here's mine
Query results:
pugg666 has 0 kills and has been killed 1 time in the P-51D against the Ar 234.
and no i didn't crash beside it trying to vulch it on the runway :o
I was at about 24k the 234 was at about 15 or so. I hit wep, roll over and dive, 234 starts manuevering when i get close. I start maneuvering myself, pull a little too hard on the stick and voila both my wings are fluttering in the breeze.
come on...who's man even to admit how much of a dweeb ya are??
:)

I've had so many .. (including pulling my wings off).
My worst was when I was coming into to land for the 3rd time in a long sortie (I'd re-armed twice and gone back for more). I had 6 kills at that point but fluffed the landing and over shot the run way. I was so annoyed that when I was trying to turn round to get to the re-arm pad I under-estimated my speed and applied too much throttle : flipped the a/c and died.

Most embarassing death...
How about a horrible string of them in a few short hours?
Had to be when the Dweebs of Death lead by Tone and Cman knocked 3 "dream team" Flying Pigs WB con dueling teams out of the 2v2 tournament without a single guns kill. 4 collision deaths and 2 augers if I recall correctly... I was one of the collision deaths. I somehow managed to ram cman with my rudder as he overshot, the final frames on my screen being a quick view of his propellor then engine appearing inside my cockpit from behind me. The shame, the shame. The worst had to be the worr/mili team. One of them rammed tone at the merge, which was guns-cold to prevent HO collisions :rolleyes:
-
I attacked a goon with 202, got some hits, he tried to evade, I turned with him, he turned harder, etc etc, eventually he outturned me, rammed me and I died :(
was an AK guy, forgot the name thou
for goods sake, if he'd been armed, he woulda shot me down :(
the shame <runs screaming from the room>
-
I HO'd a c202 when in a 109g10 with 30mm.. and lost.
Such things come in my dreams to haunt me. :(
-
Back in beta days I dove down on the figher that was too low, since I was too much of a newbie I ended up as a pancake on the floor
:rolleyes: freaking newbie :p
-
I was returning from a sorte with 6 kills, very proud of myself, when I see a low Spit off my nose. I had about 200 rounds left and decided to take a quick pass at him. I rolled over and started a gentle dive, waiting untill I was about 500 off befor letting loose with my Dhogs guns. Just as I was about to pull the trigger, he broke, and like a moron I followed...way...way....WAY to long, and before I knew it, BLAM, he had blown me right out of the sky...that was bad, but what happened next was really embarassing.
About 3 minutes later I see him on Ch1 asking whats the best joystick to buy for aces high, because using the mouse to fly made it to hard to control the plane
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Augering into a hill while typing a taunt to a guy I was running away from.
-
Took off in a Tempest and ran out of fuel (25% for some reason). Not a problem, I can see a friendly airbase down there.
Well, I missjudged my speed and stall before making the field.
Hans.
-
ouch that hurts 2late !
your in the lead so far :D
-
wow it's tough to pick just one.
probably losing control and compressing my g2 while trying to down a low c-47
-
I was at 29,000ft in a Ta152H-1 when I saw 2 P-47s at what I guessed was about 4,000ft below me.
I dove on them.
As it happens they were more like 9,000ft below me and I compressed while diving towards them.
I was unable to pull out of the dive and slammed into Swedish ground at 570mph.
Doh!!!
-
Simular to Tac's situ.
I was outzoomed by a C.202 in a 109G10.
Boy, that was embarassing.
:p
-
Hi all,
Most of my deaths are embarrising but 2 spring to mind.
The 1st was once while being harrassed by a spit when I was flying a B17 I did not have much alt so diving etc was out of the question anyway we traded a few shots and I took some minor damage then he just sat there just out of gun range.. I sat in the rear turret watching him closely and flew straight into a mountain :rolleyes:
2nd happened offline :eek: I was trying the D9 just after it came out, went for a slow pass on one of the drones, stalled and went straight in. Anyone else been killed by a drone? :rolleyes:

i remember that!
he was running away from my 109g6 while in his spit :)
-
Was cruising at 18k in my Tiffy when I spotted a bunch of low cons. On closer inspection it was a convoy of B17s and C47s trying to sneak under radar height for some reason. Clearly an easy meal for the Tiffy. Throttled back, dived after the rearmost C47, opened fire at 800 yards, making a pass to the right.. his wing sheared off and he veered right into my flight path. At the ridiculous speed I was going at I couldn't even maneuver. Only good thing was I don't think my name popped up as a kill or killer :)
Snafu, I swear once when I was practicing gunnery offline a drone teleported straight through me and gave me a pilot wound. I couldn't believe it, and it's never happened since :)
-
It was during the big "Rumble" we had. I was flying a crappy Spit I had 12 minutes in, looking for Bistro (Hristro) when a 109 came screaming down.
I got hit, but stayed up. Exile shot him down, and most of the rest as I remember. I wore out 4 sets of gun barrels killing the "elite" LW types.
Wait, that's not embarrassing.
Ooops, sorry.
-
The most embarassing...lets see...hmmm :D
Was in my Il-2 vulching a rook field at Mindanao, coming slowly at 200 ft alt behind a Spit who was grabbin speed on the runway. Pulled both triggers to make it a quick kill but doesn't checked on what was the secondary fire button set. So, i released 2x100 lbs eggs and blow myself up.

compressing the wings with a LANC at 28,000' while turning. I was flying for 45min... my escorts where pissed! It was a long fall.

What is embarassing for you is that I shot ya down couple of times. Your score is nil though. You were flying N1K every time back then. Pathetic tard.
As for embarassing death, I am with Funked. I was running in A-5 from Jekyll in his A-5 and Hibari in N1K. I taunted them while keeping 6 view and crashed into the hill.

One of many of mine is prolly gotta be when I was taking off in my 109F-4 with a drop tank during an attack on our base. I'm rolling down the runway and dropped my tank on the ground, but it was a 250k bomb, not a droptank...hehehe. Dumb move.

I was drunkly vulching a capped field in a Tempest, and to taunt our opponents, I tried to fly thru hangar. A plane just spawned and I rammed him.

I did that but with a B-25. I headed up for a enemy field and lost fuel about 5 miles out. ened up crashing in the middle of the field with my wings shot off by ack.

Sheeeeeit Hangtime, Grab a beer.
Lemme tell ya a little story.
Last night, the Fat Drunk Bastards were flyin' for the darkside (ROOKS) and as I miss wingin' with dem slobs from my ole Bish days, (yes I was even a knit once too) I hooked up fer some sorties.
Now it's late at night, real late, an' we'd 'bout kilt off all them nasty, sheep-lovin' knits who'd we'd hadda drag kickin' and screamin' like lil' girls into the Northwest corner of da map.
So Fatty, Creamo, and I decide we need some mo' victims, we attempt to draw some bishes to A26 with various insults and bribes from their fight with the knits that was goin' on da other side o the map.
Anyways, I saddled up my 190A-5 and headed out to A26, figurin' they's see me and send somethin' my way.
I arrive high above A26, and start circlin' and pacin' like it's ten minutes to quitin' time on a Friday afternoon, just waitin' fer somethin' with a pulse to show, when I spy with my gov'mint issue MK1 eye a Bish Spitter rollin' from 26.
So I roll my 190A-5 onto it's back like a virgin on 'er wedding night, and start pullin' back on stick, ta commence my world famous "Lawn-Dart" dive for which I am reknown for.
I am directly over the Spitter, waitin' fer his break, so's I can roll into him, when I hear this god-awful creaking ripping sound, ya know the one...same noise as when you've been constipated two weeks and it finally brown caps.
I realize, I'm fittin' to lose parts of the ole girl, now Herr Speer mighta done wonders
with production numbers, but my gut sinkin' feelin' is quality control has suffered.
I begin to pull hard on the joystick, (no comments from the peanut gallery or sexual
innuendos from ya'll)
And what should happen? Lost both my wings, now normally I wouldn't care, cuz' hell
they's just 'xtra weight anyways, like my flaps, and rudder, but I start to worry this
time, cuz I'm thinkin' I mighta had an audience.
'kay so now I'm still flyin'...sorta, but I'm checkin' 6 real hard, not cuz I'm worried the
Spitter is there, but to make sure no one saw my attack on 'im.
Unfortunatly Fatty and Creamo saw it.
Talk about embarrassin'

this one time I got shot down by artlaw. :P
-
After an 8 kill sortie with a dora I was on the deck with a Ki61 flipped inverted for a sec then tried to go upright but got "Do not move your controls so rapidly" message controls locked I augered.
-
Don't know if this counts.... it was quite awhile ago....but:
Flying B26, nap of the earth, down at some 50ft or less. Carrying bombs for a fighter hanger, I'm going to pop up over the target since the ack was down. Getting close to enemy field, set salvo 4, open doors. Enemy C202 lifts off coming my way right on the deck... going to try and HO me. I have no choice really so sit tight and wait to open up with the nose guns. D2.0.. D1.5... D1.2 open fire... Pull both triggers out of instinct... was that bombs leaving my aircraft???... damn.... counter says 0 bombs... poof.
I exploded maybe D800 infront of him.... carpet bombed myself.

