As an alternative to some of the negative threads on the board, I'm starting a thread about cool kills.
Becase as we all know, reliving a kill is almost as good as getting a kill =)
so bring it on, describe what plane you were in, what you shot down, and what made it special..

I killshootered myself north A3 in a Hurricane IIC last night. It was very special :).
-
When HTC first implimented the beautiful sunrise effect, they had just started up the new server and we were the first to see the effect in the MA. As I was flying the sun began cresting over the horrizon as the sky turned all orange. It was really cool.
The P-38L I bounced 5 seconds later must have been thinking the exact same thing.

I performed a perfect co-e lead turn that got me d200 off an f4u's 6.. he didn't know i was there until i let loose
why was this special? when you get as few kills as i do, they're all special =)

sweet octavius.
last night i was part of a raid taking some base (doesnt matter really.)
i was in a b17 and had dropped on a couple tanks and part of the city, but still had 2 500s left.
i saw a friendly m3 approaching the town, but decided to swing around for one last check. Through the smoke i saw ack firing. OHHH watermelon musta been a gv hiding!!!!. I look through the nord ans spot a small green dot.. "ah hah! there you are you little bastige M16!!!!" I pickle both my eggs on it.
"OH CRAAAAAAAP that was a train firing and now it has dissappeared! OHHHH CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP there are friendly troops beside that "bastige M16" OHHHHHHHHHHH CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP i am about to killshoot myself like nobody has ever killshot themselves before!!!!!!"
BOOM back into the tower, killshot myself with a 1000lbs of bombs
that was sweet
:D

The time I blew up a low-level B-26 from 1.8K away...
... in a Panzer!
-
I made a horrible mistake lastnight and allowed an La7 to jump me. I eventually evaded long enough so that the horde could catch up. I saw a Hurricane closing, so I manuvered into him and let the hurri kill me instead of the La7 :D.
-
Air-air rocket kills are always nice.
-
One of the sweetest kills I remember was when a poor Hellcat HO'ed my shore battery... :D
-
1.5k kill off the prettythang end of a PT boat. That'll teach those 109s to swoop me!
-
Was when we were first testing the panzer turret movement. Pyro and I are up on the test server, im in the panzer. Pyros circling me at about 2k, I figure what the heck and shoot an AP round at him.
Killed him on the first shot out of a tank that I ever shot at a plane. At first we thought we had a bug.
-
Too many cool kills to remember but most recently I was returning from a solo bomb strike against rook HQ when I came across a rook Lanc headed in the same general direction as me. He was at 18k and I was at 15k in my Ki-67.
I got directly below the guy and started a gentle climb up. In no time I was about 200 yards in front and 800 yrds below him in parallel course. Jumped to the 20mm aft turret and popped him with about 30 rounds getting my first Ki67 vrs Lanc kill
-
FW 190 D9 attacked me from above. I split-s'd twice, but he was still on me....
Headed for the deck in desparation.
Suddenly I notice an FW 190 overtaking me to my left. Cut throttle and eased in behind him...one trigger pull & he exploded.
-
Flying off of a cv tonight, a spit14 was making a nuisance of himself, so I decide to grab for some alt above the cv. I get co alt about 10k and turn in to engage the spit. He meanwhile is busy roping a teammate. He flys straight up about d400 in front of me then turns back down. I follow and give him about a 40 round burst and his wing pops off. Now not my best kill but certainly up there
-
-262 vs 262, I fired 1 bullet at the d800 262 to see if he would turn.. and he turned into the bullet. *PING* and his tail went out on a tangent *G*
-Vulching a field, flying through hangars 'cause im bored.. and a n1k spawns in the FH im about to fly through.. let loose with me 5 cals, blow the n1k up and fly through its fireball. Su-WEET.
-Dropping a bomb onto a runway of a field im passing through on my way to target, enemy mission spawns and I bag more than half the mission. (like 6 tours ago mwaahah).

