Just curious. Dropped a bomb last night and it said I bombed a plane.

I have hit myself with my own bomb blast many times in the past.

What if a friendly comes in, can you killshoot yourself with a bomb?

This i myself am not sure of,and anything i would say would be an educated guess,but I'm sure someone will come along that dose know. :salute
(edit) btw i would guess yes.

I've dueled Redbull plenty of time where I've bombed him mid-air... Granted he ends up doing the same thing to me :|
-
Sometimes, if your lucky, you can bomb guys trying to come under you if you lose a turret.
-
haha, exactly that happened to me last year...
was about to shoot down a lancaster while he was calibrating his bombsight, but didnt have enough time to climb. So was just gained some speed and was trying to pull up to his belly.
Then suddenly... shhhhhhhh, <crashing sound>, tower... epic fail...

Oh yes you can. Welcome to the club. In on VH, got the VH! Ooopsss and myself... :uhoh

I do it quite a bit while in a Mossi. I believe it is the fact that I do a lot more high speed shallow dive-bombing rather than the steep °45 or sharper dive angle more commonly used in a single engine jabo.

Never thought about doing that.

Hmmm...has anyone ever put those bombs that the Luftwaffe tried to use to break up USAAF bomber formations on the wishlist?
I recall they were in SWOTL.

Were they ever actually used operationally?
Interestingly, that was what the Corsair was originally designed to do: Climb above bomber formations and pepper them with bomblets stored in the wings. That was quickly scrapped, though.

Yes. On large scale bombing raids we always tell everyone to spread out and keep your bombsights clear of any friendlies. If your bomb strikes a friendly, you strike out to the tower.

I was dropping bombs from a b17 on a bomber hanger, as the bombs exploded, a plane was flying over the hanger and died in the blast. This gave a laugh to all who saw it.

I've killed myself going too low to a bomb I've dropped. I've never been killed by bombing a friendly gv

Have you guys seen Glasher's film of him killing a set of Lancs that flew under his AR-234 with bombs

No it will kill him if he flies through your blast....I believe. :salute

Hell, I've actually been ASKED by a friendly GV to dive bomb them in order to knock out an enemy GV sitting next to them, lol.

One of my favorite AH1 moments:
In FSO (different event name back then) my squadron was supposed to spawn with loaded Jabo's, ditch the ords to provide fighter cover, then rearm and go Jabo on what is left of the targets. While the entire squadron of 12 (or 11?) was packed on the runway 30 seconds into the frame, someone released a rocket, sending the entire squadron back to the tower...
We respawned, took off and this time waited till we were airborne before releasing the ords - however, nobody looked down and again half the squadron was sent back to the tower after being hit by falling bombs or the blasts under them...
They respawned again. Later, the logs showed a huge number of deaths and illegal respawns that caused much arguments on the forums :)
Don't drink and fly.

Never egress from attacking bombers by flying below him on his bomb run. You can think about it, but dont you do it! :old:

I've heard that it was a successful tactic during WWII.
-
I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. Bombers killed friendly bombers because they were underneath them on the bomb run. I dont know what happens if a friendly bomber hits another bomber while bombing but I do know what happens if an attacking fighter flies into a bomb.
-
Got a kill last night from a guy who bombed himself.

Happens all the time when you are in a tank or chasing run90s.
