Title: The man, the myth, the legend........
Post by: Zoney on March 29, 2012, 01:01:49 PM
So.............
I'm flying along last night, 20k in a fresh P47N, and lo and behold, what do I find just off my 1 oclock at 15k?

B29's

Theres a squad of 6 guys about 2 min away from me so I call out and give them a heads up and attack.
First pass, meh, too excited not good hits but some and I set up for the second pass.  BOOM, Killed 999000 !
Trying not to panick I set up again as the squad of 6 friendlies close in.
I say "It's 999000"
One of them says "Whats the aircraft ?"
Me "its 999000 in B29's"
Him "whats 999000 ?"
Me "This guy is the best bomber gunner in the game, be careful, do NOT attack from his 6", as I watch them close in on his 6...
Him (Laughs) "Well he's scared now, theres 6 of us"
Me "Dude, those are B29's and it's 999000, do not attack his 6, attack as a group."
Him (laughs) "But there are 6 of us...."

Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom

All dead.......and I just turn my plane and fly away with 2 kills...............

he has killed me every single dam time...except once, I saw low bombers coming in to a town...I flew towards it as low as possible dodging trees to get there, I came up from underneath and took one out....999000......I was  :x :x...but kept going and didn't attack the others I knew I would not get lucky again. :rofl

I caught him low once in 17's, I dropped in from high 12 and got 1 good cockpit shot from my P47....999000  :O

He shot me a quick <S> Nice Shot!


I knew better than to turn around and try again, ran home like a happy little school girl. Score = 72 to 1

While it is possible to beat him, you have to attack him right.  If you make a single mistake while you're in range, he'll clobber you every time.

I always look forward to trying my luck against him.  It makes me a better bomber fighter.

I once made a successful attack on him, scoring a kill on one of this bombers without taking too much damage. I quit while I was ahead and didn't go back for seconds or thirds.

I was in a 262 once, flying roughly 9k into a horde and seen low B-17s, some friendly went to attack him I said "tell me who it is if it kills you".... next thing I see is "BOOM!" - oh its 999000.

My 262 kept on going.

Zoney, Your quite a humble gentlemen and a dang good fighter pilot. Truth be told Zoney got all 3 of my B17's last one cracking up on landing ..I couldn't get the airspeed  or gear down with both elevators shot out. The group of 6 109's did have me wetting myself..it is the right plane for the job and I'm really not as effective in the B29 guns.
<S> Sir Zoney!

Shot down 999000 quite a few times using the technique of climb directly above him 1.5k, then dive straight down, aim for the cockpit or wing, repeat.   :aok    :)

He is very good though, come in any other way.... Well.... :uhoh

999000 :salute :rock

 :rofl  Earlier in the current tour, I got one of his B17s.  Like you, I decided to be satisfied by my accomplishment and leave the other two bombers for others to enjoy!

once in a 262 I went in on his B17 from low climbing on his 6 (only because he was distracted with another fighter) got 1, yelled to squaddies "ITS 999000!" and we all left those bombers alone after that...  :bolt:

Triple 9ner has been shooting me down for about 20 years. I met him trolling for fighters in his B17 super sized spit in Air Warrior. If you ever see him up in a fighter kill him fast. His first move out of habit is to jump into the fighter's rear gun....hint, hint , hint, wink wink..nudge nudge.....hehhehehehehehehe.. ..

 :O Turn 999000 upside down and you get 000666 which is exactly the same as 666.    :uhoh

Do not approach him upside down.  Do not approach him upside down indeed.   There's a debil behind those guns smiling at you.   :devil

That's cause they stay at around 30K most of the time....

I have 2 kills on 999000 this tour...  It was nothing special really, or exceptionally hard.  

(of course he was 10 feet off the deck in B17's headed to the town to bomb the M3 that was about to let troops out)  :neener:

The B29 wabbit requires 35k and then Zoney is the only threat provided he is in his P47M........... And has Wiley with him.

when I was a rook, whenever i saw a b17 i would always check the roster to make sure 999 wasnt on.  and if he was, i would just let it fly by.  it took me about 100 deaths to learn not to mess with him.

but my funnest fight was when i was new and I dove on these set of b17's, i came in from a dead six and he was afk, i opened up and got hits all the way till i crashed into him and died.  he never fired a shot and yet i was dead.  now that is what I call a skilled gunner  :rofl.

9's knows when it's JG11 attacking him.  Over the years I guess we about even.  Patience gentlemen...you must make 9's choose who to vaporize...

If no squaddies around ... let the friendlies climb up his 6...and position yourself accordingly.