I was in a B17 on a deep strike interdiction mission in Northern Mindano. I had been escorted by p51's of my squad all the way there, after I got my rocks off I turned south only to hear calls of an enemy 262 on Roger Wilco. I saw a few unidentified cons and was certain that the 262 was at my low 5. I watched the con approach and it was a friendly p51. Then from my high 7 2 cons approached at a high rate of speed. 262!! I screamed on RW, he was diving on me at the speed of heat, following him a few K back was an enemy Ta152! A squadmate appeared co-alt of me off my 9 coming to my assistance. I opened up at 1.1 with short bursts to get my aim, luckily my short bursts had found 262 so I began to pour it on. The 262 opened up and shot one of my engines out, but it was futile, the 262 popped like a pimple. following seconds later was the 152 ripping my wing off putting me into a death spiral.

There are just too many to count. :D
I've killed two F4U's with shore batteries. I was really surprised at the time. :)
Field defense with the fleet ranks up there. I think I killed 5-6 of the BK's (might have been a few non-members in there) attempting to take P36 in the Baltic. Those 15" guns come in handy against GV's. :D
But, my all time favorite was a Ju88 in Mindanao. The Ju was leaving our southern field and heading home at about 8k. I swoop in from the oblique in a 262 and smacked half his plane off with a single round. It was Deus. heh
Another memorable kill was against Skernsk (I think). I was on preemptive barracks strike with an Arado at night. I dropped an egg from 12k on the barracks. Meanwhile, Skernsk (sorry if I got the wrong guy) is turning with a Niki on the deck.
Boom!
Barracks destroyed
Fuel tanks destroyed
Victory #1 by Voss
You shot down Skernsk
heh
-
When I took the horde of spits (about 1,000,000 of them) and killed them with my KI61 which OWNS all planes ;)
-
only true kill that stands out is the time i bagged Citabria's tempest one of the first nights he came back.
nothin special, he was just foolin around. but i can say i nailed the master.
-
Another Cita story,twas a team game of H2H,our team was getting monstered by 3 n1k's and Cit's Mighty Lightning,(pre the n1k getting "fixed"),having decided that the only way to get some revenge,i dirtied my hands and jumped in a n1k myself,well i killed 2 of the nme n1k's and then got Cita as he was saddling up on a good guy,i popped him and on ch 1 i read......"fluff'n n1k dweebs" :))
Another worth mentioning is where i had run outta ammo (guns) and was with another friendly chasing a p51,i reported that i was winchester but was gonna keep cutting the p51's angles to give my teamie a chance to get him.
The 51 decides now is a good time to runstang (no offence,you gotta extend sometimes lol),and pulls into a very gentle climb and starts to get away,i selected the rockets i had forgotten about,zoomed in,pulled the nose up a long way and let em go....
after release i pushed the nose level and was just in time to see one of the rockets remove the 51's right wing (im not sure that the rocket exploded or just collided with his wing),i'll never be able to do that again :)
Oh and Tac,iv'e got that sniping film,man that's one hell of a shot
-
Well this wasnt exactly a kill of my own but was quite funny at the time :)
My countrymen had attacked the northernmost port (P55?) in NDIsles and had killed ack and hangers so I upped in a goon from a nearby base. There was only 1 or 2 enemy in the area so I figured I might be able to sneak it in. I fly NOE for about 10 minutes and then see a low dot heading my way. I hold my breath hoping its a friendly and it turns out to be an enemy B17. He spots me and turns to intercept. Knowing I cant outrun him, I start asking for help from teammates in the area.
He closes on me, and as soon as he gets within guns range, I begin circling. I pull hard on the stick and turn inside the b17. He continues to try to get me in the front quarter but cant turn enough. Every time he tried to jump to the tail gun, I could see his plane suddenly straighten out which would be my que to extend. :) He would then climb back into the pilots spot, close on me again, try to turn to get close and then jump to one of the gunner spots! LOL
This went on for about 10 minutes until a friendly showed up and killed him. Fortunately, he didnt have a gunner or I would have been deadmeat! ROFL!!

