Oh... my... is this really in the beta right now?
Hilarious, more so because I know it's gonna happen within a month or two to me.
I think I didn't explain it properly. I did not lose my 262, well I did, but later in the sortie
. I took a ping from a towns soft gun to be specific which did not damage any component perhaps a second or two from when I fired on the B17's. It is very unlikely the B17 hit me as I never saw him firing and I did see the AAA round strike my plane. It was also the slower firing soft gun and not the faster firing one that got me if that helps. and I got the award right afterwards. If it isn't a bug perhaps I was so close to the B17s that I took splash dmg?