Was flying a C47 into a downed field we have been trying to capture for about 2 hours. Finally, the field is ready! I bring a goon in to drop troops.
I can remember hearing Ripsnort, "Go Swager, Go!" Man this will be an easy drop. We got this field, piece of cake!
I get at edge of field about 750-800 feet, with door open, and select to drop troops.
Nothing! No "Geronimo!" So I select to drop a drunk again! Nothing! I get mad and start selecting like a madman to throw out troops. Next thing I know the only thing in a parachute is me!! The C47 just kept on going with 10 drunks awaiting to meet their end somewhere, sometime.
I was hitting the ENTER key!!!!
Next thing I hear is Ripsnort, "Swager what's wrong, ya only dropped 1 drunk!"
On top of that, as I am floating down, a enemy Spitfire breaks through the escort, without fire a shot at one of our planes and kills me in my chute!
Oh Boy! Needless to say, I kinda just logged off for the night!

and more!! ban must have got like 4 collision kills,damn spit dweeb :rolleyes:
also dun the crash into mountain while in rear gunning pos.
-
Though it has happened many times the most recent was today.
During a dogfight with a Yak I was pinged by a Tempest who tried to zoom in for a quicky. While travelling back to base I was busy talking to 'pipz' about some of the 109's in AH and ran into the side of big mountain resulting in a kill for 'MrWulf' the Tempest pilot.

My most embarassing death wasn't even when engaging the red guys... I was upping in a P51D and I dropped one of my tanks onto the runway (I like to cruise with just one tank). Hit 120 mph, pull back to unstick, plane starts uncommanded roll to the side with the tank. I'm thinking "what's wrong with the joystick??!!!" as I plow into the grass next to the runway inverted.
Took me a couple of miutes to realize that I didn't have enough speed at take off to fly with the weight imbalance. D'oh! Glad noone saw it at the time...
-
ever had your DT's hit the plane below you when taking off? Heeheee...
-
Once I tried to divebomb with G-10 from 10k...
Another fine was I was flying a Ta-152 and I heard couple pings in fight from Macchi 202. I flyed back to home, dropped gears and made a smooth landing. Then I noticed that my left gear was damaged, plane spinned out of runway and I lost points.
That pissed me almost as much as lack of fuel in Tempest when after flight I glided almost in runway, only 20-30 meter short :D
-
well, there's two actually:
The first time Idecided to go CV hunting; took my trusty f6f up to 8k and got the perfect angle with no bad guys near my alt. I cut the throttle and dove in, perfect approach. No way I can miss. Unless machine guns are selected...I was so surprised at the mistake, I just augered in...
Second time I was up in the Ta-152 for the first time tring to intercept an HQ strike. Got the first bomber when a spit came in on me and one-pinged my engine dead. I figure my only chance is to go for the deck and hope the spit driver has some sense of duty, but he doesn't. He follows me all the way down and pings me a few more times, but I make it to a base and drag him through the ack. I get credit for the kill and think this must be my day, so I bleed some speed and make a perfect approach, until I find out i'm wounded. I blacked out, panicked and augered in.

Well my most emberassing crash so far happened recently, it was during last Fridays TOD.
Our mission was to take off from A26 on the Mindaeno map and fly our Ju-88 all the way down to the SW corner to take out the CV. We had 7 bombers and 3 fighter for cover. We made it all the way down there and took out the cv and the cruiser and only lost 2 bombers to ack fire.
On our way back, we decided to land at A36, which was an elevated field. After a total flight time of about an hour and 15 min. we made it to the field and when I was coming in for a landing I miss judged the hill that the field was on and I snapped off the landing gear and bounced off the ground. I didn't have enough air speed to get back in the air and I crashed about 100 yards from the strip.
The next thing I hear is Milenko saying "Hey SAR nice landing". Then the rest of the squad started in.
I got a good ribbing for about a half an hour, but it was pretty funny.