I was pingin a fleet that some schmo brought withing 3k of the shore while in one of the shore battery guns and shot down an F4U-1D at 1.2k... I wasn't aimin for him, I had the range on the carrier and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. :D
-
Hehehe loser, i remember you bombing my m3 rofl. There's me in my lil ol m3 letting out troops and you come overhead and dump ord on me. Hehehe that was funny.
Not my best kill but my fave kill was in my first ever sortie in AH. Took up a spit9 climbed to 20k and spotted 3 p47's in a close vic formation. I dived down and shotdown 2 of them in a matter of seconds and got the 3rd as he made a break turn:D
-
First time I made a ord. drop at 20K and destroyed a VH. Of course I was in a spit and I dropped it to go after a bomber.
-
wouldn't that be a site.. 30 p38's at 20k dropping their 1k'ers timed on a b17 or a droop snoot p38 =)
cool one fdsik
-
Shooting down 4 engined bombers with d2.0 shots in a yak allways gives me a warm fuzzy .
And the time I shot down a p38 with a shore battery.
And the time I was shooting at a hangar with a panzer and the shell went long, dropped on the far side of the hangar producing a giant orange fireball and a "you shot down Pyro" message .
And there was the time I was rtb in my light b26, looked down and saw a b17 and ju88 in formation . Dropped down between them and killed the b17 with my tail guns then chased down the ju88 . This produced some "buff guns" whines on chan1, from the buff pilots !
One time me and the rest of the 308 were sitting in our planes on a cv deck and westy dropped a bomb from his b26 and got like 8 simultaneous kill msgs . Bastard .
-
The only time I ever killed Tourqe one on one. (he was AFK!!)
"Death to Tourqe"
-
One of the planes vulching a field flew straight down the runway I was taking off from. As soon as I got my tail up, I squeezed off a burst, which hit his wing. Seeing as I was in a 190A5, this knocked it off.
-
The first night I was on AH, I nailed a low and slow Ta-152 in a Pony. I thought I was king toejam of stinky town. Didn't get another kill all night.

My favorite kills are when a P51 decides to try and run from a fight or after a jabo run and I'm higher in an La7...happens a lot!
-
Good thread..
I dont get a lot of kills (only coz i suck) but...
egged a field in a B26, turned for 2nd pass and spotted a low B17 which seemed to be trying to nail some friendly gv's.
So I tipped over and angled down, tricky not rippin the wings off but managed to pull out right behind the buff.
Boy the mauraders front guns pack a punch!!
Boom!
buff vs buff kills are always a buzz.
-
I have 2 average kils but for me they were fun.
1. A TBM vs TBM fight which I won at low alt and low speed. Some bastige came over the hill and shot me down about 2 mins later.
2. The other night I was climbing through 5k in a pony when i spotted a high spit. He dived down to engage and I was slow (obviously) so i turned and dived to grab some sort of E. I turned back to him about 60 seconds later but he flew right by me and on to my airfield which he prompty began to strafe. I pinged him once or twice(no visible damage) and he augered into the hillside. Got the kill and a good laugh. I'm still puzzled.
-
I don't shoot down that many, so every one is special! Got a good one tonight, however. Hovering over a furball at A53 on the NDIsles map. Suddenly I spot a P47 below me, climbing up on the 6 of one of our F4Us. The guy just drifts up in front of me, slowing, slowing--I got so close that when I unloaded the air was filled with flying pieces.
But the best "kill" for me, was not actually a kill, but instead, an incident that for me encapsulated the best of AH. I was in a bomber group, somewhere over the Mindanao map. Someone, I have a feeling it might have been Fester, had upped a 262 and was shredding everything in sight. We were all sitting there watching his kill tally mount up. Eventually he worked his way to us, and shot down my two B17 wingmen. Then he disappeared. I pressed on to the target, bombed it, and then the 262 showed up again. He was boring in on me high, but for once in my life I got really good deflection and he pulled off with one engine smoking. I'm guessing he managed to land to preserve the streak. So I never got the kill, but the 262 was done for the day.

Hey HT, what kinda setup ya use?
I'm never steady enough to hit planes with a single shot from a ground gun.

when I killed a couple dozen planes that just upped for a mission by dropping bombs on them from my b17.
pyro wrote a poem about it. :p

Caught a luftweenie vulching a base today. Killing a vulcher combined with killing an Fw190 combined with it being a really cool looking engagement makes it a fun one for me.
I even got Film (http://www.dbstaines.com/images/Vulch190MustDie!.wmv).

I dropped a 500 pounder from around 1500 ft. with the good intentions of killing a PT boat. Turns out it wiped out a Spit who was finishing a strafing run and was passing over the boat. Sure would like to see film on that!

Killing any spit that wants to mess with my KI61 or my ZEKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
