What are some of the things that are possible but almost never happens in AH?
And who has done it?
(feel free to add more)
1. 8-Inch/5-Inch HE guns shooting down planes.
2. Three+ planes collision.
3. Nailing a plane/kill during your death spiral (lost tail/wing)
4. Killing someone during a blackout from pilot wound. (Spray and pray)
5. Killing planes with GV's main guns (happens a lot, but still a lot of luck/skill involved)
6. Killing planes/GVs with the M4/75 Calliope or the Sdkz 251 rockets.
7. Killing a plane with a chute.
8. Killing a tank with a 50kg bomb (has to be a *direct* hit)
9. Getting killed by friendly auto ack/puffy ack. (Not as rare but still doesn't happen a lot)
10. One hit/burst kills from .303s
#3, #5, #9, and #10 has happened to me.
-
Number nine happened to me, when i was in a 262... right when got those B24s looking for my CV... chopsuey!

Done all that at least once, best was having my tail shot off - I started to spray and nailed the guy who picked me, took his wing off.
Only thing I haven't done was nail a plane with a 5 inch (shore bat), however I got nailed trying to land on a field with an I-16 :furious

You should add this one to your list:
11. Died after hitting a bomb in free-fall. It's happened to me twice. :uhoh

I've done 1), 2), 5), 6), 7), 8), 9), 10). And I've seen the others.
If you've been in AH for a while, you see and do some crazy stuff. Best thing I remember seeing is a strat raid getting screwed over. A total of 3 bombers got some objects destroyed (and only a few of them) before the strats moved.
Best thing I've heard about was a solo I-16 busting an entire mission buy inadvertently vulching everyone on takeoff. The Rs-82 rockets were fired at what looked to be a single aircraft, and everyone else appeard miliseconds before impact.
Best thing I've done was get a mirical pilot shot at ~800 yds on a Mossie in a high angle deflection shot with a single burst from my 7.92mm's on the 190A5. Just goes to show you, nose thumbing will sometimes do more than make you feel better.

Same. Tec posted a film once of his Me163 getting killed by B17s dropping bombs on top of him.
-
I've killed a few guys with the shore battery by lobbing shells to hit the ground near them as they fly at 50 feet above the ground.
I did get someone in a 110 point blank and the explosion from the shell made a bomb crater in the sky where he was.
-
Killed a whole set of high Lancs with 1 HVAR rocket fired from a TBM. :D
-
Killing a plane with a main gv gun while the gv is on it's side. :D
Killing a plane with a main gun of an M-3 GMC. :devil

Was killed in mid air (5k+) by bomb dropped from enemy bomber. LOL!
-
Killed a whole set of high Lancs with 1 HVAR rocket fired from a TBM. :D
Had my tail blown off by a p51 in a 110G, the way I tumbled nose up, I fired off the rockets and ended up killing 3 of Manawar's Lancasters.
surprised he never said anything about the luck of the shot.

It never happend. If you don't believe me, all you have to do is ask him :D.
Apparently, hes the only AH player never to have been shot down in actuall combat (it seems duels, 1v1's, furballs, bombers, GV's, and anything not a field gun doesn't count as combat).

I was the leader of such a mission, except we didn't get to drop on the strats at all. :rolleyes: Bad timing makes me all sad face. :frown:
-
Way back about a year or so ago, i shot a round from the shore battery and hit a CV. 15 or so kills from that.
-
Nice. I've done that type of thing, but not to the same extent. I got something like 5 kills in a Ju-87 when I was CV-busting, but not quite as epic as yours.
-
Dumping my ords at around 10k because I got attacked. Ords then proceeded to land on an enemy field and vulch an upper.
-
Before they added the white trails to the 8" I got hit by some at 6k or so 20 miles from the CV.
-
I did get someone in a 110 point blank and the explosion from the shell made a bomb crater in the sky where he was.
That was me, I remember it well... :aok
Has anyone got film of a kill with 110 tail guns? I've heard a few say, "oh yeah, I've done that," but you know what they say....film or it never happened.
-
I had a drop tank whiz by my canopy once during an FSO event. Funny thing was I was at about 20k and didn't realize anybody was above me. Scared the bejesus outta me.
-
Had a shore battery kill my 262 once. Not sure how.
-

No film, but I claim to have been a victim of a 110 rear gunner.
More than once... :uhoh

I've got one with the gunners of the TBM from tonight...
-
i got at least 15 planes with sb when cv parked right in front of it.
12. most killed while rearming 4 with just short burst from spit9.
13. most planes missed while vulching runway. whole fricking mission upped as i was diving to kill ack. strafed runway from one end to other only one who died was me. did it twice so far.
and i got 3 vtards with gunner from il2.

