Title: What's the most impressive way you've killed yourself in game?
Post by: hazmatt on May 12, 2020, 05:05:50 PM
I had a good one that should be an achievement! I wouldn't have thought this was possible.

I was flying a D9 with full fuel and a half full drop tank. I was attacking an A20 that was on the deck.

I began my gunnery pass at about 340IAS. As he turned into my attack I has to load up the Gs to make the shot. I pulled to blackout to try and push a bad position and take the shot. The film review showed that I had pulled over 7G in the turn and snap rolled at over 300IAS. I came out of the blackout just in time to see the tree that killed me.

Found out a couple days ago to not be close to the building you’re aiming at when you launch a mortar from the Sd.Kfz. 251.

I have one somewhat similar.
I was licking my chops coming down on some lancs about 15K in my tempest. Was padding my 122-0 K/D. I was going about 400 in my tempest. Slightly pulled up to get a shot, somehow perma blacked out (fastest one I'v ever done, was almost instant perma black out). I'm raging at my computer to wake up. I wake up about 10 feet from the ground and nose darted going about 650. There went my precious K/D all time high.

Before I learned how to shoot long-range from an M4 Lyric was acting as FFO for me and announced the enemy was releasing troops to retake the field we had just taken! I fired at the maproom while he strafed troops, and killshot from about 10k.

His remark was, "I didn't feel a thing!"

I was at a decked enemy base keeping up relations in my P-38J, when I made an inverted pass through a hanger and tapped my left wing exiting....

That one must ahve happened to almost everyone...

One day I kept spawning with a panzer at a camped spawn point over and over to find the b***tard that killed me 10 times in a row.
This time I spawned and immediately looked around in gun modus. I turned the turret and voila, 20 ft. beside me there he is.
I shot and and insta-towered.... was a green guy that spawned at the same time as me.  :rofl

First time ever i upped a 262. Had absolutely no idea what to do and why, climbed up to like 20k when seen some NOE lancs almost right underneath me.
The result was a mach 1 lawn dart.

Dove on a set of B-26s in a 262. I cut a beautiful picture as I zoomed past their nose nearing warp speed. I made quite the impressive crater.

Much the same, but with a 163. Looking for some strat runners to find them about 10k below me. Rocket powered lawn dart.

I got killed by a shore battery in a 262 once (mid air, not otg).

Not exactly 'killed myself' but still to this day have no idea how it happened.

me and about 20 guys were in an a20 attack on this base.  all a20's were supposed to dive from 20k drop bombs and pull out.  I dont think any of the a20's even hit inside the town.  we all went straight into the ground as we compressed.

Drive to the top of the tallest thing I can find, put it in neutral then go ZOOOOOOM. I think I hit 300 in a GV before hitting this little imperfection in the ground and then instantly going to tower. Must of vaporized the vehicle with the ground

Kinda the opposite, but worth a mention. A few weeks ago was tanking, lined up a side shot on a tank in some bushes, missed him totally as I aimed way to high - but was rewarded with a kill on btbrando who was a few bushlines behind him (whom I had no idea was there and couldn't see btbrando at all).

Getting killed by a tank at about 3.0 km (range om his screen) flying at more than 1k feet agl, going away from him.


To add to Vulcan's involuntary kill : I had to drop my 500kg bomb on my F8 because I was chased by evil flying enemies still far away from base I was about  to hit. Hit a poor chap with that bomb who had been trying to sneak in the woods to score flank kills.

A couple of my memorable ones were killshooting myself on a squaddie in a 262, and another time I was rolling a 262, was about halfway down the runway and noticed a truck convoy coming across in front of me.  I wondered, "Hmm... can you collide with th-... yup."

The one that was most surprising to me though was the time I was diving in a P51 and I thought I could haul on the stick as hard as I wanted, so I yanked back to maximum elevator really quick.  I didn't think you could rip the wings off a pony up until then.  Found out I was wrong.

I was chasing an Ar234 low on the deck when it pickled it's bombs and blew me straight back into the tower.

That was impressive if he meant it.  :old:

Back before I knew better.. I was flying as close to a GV as I could to later get the shot from the film viewer that would get me the praise and accolades of an awesomesauce pic in the screenshots thread... the only thing was...the pic I was trying to get, was the moment the bomb I dropped hit the tank looking from the cockpit of my plane

There used to be a player who would fly a goon around in a furball on the deck just to get guys to lawndart trying to kill him. One of those guys was me up @ 10k in a 262 see him on the deck dive in and crash right next to him Give him a proxie in his goon. Good laugh about it on 200.

I was in a goon once and got caught on the deck by 2 ponies. I turned awhile with them until both crashed. I could barely land because we were all in tears laughing.
