Title: Dumbest Death (tggr)
Post by: Kini on March 04, 2022, 09:46:22 AM
Been mulling it over for a few days and decided to share with the community the absolute stupidest death I've suffered in AH.  I'm flying along in my !90D looking for bombers, after a few minutes one pops up on dar,  turn towards it and  find a lonely C47 at about 6K.  Easy pickings run through my mind as I dive down. He evades and I climb back up for another try, he evades again. I go into a climbing turn, he sees what I am doing and does the same. I've let myself get sucked into a turn fight with a C47. After way too many turns I stall out and auger. Wish I had caught the pilots name but was too shocked at what had just happened.

He was just as surprised as you at what happened, I'll wager.

The hardest-learned lessons stick with you the longest.    :salute

Never get in a rush!


Now, with that being said, if you ever think you have done the dumbest thing in Aces High, it's only because someone else is not fussing up.

Have fun  :aok

Way back in Midwar I was caught in a C47 by 2 mustangs. I was on the deck. The dove on me and a turn fight ensued. They both ended up augering.

Just then other day I was in a 152. Dove in on a storch and managed to take both its wings and tail off AND set it on fire. I was so mesmerized by the brutality of it all that I forgot to pull away and slammed right into his crispy remains. Good thing I kept a spare joystick   :bolt:

Just last night, I started a takeoff from a CV without my feet being on the rudder pedals...  Boat was turning...  Could happen to anyone.

I did it twice in a row.

mano was in a gv attacking our base. I tried 2manned guns but I'm not good at them. so I switched no a near base to prove my amazing bomb**** skills. I am talking crap to him all the way there. finally I initiated my dive from 6k. I press secondary for bombs. no bombs, I don't understand I always carry bombs in my pony. I reach for the back key, still no bombs.  it says canons. I'm confused ponies don't have cannons, as I'm still diving I finally paid attention just in time to auger I realized I was in a spit8.

I was in such a rush that I selected the plane below the pony. I was to busy typing to notice the difference.

revenge can't let Mano be on my field. I quickly made sure sure I had a pony.  flew back,  initiated my dive, big smile on my face. dropped bombs and ended up in the tower. he shot me right in the face as I dropped my bombs.