No film either, but I routinely get a kill now and then, now a 110G is far different then 110C no kills in it, I did splash a La5 in a Stuka during an FSO event.
However not all the damage came from me I'm sure, the kill seemed a little to quick.
I've had dogfights in a 110G and carried a rear gunner, while turn fighting my rear gunner would light him up as well, can't remember if he landed the 2 victories or not, I know he got one.
-
I have one: air to air kill with a B-25H on a fighter using the 75mm. I've seen it done, but haven't done it myself.
-
- once a TBM rocket hoed my jug and won
- about 3 months ago i shot down a b24 set in a b25, from 2k+ with the big gun. Used 4 rounds, 3 were hitting. Insane luck, nothing else. yea poor dude called me a cheater instantly
- long time ago, was letting my little brother playing. He upped a typhoon with rockets to intercept a B24 set. He emptyed his ammo load, but guess, couldnt score a single ping. Then he fired his rockets and turned over couse he got oiled. Imagine his face when he realized he could hit 2 from the 24s... his first two kills : )
- tonight could hit a Dora's face with an M18 main gun. He could fly away with an oil leak.
-
:noid :noid Did someone say Naked? :x :x :x

Without a doubt, Glasher killing a set of lancs in his AR-234 by dropping bombs on them. Seriously funny chit.

Done that quite a few times... but then again I fly the H more than most... or at least I used to. And its usually because the guy in the fighter decides he wants to HO me. Bad idea.
The best was taking out a flight of lancs one at a time from 1.5 k behind them with the punkin chunker. Only been able to do that one time.
-
I love when idiots try and play the HO game with aircraft FAR more heavily armed then they are. Especially tater armed planes, since its a guaranteed 1-hit trip to the tower.
-
1,5,7,9,10 all happened to me... the #9 one was in a F4U-4, chasing some B24's.. already had like 4 kills, they came over the CV and puuf, buh bye wing :furious
Better than what happened to brody though... I haven't taken a 262 into any puffy since that happened, learned my lesson! :bolt:
-
I've seen a film of Bat doing #3- killing a plane as he was tumbling,lol

10. One hit/burst kills from .303s
#3, #5, #9, and #10 has happened to me.
#3 we were both in the vertical he was like 20ft off my tail and he took my wing off and i fell into him, #4 spray and pray #5 all the time in M8s, #6 board one day while on R&R and spawned a gv on the tank island on that big island map, just countiously fired rockets from my VBase to the bish vbase and ended up getting a few kills. #10 i was in a C.202 and a typhoon went vertical directly infront of me, got 1 burst off and hit his cockpit.
-
I was being chased by 3 Pony D's once in a C202. I had pinged all of them up pretty well in an epic 3v1 but alas, no fatal damage. We spiraled to the deck and finally I was bled out of E and had to straighten out. They lined up on my six. I had no hope left so I bailed and popped my chute. I capped the first one with two .45's in the wing and off it came. :O The next one in line, I shot in the cockpit - insta-death. The last one circled out wide. I landed on the ground and he came in to strafe me. I pulled a brilliant 2-D reversal and got on his 6 immediately. He ran of course, but I was running as fast as I could chasing him. He got away in typical Pony fashion. :mad:
I would post the film but I was borrowing DrSpek's computer that day...

Once I killed a jeep with the landing strut of a JU87.

I once took out 3 b-17's with 1 shot from a Shore Battery.