Embarrasing death ?
Why only one ;)
I've done three in a row !
Once upon of time the day of the release of the mighty Tempest
- 1st sortie : I was carefully selecting a field for my 1st ever sortie in the dream plane when my wingman Dudule scream at me :" Go defend field #".
I type ASAP ".move #" and click on the "N" runway (completly forgoting to change my plane) result : VULCHED.
Argggggggggggg (was a bit upset)
- 2nd sortie : this time I select my startup field with more care : no dot around no red sector bar ... took some time to speak with my wife ...
Ok now "let's GO !"...
Start engine ouch ...
This thing accelerate like a rocket ...
What's that red thing at the end of runway ...
It's an "O" !
It's an "S" !
It's an "T" !
It's an "OSTY" !
And blammo ... KILLED :(This time I'm rather furious ...
- 3rd and last sortie : selecting carefully again a field (sector bar clear etc...)
Take off ... yeah no stinking OSTY...
Let's play a bit with her ...diving climbing rolling turning ... rahhh lovely ...
Ok that's good head to combat zone ...
yeeha ! an superb target ... slurp... I love the smell of the burning 109 ... reduce throttle and Go for the bounce ... level on his low 6 ... Aim ... and BLAMMO !!!!!
KILLSHOOTER :(

LOL I died exactly the same way :) The only good thing for me was that I managed to open fire while just feets in front of the hangar doors... I killed StSanta and colided with the detonation... :) Oh well :D
-
I got my PT boat into firing position on an enemy CV group after a long, long chase.
Then I found out I had no torpedos on the boat. I had left them behind once upon a time to see if the PT boat is faster without them, and only just now actually had an oportunity to launch them.

Had a fight with a Typhoon that lasted for a few minutes. I finally score some good hits and tear off some wing parts and radiator hits.
I still couldn't get the kill, but was still in a better position. Finally the guy made me loose position and then he went to ditch his plane.
Not wanting him to get away and me loose the kill, I turned hard to come around and get him before he got out. I'm on the edge of a stall and just when I pull the trigger the right wing stalls. Spin, Auger, right into the ground next to the Typhoon. I'm dead, he gets the kill.... :(

I was chatting with a new squaddie via RW and he was on a field ready to take off for another sortie... I was getting ready to land, but was coming in a bit too fast so I decided to make a low level pass over the field inverted... well... I rolled over... (forgetting the fact I was in a bomber) and crashed right in front of him.
-
When the Arado was brand new and few had a lot of points to fly it, it was something people would jump to the tower to watch take off. So, on day 2 of the Arado being out, I announce I'm going to roll one out from base such-and-such. Wanting to put on a good show, I verify my bomb load and ratos and make a really long run before kicking in the ratos.
Well, before the glory of many, I hadnt toggled RATOs back and bombed myself to smithereens. Sigh!
-
Fatty shot me down in a that stumviorkien thingy...he out turned me in a low fuel low ammo d11 :(
xBAT
-
There have been so many....
Couple of days ago, I'm returning to base with a bunch of ammo in a Jug, and see an Ostie blasting away at ground structures. I come in low behind him and let loose with a long burst from eight .50's, scoring plenty of hits. However, I am too low and exactly in line with his gun and get wacked with 37mm as I pass over him. Doh! :)
-
hmm, guess mine are Zekes... First was just messing around after a snapshot with Puke and someone else. Puke was in a Hellkittie and I was in a Zeke. Let's just say I found out that the Zeke compresses MUCH faster than any other plane I've flown, so I lawn darted. ;)
Next was in another snapshot. I'm flying a Hellkittie and we're trying to keep the Zekes off the Avengers. I get one on my tail and entice him to chase me, cool, he does which takes pressure off the bombers. Eventually I decide to dive and lose him. It works, and someone else gets him. I turn back and start climbing up to the bombers. There's a high Zeke that's harassing them, and when he sees me and Wilbus, he decides he better deal with us. anyways, I'm pretty slow at this point from climbing back up, and he's got a nice alt advantage on us. We fight for a bit, he does a vertical move, comes back down and I pull up into him. Of course I die. Hmm, I did that in the 3rd frame of the Rumble too. :(
-
I pick from a long list:
1) Diving on a buff in a Ta-152, pulling to get a shot in and disintegrating 300 yards away from the tailgunner before he starts to shoot.
2) Happened a long time ago: Mishandling tempest so badly that aslow spit with alt disadvantage was able to nail me good when i was hanging from the propeller (never flown tempest in MA since).
3) Hostile Shores: Being the first F6F blown outta the sky despite repeated "check 6" from squadmates and friendlies - I tought i had plenty of time...
4) Generally: Falling for the hammerhead, or execute it poorly and getting nailed by the guy who skyrockets past my burning wreckage...
-
Heh heh. Several of these had me chuckling.
