Start of the map last night at fighter island BTBrando made an incredible shot on one of my drones in B-17's. I had 2.7k altitude and was climbing at dot speed 135 so I wasnt too hard to hit but from that range?! Holy cow that's awesome WTG Brando :rock :cheers:
After this I've decided to look into recording everything from now so as to share some of the amazing stuff I see people do when they play.

I recorded this for posterity.

Great shot Sir :salute

Keep in mind that B17s are a big target, especially if they're a formation. You also have your laser rangefinder (Icon range) and your tank scope has ranges marked and adjusted for ammo. The real skill is getting the lead right.

I agree. He took two shots. I was moving right to left at about a 90 degree angle. After I saw the first round and how close it came to hitting me (less than the length of a bomber) I said to myself "you know what let's give him another shot!" So I didn't take evasive action. Boy did he not disappoint :aok

LoL ,well its always fun shooting down any plane with a main gun. That's why I try :) I was hoping to kill the other 2 bombers with the splash damage , but I will never complain if I can get 1. Heck, I get excited if I just miss LOL.

I'll go out on a limb and say you hold the record for the landing the longest shot with a main gun for a kill with that one :rock
Maybe there has been a longer shot but records are reported and documented :x :salute

5K on planes in the air, or half on the runway taking off/landing?
Congrats that’s a lot either way and doing it long distance!

in flight about 3000' moving right to left. So you know his lead was stupid far :x

One time, in band camp, I shot a 262 down from 1.4k out in a T34. For me it was pure dumb luck. A literal spray and pray. And if you know me, it's all I got! :devil

If he would carry HE with him he might have been able to get all three of your bombers.

Love your attitude Merv! Back in the day I would have been just pissed!
I can't compete with that shot for sure. There was island on the trinity map between the two countries. The enemy was attempting to take it. The only gun left was a 17 pounder. I jumped in that to do my best. I'm not very good. Meanwhile across the channel I saw a C47 land. Hmm, will the 17 pounder reach it. I at first hit somewhere in the water then after about a half dozen shots I hit the side of a mountain a few times. Then one shell landed just under his right wing. The wing broke in half, then the plane tilted to his left and broke the other wing off along with the left gear, then the right gear broke off and the plane collapsed and exploded. Pretty cool.