I've killed plenty in the main gun of a tank. A month or so ago we were getting marked by a yak as we were driving and I saw it coming from behind and went ahead and raised my turret up before he arrived and boom 400 yards out as he passes I got a "fuseman" lol he pmed me and said I deserved that :salute Fuse best shot I made was a 1.5 shot out on a IL2 moving from left to right with my main gun shocked me.
-
Here's one from the biggest "Fail" department, in my wisdom - I enjoy running M-16s next to enemy fields to shoot down La7's and Spit 16s to rack up easy perks. One guy tried so hard to kill my M-16 in his Spit16 I ended up killing him 4-5 times. So he upped an Il-2 then got shot down, then upped a B-25, after a few passes I shot him down and didn't think much of it.
ping ping ping - Dead. he bailed and in his chute ran over and killed my M-16!
So I then upped another m-16, head back and this time BANG! killed by a Panzer 4, same guy.
This time I'm like alrighty newb, lets go - I up a Panther and roll towards his field - bad idea since an IL-2 is busy hovering the spawn, after 100 rounds of 37mm, no damage is done, the Il-2 lands - next I see an A-20 that salvos 8 on me and completely misses. All this fun and I completely forget the same new guy runs a Panzer out to the spawn, and is less then 400 in front of me - except I am to busy looking at aircraft.
First 2 shots he fired, bounced off Glacias plate, I fired my first shot but I was dialed in to shoot down aircraft, and threw a round over him.
He calmly moves forward at full speed, as I am waiting to reload, pulls up beside me and shoots me.
Back to the tower I go.
/Fail......I guess I should of been naked.
-
MANaWAR shut up once......
That's a lie. Everyone knows that will never happen.
-
A new first for me today. Nailed a moving F4U from 2K out with a B25H. :rock :rofl Much LOLs ensued.
-
4 or 5 years ago i was once pilot wounded by a droptank........then the preeeekk dropped down and killed me while i was blacked out!
on one of my early days, when i was still newb enough to think that vulching was funny i boomed into a field egg heavy as part of a B.O.P. base jump mission and there were 5 uppers all in a group on the runway. because i didnt know how (still dont) to bomb properly i did the only thing i could think of, screamed into the runway almost vertically aiming my plane at the group hit the release button, got the "you shot down #1-#5" messages in the buffer just as i augured into the runway right where my bomb just exploded.... it was funny as hell considering i had be playing AH for about a month or so.
last one, i killed 7 Muppet's in a single flight.
wish i had saved the screen shot, i was in the DA with a bunch of fellow Muppets pretending i actually had the talent to belong in this squad. well after an hour or so of killing each other (ok ok an hour of being the only moving target on the practice range would sum it up better) i had somehow wound up as the only bish in the air at the field when the 7 muppet's who were knights decided to head to the MA, they all bailed out at the same time giving me 7 Muppet kills in the buffer all in a row.........they were only proxies....but hey the rush of pride looking at my screen and reading "you shot down Grizz, Sunbat, Jetsom (Ink to some of you), Irishone, Agent360, Sunsfan and Scotch" was priceless! :D
was gunna post the screenie in the main forum with a wild story of glorious combat in which i single handedly took them all down, despite their best efforts to attempt to gang and in desperation HO me down.....
knowing that i had the only proof of the event, which i could slant in any fashion i wanted, would have made it just the sweetest of pranks. unfortunately RL got in the way.........
-
Killed a whole set of high Lancs with 1 HVAR rocket fired from a TBM. :D
:aok I've done that with multiple HVAR rockets in air a couple of times. Sheer luck!
-
Here is one I did one time intentonally try but succeeding by pure blind luck.
Firing from the big guns on a CV on your own town using map aiming only , And killing the M3 trying to take it.

#3, #5, #9, and #10 has happened to me.
Here is something that has happen to me twice, die in mid air by a bomb drop from a bomber. Once in a P-51 that a bomb drop by a Ju-88. Just like a deer in zone into the headlight, I just watch it come down and cross in front of me and boom. Dead. The second time was in a 262 climbing up to a B-24. The SOB just drop a bomb on me and boom. Dead! :rofl
-
Sat in a SB at a vulched field and got a lucky kill on a vulcher flying around
-
Does me landing 2 kills count as a 1-in-a-million-chance?
-
I have video of a #1, three kills in two shots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMRcqXZYYbM . I was on the leaderboard in that scenario frame... thing was all my kills were from the ground :lol
But the most one-in-a-million thing I've done was in my Yak-9U, chasing a bunch of planes chasing a friendly, I dove in behind and got two P-51 kills in one .5 second burst of the 20mm. I was aiming at the one nearer to me, got a cockpit hit, and the extra rounds got the guy further away from me as well, also a cockpit hit. Both were P-51s. I'll never have that happen again.

