail gun watching him creep closer and closer...3.0K, 2.5K, 2.0K and finally 1.5K and I've got my finger on the trigger getting ready to light him up.

Right then, BAM BAM BAM!  All three planes blow up and I'm sent to tower.  At this point I'm so angry.. I'm thinking "what a cheater!  ZOMG how can he blow up all three of my planes like that at once!" but then I recomposed myself and got to thinking that maybe there's a more logical explanation.

So then I'm thinking maybe a rocket or something hit me?  I figured what the heck... so I PM'd him and asked him how he killed me like that from 1.5K out?

His response?  "You flew into a mountain!"

I would be very unhappy if I was that pony. He could have got 3 real kills that would have counted in his score and he would have got perks, but instead he just got 3 proxys.

Understand that! I've almost done this more than once. You know you can auto climb from the gunner seat right? It might not have mattered...  :aok

 I remember watching Thndregg fly along low in a goon once and a flight of 17's were so intent on killing his goon that they slammed into a hill like that..  Thndr got to land 3 kills in his C-47 that day. lol

Any of the old hands still have the film from Shegotya's infamous bomber mission where 20-30 some odd pilots all spawned in the hanger then tried to roll straight out and launched right into the mountain killing most everyone involved in the mission?

That was a classic. :rofl

Now that I think about it, it might have been Betty that ran that mission.

Oh Tigger, that's one righteous bomber sortie story! Funniest thing I've read
in months. Thanks for the cackles. :)

I've gotten six buffs on two sorties that way in the past.  It's always funny to watch it happen.

what map was this on Trinity?    

I remember one time being up in a pony and saw a huge dar the other side of the vbase canyons.   Thinking to myself I'll have some of that action.   I got a little lost in the canyon myself trying to get to it without sufficient altitude,  popped over a ledge into where they were headed turned right to see nothing!!!  

I was like   :headscratch:  what happened to them all?   Mass disco or they all crashed into that wall.    :lol
