hee hee hee, similar thing happened to me, but the role was reversed.... one day a few months back asbatt was "yelling" over country channel for help at a v-base, that there were tanks and M3s everywhere, all the ack was down, and he was the lone defender. I thought "sure, I'll tank!" So I upped a T34, fired up, and came rolling out of the VH. He was across the vbase sitting with the back right corner of his tank up against the corner of a building, stopped, facing the other way from me. I don't know if he had his engine shut down or not, but I guess he could hear enemy GV engines as well if he was shut down. I decided I'd head in the direction of the right side of the building he was up against, the area that would have been the most obscured from his position. I guess the mistake I made was not calling out to him on vox that I was there, and I just rolled right up beside him from around the corner of the building. I think I surprised him, because from my pintle gun I watched him swing the turret of his panzer right around and point his main gun at me and BOOM! He exploded! Apparently I was so close he couldn't see my icon floating way up above from his main gun sight.
Well, at that point the fireworks really started, he had a freaking meltdown on range vox! He cussed me good, I can't imagine whether his face was dark red or blue he was so mad! I was laughing so hard I couldn't respond the whole time, and when I did he had already logged!
To add insult to injury the tanks that were attacking the vbase were all laughing about the "awesome killshooting" on 200 right after it happened!
