It's not a hack.
It's not a doctored picture.
The user did not die when he hit the ground.
What am I?

Incorrect answer texace, thanks for playing, and we have some idiotic, small cheap gifts in the back when you leave.

It's a bug.
-
Mighty used Eagler as his lifeline, that answer (as well as Mighty's) is incorrect, thanks for playing!
-
Funked, if it was a bug, 'it wouldn't have been done on purpose'...that's a hint.
Edit: I guess it *may* be defined as a bug, but that would be up to HiTech himself to answer, I'll give you a 'half-correct' and buy you a pizza in Texas next year, the beer stays with me until someone can tell me what the picture is of.

This is call a THUD attack. It was a highly secretive counter attack method developed by the Germans in late 1943. A swooping plane that is attacking what is perceived as a defenseless tank, gets a very nasty surprise.
The entire gun barrel was loaded with smokeless solid rocket fuel. The gun barrel is set to the correct take off elevation and at an opposite aspect to an attacking plane. Launch is committed just as the attacking plane reaches zero altitude and the rocket fuel is ignited. The tank is rapidly propelled to a position high on the attacking planes six.
Timing for a kill was crucial. After the rocker fuel was spent, a cannon shell needed to be quickly loaded to the gun muzzle. The gun was rapidly aimed and fired. The projectile ripping apart the attacking A/C from a lethal six position. Moments later a shoot would pop out for safe tank recover.
I have heard that this THUD attack had a reasonable chance of success and was used widely during the latter parts of WWII. For the most part the allies never fully understood the mechanics of this attack and consequently never found a successful method to counter it.
Crews for this THUD tank were some of the most elite personal in field of the German Army.

It *appears* to be a tank, but it is not. It's not a Pork-For-You.
Another clue: I'm operating this entity, but not in a controlled way(i.e. Funks answer-"Bug").

Incorrect Cobra, thanks for playing and don't pinch our hostess when you leave the stage.

Hummm...is you testing the new 8' gun of the new Heavy Cruisers of 1.05?
that can be the recoil effect (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
or maybe testing one of the new planes using a tank skin to be funny? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It is the infamous bouncing tank. While driving the... er... the pizza man... I tumbled down a hill... only to bounce when I hit the bottom. I continued to bounce up a few thousand feet while spinning frantically, only to fall back down and bounce again... and again.... made for some interesting screen shots. Is that what is going on here?

Ram, though the photo doesn't show it, that entity is flip flopping, and rolling, and going every direction possible. Incorrect answer, sorry, try Wheel of Fortune, I heard they'll take any contestant on that game. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yep, video footage of the Pizza Man bouncing off mountain walls, when exterior view is on in video, you sometimes see the tank instead of the Pizza Man you were driving.
Beer and Pizza on me at the Con next year Paxil!
-
Thank God... I was beginning to think my flying pizza man was a beer induced hallucination! I'm still a bit dizzy from that whole situation (the spinning pizza man/tank... not the beer) =) Ah well... at least I know what it would be like to be a human superball.
Now that I have a round a beer and pizza waiting for me at next year's con... I'M THERE!

Yeah, my poor pizza guy had this happen to him too. (BTW guys, I think the pizza guy is enabled in the SEA. I was able to pick it once. I don't know about the TA.)
Those who type .plane 33 may get a nice surprise. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
