ram=/= kill anymore?

[Lusche]

Has anyone actually ever tried to purposely ram someone before without the head-on ram? Its rather quite difficult to pull off.

Yes I have.

I have... some of the 80th were on different countries one night and I found Mensa. Instead of shooting a squadmate down, I repeatedly flew very close to him until he collided with me.

It isn't easy unless you're parked behind a bomber formation that isn't firing at you.

Of course not, I'm showing everyone how much you amuse me!

Doesn't take a genius 

i dont think its me that amuses you, i think its your own ignorance that does.

but believe what you wish. i dont argue much with cranky adults who believe age=wisdom nomatter how many times they are proven wrong.

do you not get a kill if you ram someone and they go down?

i rarely ever ram, the only times i will is if im outnumbered and winchester. or if some fool decides to try to HO me.


in the DA earlyer, had 2 spitdweebs trying to HO me, so i decided to ram them in my p47D-25. needless to say they easily fell from the sky, but i didnt get a kill for ether one of them.

so does a ram no longer = a kill?

You say you flew a D-25 in the DA, were out of ammo and still able to ram two other planes?  With the ganging that goes on and the kind of planes involved, I have to call Shenanigans on this story.

I know everyone hates the HO but I will point my guns at any water cooled engine. Of course I do this at long range so as not to ram.

I do also think the game is on a slight downhill slide. I think HTC needs more TV spots and perhaps giving some comps to the Vets..Maybe even throwinga few coin at those that make the game fun.

Thats just my opinion..I could be wrong.

i think i still have the film, the spit16 was spider66, no clue who the 14 was.

[dev1ant]

i survived both rams with just an aileron lost, both spits lost there life.

so, you were about to say...?

The fact that you survived doesn't negate the fact that ramming in any situation is lame.

opinion=/=fact.

why is it lame? because i didnt let the 2 spitdweebs team up on me for an easy kill? that i out manuevered them, set them both up for a RAM, the only chance i had to putting them down? i didnt just fly straight and let them each take turns shooting my winchester plane until finally i blew up, but instead used quick thinking and some witty flying moves to postion myself to RAM them as they tryed to HO me, is that what you mean by "lame"?

Your right, you should get some sleep before you try to type a reply.

Got to love you guys.  You show en example of how to do it the wrong way, naturally it fails, and therefore it does not work lol.

Yes, if you try to ram someone like that it does not work.  You have to fly under them and pull up in front of them.  They collide due to their bad SA as you guys explain here and you fly away untouched.

The other way is head on and pull away the last second.  You are clear and he collides.  You may have some issues with his guns there but hey, you were trying to die anyway lol.

The safest way is to come in from the side as fast as you can but that is harder to time unless you are fighting buffs.

Since you guys are the experts on the subject, can you explain to me how I can collide when someone dives on my six, take tail wheel, aileron, and  PW damage and he gets no collision message?  Can you show me a pic that explains that situation including the contact points that caused the damage?  I am really interested in the tail wheel taking damage from a plane coming from above lol
