We get these planes to do some crazy things. I think it would be fun to know some of the extreme things you have done in these planes and scenarios. I'll seed this with mine:
- Successfully landed a plane on a battleship after our CV went down and was outta fuel.
- Successfully landed a plane on an enemy CV. Did an end-flight before my plane was killed by ACK.
- Successfully downed bombers in a Ju-87 g-2. Silly fun bomber hunting plane for me on occasion.
How about you?
-
Managed to get someone to fight, even though there was a slim chance they could lose.

Nobody has ever done that in Aces High. :old:

I did not think it was possible. That never stops me from trying things. I flew it just above a stall, just before I got to the edge of the deck stopped the engine and pulled back on the stick.
For me that was crazy improbable! :eek:
Maybe others can do it routinely. :salute

I think he meant you didn't get a "You have landed successfully" message, meaning you in fact ditched according to the game.
-
Yeah if you land on the cruiser you only get a ditch, unfortunately.
My favorite recently was landing on a CV with no elevators. That was fun lol.

There is no battleship in Aces High. ;)

And you were rigth with that, as nobody has even ever seen a battleship in Aces High :neener:
-
1-Was flying a Stuka and got caught by two ponies. Dove into a canyon, they followed. Left the canyon dripping sweat and two scalps to land. Fun!
2-Drove my Wirbelwind inside of a tracked enemy LVT while pursued by enemy tanks. I racked up multiple kills as they shot at me repeatedly but hit the LVT. Fun!
-

Yep my bad. Cruiser.

Recently i discovered you can snap roll a B-29 while flying a set with 50% fuel and 40-500lb bombs without snapping the wings, stalling, or loosing any drones.
I dunno does that count? :x
-
My first kills with the new Ju87-G2 was two B26.

that is pretty dang cool :aok

Out ran a me163 in a TBM, in that same sortie got in a dogfight with a hurri and a p51 and got them both. Got jumped by a pair of tempests in my 202, get 'em both. Unintentionally killed a p38 in flight from long range with a shore battery. Used to practice shooting bombers in a flakyak from beyond the range of their tail guns, 1.5k ish yards. Parachuted on to a colossal pepperoni pizza in the shade of a giant shiner bock beer. Killed a giant squid.
Oh and took off from a cv in a me163 in the main arena.
-
I forget who I was with... but we sunk all of a CV groups support ships in B25s then vulched the Carrier and made it back to land the kills. :D :bolt:
-
I once landed right next to an enme v-base and hung out while a storch looked for me, found me, landed next to me, started shooting at me, I bailed and ran over with my 45, kaboom.

Yes!!!!!

No successful landing but you can perform a dead stick takeoff when the CV turns because the cruiser speeds up big time.

I made f1nucane auger his Spitfire last night while he was trying to close on my Pony D from behind. Left snaproll at 800ft with a recovery that pulled me high right made him go boom.
Nobody uses the P51 to its utmost abilities :)
-
Doing a backflip in a jeep and landing on the wheels. have done this a few times now :D
Getting a Jeep on top of the tower.
Landing an 800 yard shot on someone with a tater and having it actually kill them! :x
-
I intentionally killed a P-38J using a C-47. Used the terrain as my weapon and his greed over the "free" C-47 kill to bait him into an nonrecoverable flight position resulting in controlled flight into terrain.
-
Land 262 on a carrier...
Actually I tested it once for a scenario to check substitution of Hawker Sea Hawk. AFAIR with reasonable wind it was quite possible to takeoff from a carrier. Landing was possible as well but incident rate was too high.
-
This is great stuff guys.
I'll add another. I was dueling a Zero low in a P-40. He was gonna get me. I was low and slow. I dumped the flaps, wiggled between a few trees finally skidded on the ground. Looking to my right I could not believe what I saw. He did the same. We'd both landed on a partial incline of a hill and his plane was directly to my right (45 degrees) just feet from each other. It was hilarious! :lol
Delighted with this unique circumstance we agreed not to get pistols and get out and duel. Saluted each other and went on our way.
-
I've forced many an overshoot by dropping gear and driving on the ground for a few seconds before coming back up and shooting the other guy down.
-
Once accidentally ditched a P38 into the ground on an incline while 1v1ing another plane. As I sat there with my nose pointed in the air, I watched the bandit flying closer and closer to my pipper. Pulled the trigger at the appropriate time and shot him down.
Also once got a safe ditch on a 262 with no vstab, just floated down from 20kish like a leaf and skidded into the water.

