Tonight was one of those nights that I will always remember. I was in my mossie rising to intercept some B24s... much to my surprise I was in the bomb stream and one took off my left wing... that was a first... in 17 years.
Hat tip to Bad10 for the precision bombing!!

Same thing happened to be a couple years back… at first I was like :headscratch: and then I thought about it and laughed my arse off.
-
The bomber used to get an achievement for that i don't know if that still happens
-
It's impressive that that is modelled tbh.

My brother once took out a hurri2c with a supply drop from a Fi in mid-air.
Still haven't gotten over that one :D

Would that be considered weak sauce? Asking for a friend.

Only about the 3rd or 4th time I’ve heard this mentioned in my combined years… funny either way :rofl
I’ve been killed by bombs taking off, not as funny :(
One for the books! Definitely very weaksauce. IOS thinks that’s two words btw - but we know better
As many late night map wins I’ve helped, still haven’t gotten the troop that won the war, someday maybe.

There was someone in the arena about 2015 who was able to do it more than once.
-
I hit someone years ago and it was pure luck. I think back in FSO years ago one of our squaddies was hit by another squaddies bomb. We were that close in formation lol
-
Yea Mols it was Hopper who took out half our squad. I remember him laughing hard so maybe it was intentional. :noid :devil
Morf might remember more details as he mentioned it before. :cheers:
-
Lol, I flew with G3MF years ago, one of the FSO missions, had us in bombers. As we approached the target, somehow I got above our CO Rodent57. When I dropped my bombs , I killed him. He was not happy. :cheers:
-
I dropped one bomb in a CV once and got 10 instant kills. A F4U squad spawned just as my bomb hit. I was told they all laughed about it. This was some years ago.
-
I’ve been bombed out of the air a couple times.
Here’s an interesting titbit that is even less common…
If you touch an enemy pilot, you both die in a collision. We both bailed (squaddie and myself) after a duel in the air and decided we’d have a pistol duel. We were going to walk 10 paces and turn and fire. We both died when we backed into each other and touched.
-
I’ve tried to drop bombs on bombers whenever I was traveling heavy and found a low one. Have yet to hit one.
-
The amount of times I’ve swooped in under bombers in a 262 while they were unloading bombs has gotta be over 30+ I figured it wasn’t even possible considering how close they were while zooming up… guess I have been lucky my whole life on that one!

I still have yet to get the troop that captures a base. Haven't bothered to try in over a decade, and I don't see myself trying it again for another one. :airplane:
-
Then there is the goy who landed near an enemy field, taxi’d to the edge of a hill overlooking an enemy field, and sat there rocket vulching.

I got it in an M3, but it disappeared when I finally let my account go due to certain reasons with the game

Well now that sounds like a lot of fun.
-
I had that happen once. I was doing a zoom climb under a bomber in a desperate attempt to kill it before it dropped. The bomber dropped, and I died.
I once saw a picture of a real life B-17 with a hole in it's tail from the bombs being dropped by the bomber above it. So it did happen in real life.

lol Bino was the first one to say WTH and we all heard Hopper’s crazy laugh or should I Say Hooooperrrr as the one squaddie called him and I forgot his name

My greatest accomplishment was killing a goon mid air in a shore battery but this would take the cake
-
Crazy how the explosion made a crater in the air when you hit the goon with the shore battery.

Leprtard from the LCA was the first victim/instance I heard about, circa 2006, during an FSO.
Ripped the wing clean off and wiped out the formation.
I think 96Delta or Cobra516 had the film on youtube.
I never attacked a buff from below over it target after seeing it.

Yo Eights! All fine here. I try to get in an hour or so, at least once a week, but there is still much to do and not much time to do it.
Glad that you and yours are healthy and happy.

Yes it was Bino and hopper got 1 of my drones,I on the other hand took out 7 friendlies one FSO. I was awarded 3 kills of squaddies with guns and 4 with bombs. As we approached the target several formations were slightly below me as I was dropping ords,IIRC I got midi and Daddog,Daddog’s kid and maybe Ghosth. Needless to say I was relegated to tail end Charley from that point on. :old:
