My best WTF moment was less of a question WTF, but rather a HOLY noodles, WTF!?!! moment.

It was Saturday, squad night, and some squaddies and I upped in B-25s hoping to do some base killing. Now, I'm being the good wingman and looking all over for enemy cons that might sneeze lead in our general direction.  I look out my 12 'o clock high and see a 262 diving on us. I pulled my 25 nose up into the con and opened up with 75mm and 8 .50 cals. As far as I know, I didn't get hit, while the 262 lost a wing followed by an explosion caused by the HE round's delayed effect. I then died to a uberwind from 1.5k out. But still!

<S> un-named 262 pilot for this thread

Had one about a 2 or 3 weeks ago. I was up in a c205 about 800 out from a 190 that was on the tail of a friendly p38. I was thinking the p389 was going to be cactus unless I done something soon. I let go a short burst, less than 1/2 a second, to get the feel of where they were landing and bang, off comes the 190's elevators. Another guy was right behind me and he couldn't believe how good a shot I was (BTW I'm one of the worst shots in the game) the result was only an assist so someone had had a good go at him before me. Wish I could always shoot like that. WTF

Some squadies and i where in the AvA fighting each other.  I was in a 190A-8 begin chase by a spit 9.  He took my tail off and my 190 fliped and end up going backwards.  At the time i was going backwards, that spit was on the 12 so i open up and killed him before i die.  HEHEH, he had no idea how he die till i told him.

The other day I was flying a P-51 and I see a low yak in a shallow dive, so I dive after him. When I get to about 700 yards of his six I open fire and something falls off (it was his vertical stabilizer). Since I was unable to identify the flying debri I continue following him and keep getting closer. When I get to about 400 yards his tail slides to the left and turns the whole plane making it a huge airbrake filling up my screen. I tried to pull out but the only thing that I had time to successfully do is run the word "$h1t" though my mind.  


P.S. I still got the kill for the guy

Worst was... shot an LVT with a rocket, it bounced off the LVT and hit me.

IIRC, it happened in December-January-ish. I was cussing up a storm and laughing at the same time.

had one yesterday - upped a Typh with 1000lbers to drop a cruiser which was shelling our base. level at 12k trying to dodge the puffy ack, perfect dive into the CV group, release and egress at 2.9k without taking a single ack hit. took out a bunch of guns but didnt drop the cruiser which I can usually kill in one pass. hmm time to rearm then.

short final at 180ish and the Typh feels even more unstable than usual, then I notice I still have a bomb onboard. doh! while telling my squaddies what a noob ive just been I jettison the remaining bomb, realising too late that I'm only doing 160 at 800' and 1000lb of high explosive is about to detonate underneath me, then BOOM! I'm in the tower. double-doh!

Best collision ever?

Went after a spit which I thought didn't see me. I got within 1.5K before he started turning around on me. I decided I'd go for the kill anyways thinking he can't turn around before I get a shot on him. Just as I started to shoot, he got his nose around on me, but not soon enough as I blasted his tail off. I pulled up a bit to saftley pass by his wreckage of a plane when his plane nosed up right into me! Last thing I saw oil everywhere, and my wing 2K behind me and falling.

Back when I was a noob, I flew a set of buffs a few light years to the enemy HQ.  In the bombsite, finger on the button. Almost there. OK now - POOF.

WTF?!!!  Discoed! AAARRRGGGHHH! 

[JunkyII]

Wait I think I got a WTF film which was good, I was having a fight with Tongs near a CV. We were rolling Scissors really nice then i start going towards him and see a 5 inch puff between us and he goes boom ROFL

I think one of my "best" WTF moments, was upping a goon to a town we were trying to capture, staying low to the deck, avoiding enemy fighters, my teammates clearing the way for me, town is about to pop, and there are enemy GV's rolling towards the down from the VH that just popped.  I skillfully land the goon next to the town and drive it right up to the outside buildings... hit the "jump" button, and out pops a box of supplies.  WTF!?

LOL, how many times have i heard people accendently select supplies instead troops.  Thats a shame you did that.

Back before the Il-2 was remodeled, I had the small bomb load (i used to be able to drop one in a pickle jar during my prime, I am out of practice now). Anyway, I dropped one right on a panzer, literally right on top of it. I saw the hit sprite and everything. The bomb bounces up in the air and starts going backwards. the bomb whistle sound is playing backwards (funniest part). You should have seen my face! lmao! The bomb then lands about 200 ft away after about 10 seconds. I was lmaoing until i discoed 10 minutes later! By far the funniest thing I ever had happen during my 2+ years of AH.