Landing a B-29 on a CV, still need to do it for an enemy CV and need to get it into the CV hangar.
-
Rudder and vertical stab broken off of my 163 from collision with KI-67 at 30k alt. Floated down, hit the ground, broke up and turned upside down. I was very low on perks, too far away from my base to ditch, and bish were about to win the war. So just sat there until bish won the war and got all my perks back. :cheers:

1) In a formation of Ju-88's, reversed and killed a Spit without losing a drone. I pulled a complete loop, this caused my drones to warp and he went after them. I dropped out of the loop onto the Spit's six and shot him down with my forward gun. Never left the pilot's position and didn't lose a drone. (Most improbable, unrealistic and cheesy move ever, but one of those "wonder if this can be done" things.) Had to be a serious WTF moment for the Spit driver.
2) Killed a set of Tu-2s from 4K away with a Shore Battery. Hit the center bomber and took the inside wings off the two drones. Probably my most improbable single shot ever, given the distance (4K), deflection (30 degrees), direction of travel (away from my position) and the result (killing all 3 birds).
3) "Landed" (successfully ditched) a Storch on top of the Radar Tower. Thought it could be done, but it took many attempts, so I put it in the realm of improbable.
-
The shore battery creates a temporary bomb crater in the air when you hit a plane with it.
-
When I hit a plane with the SB the shell didn't explode, just broke the p38 in two.
-
Killing all escort ships and deack the cv should be doable, then u can vulch it :joystick:
-
Killed my entire squad in FSO with the push of one button (all 9 of them) :D

If you had ever flown with us in VF-17, you'd know the likelihood of this increases well above the level of improbable. :D

Hah! That calls for a reward.

This one, at band camp, time I shot a p51 with my fm2.

Landed a plane on the quarter deck of the cv - it counted as me being on the rearm pad - woulda been nice to take off, but unfortunately I'd lost my wings!!!

We Pigs have created the Shiny Aluminum A** award for just such occasions. When a squaddie does something so funny, you just have to give him an award! :lol

- I was trying to 'protect' a V base from Buffs. As I was waiting for an another wave low on fuel, they off course showed up at 15K as my engine quitted. I killed the entire B17 formation with the 75mm from a B26H, then glided home to a V base for a successful land.
- Got 9 kills with a single bomb from a TBM as a mission 'popped out' from a CV.
- I shot down Skyyr. :neener:

I call BS, Skyyr does not allow people to shoot him down. :banana:
However I did rope Tikto in his 109-G6 once, while I was in a B25H :banana:

-I came with rockets vulching a base as a mission was taking off. the only one that got killed with my rockets was me :bhead. did leave about 5 or 6 planes all broken up.
-a couple of years ago, was helping fellow pigs take a nearby gv base.I was the goon and I brought supplies instead 3 times in a row.
-I dropped the troops that won the war before wizz did.

I was in a jeep once you know just out playing around in it and I seen this perfect little ramp and I took it at wide open speed and I did a perfect 360 degree back and kept driving on.
-
I hit a lancstukka from 2k away with my t34 main gun... he was a little upset .. got a nasty pm from him saying i had a aimbot and I was a hack...
LOL

Struggling to go over a hill with a NOE C-47 I dragged the tail wheel on the ground the entire way puffing dust while the rest of the plane was pointed skyward with the main gear up.
Trimming out a compressed 262 I slammed one of the engines into the ground and flew away on the other. The bottom of the broken engine was as flat as a pancake when I landed. Similarly I've bent several props on trees only to remain airborne.
-
I once de-acked a CV with Top Gun and we landed on the Carrier; backed up and waited for people to take off......I forget who but someone else ended up with 17 in a P-40E, I ended up with 9 in a C.202.
/No perks though, the jerk kept upping A6m2's
-
Last ditch effort on a 51D in my last lancaster. Hit the gear on accident, throw it into a stall, and tried to snap roll. Ended up with a perfect flat spin that recovered nicely with 1 notch of flaps. Flat spinning buffs :banana:
