Amusing or Oops achievements
« on: October 15, 2013, 12:11:14 PM »
Perhaps it's just me, but I'd like to see some hidden achievements for typical amusing or oops moments. Perhaps just a series of 10 point achievements to prevent excessive intentional use, but I think this would be fun.

Some examples:
Which base was it again? - Drop a bomb on a friendly base
Moar flaps! - Crash within 10 seconds after takeoff from a CV
Resupply? - Drop field supplies on an enemy town while it's white flagged
Too close for comfort - Get a kill in a Mosquito XVI
What does this button do? - Die from your own bomb damage

All but the bold one.  Not sure if supps can resupply enemy buildings, but I can see people doing that then saying "I was doing it for the achievement".

The others I have no problem with, because we all have done them at some point  :aok

I have always assumed that resupping an enemy base would do nothing... You are right of course, if that actually resupplies the base it shouldn't be on the list.

That's may be another oops on my part  :lol

That one could probably be named the txmom achievement. :)

A "Gabreski" achievement.

After getting a "captured" result from a ditch in enemy territory, after you've scored, what, 26 kills? (I don't remember exactly how many he had when this happened, but you get the idea)