Ah, you dick. You really had me going there for a second :D.

One of the funniest kills I ever got was years back flying a K4. The map was just about to reset and I was RTB:ing in a K4. Noticed a Ju87 coming towards me much lower and I only had one 30mm left. I pulled around and dropped my nose straight down and and let go that one single 30mm from 1.5k above him (saw the distance when I was banking) without even seeing him under my nose. Just a careless toss of remaining ammo and pulled back up and started back towards home base and within few seconds got awarded TWO kills. :huh
-C+
-
i took a 5"er from a manned cv at around 3k out on the deck in my 262. I just stared and stared at the screen for a very long time
-
The Arabian Knights rotate countries each month. A couple of months back, on the first, I see a dot coming towards a CV. I up in a 5 incher and see a Stuka headed in. At 4K I start tossing rounds in their general direction. At 3.5K a luck shot connects and they go boom.
I look down and is says "You shot down AK****" (name withheld). He forgot it was the first....
-
Flew a 262 over the base to defend, arrive and target an F6F near the field, close to 400 at over 500mph, friendly field ack shooting at F6F pings my pilot for an instant trip to the tower. I was just pulling on the trigger as well.
I've died hundreds of times to friendly puffy ack before, but never from a friendly ack gun.
-
This was a few years ago, but I nailed a low con with the shore battery. Apparently there is some shrapnel in that water spout.
-
I've had lots of these moments.. a few of the best can be found here

One of Pigs-on-the-wing mission off a CV. 15-20 of us in the mission. When we all OTR, an enemy bomber hit us two seconds later and killed most of us. Perfect timing for that bomber.
-
Years back I dropped a single bomb on a cv and got 10 kills instantly. Seems a bunch just decided to up at once.
-
saw someone nail a formation of Lancs with 8 inchers one time
-

lol, I know that stare.

#1 (kill by 8-inch cruiser guns) happened to one of our bomber pilots in the scenario "Phillipine Phandango", I believe. There was a guy manning them who was quite a shot. Here's a pick of him firing toward us (from the cruiser in upper left), but I don't think I have a pick of the kill he got.
(http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201008_philippinePhandango/pics/frame4/008-drop-Image-0012.jpg)
-
Yeah, that was ridiculous. I remember him getting something like 4 kills with that damn 8"er :bhead.
-
I main gunned 5 planes last night in one life.
I do give credit to the poor shots in those Il2's, B25's, and 110's :ahand
Eventually one of them got my T34 but was lots of fun.
-
I'll tell you a one-in-a-million, daddkev flying with his clothes on. Just ask him, he will make sure you know.
-
This is probably the most entertaining thread I've read for a while...
I once had my tail shot off, then my plane went straight up and the two baddies that were shooting at me flew straight into me. 2 proxy kills before I fluttered to the ground. :)

Years back I dropped a single bomb on a cv and got 10 kills instantly. Seems a bunch just decided to up at once.
When the B-25H came out, me and few decided to de-ack the CV to vulch it, at the time one or two kept upping and the fighters made short work of them. It was a small task Force, I can't remember if it was a single CV or not (most probable) - anyhow we got it de-acked and someone decided to land on the CV with a B25, back up and wait for someone to up, instead he crashed into someone taking off and died.
I dove down on the deck confident whoever upped was going to re-up, instead out of no where a mission ups with a half dozen F4us and F6Fs.
I fired a single 75mm on the middle of the deck and took out roughly 4-5, strafing down a few more - some one in a zero got off the deck and sprayed me down.
/Now for bad news, entire mission upped while only 2-3 were left playing with the CV, we ended up LOSING the base... I forget whose gasket blew in the tower, I want to say it was DrDeath - he was in fighter mode trying to "vulch" planes taking off and was shot down and blamed everyone for dying.
Ah good times :)
-
Flying a C47 underneath a low set of enemy B17's by a hillside, his guns frantically blazing at me- not paying attention to where he was going. Hence, three spectacular explosions, and landing my kills at a newly captured field.
-
Not sure if this would qualify as one-in-a-million or just dumb luck. Either way I felt pretty good about. <S> CobraJet that was a blast.

:lol this reminded me of that Knight (I think?) raid on the Bish strats in B29's (B17s maybe?) right after the B29 was released. Right as they dropped their ords the strats moved. No damage done.
