Here is one I did one time intentonally try but succeeding by pure blind luck.

Firing from the big guns on a CV on your own town using map aiming only , And killing the M3 trying to take it.




I ONLY ever use map aiming...?

I killed 2 Jeeps doing it, too :rofl

What are some of the things that are possible but almost never happens in AH?
And who has done it?
(feel free to add more)

1. 8-Inch/5-Inch HE guns shooting down planes.
2. Three+ planes collision.
3. Nailing a plane/kill during your death spiral (lost tail/wing)
4. Killing someone during a blackout from pilot wound. (Spray and pray)
5. Killing planes with GV's main guns (happens a lot, but still a lot of luck/skill involved)
6. Killing planes/GVs with the M4/75 Calliope or the Sdkz 251 rockets.
7. Killing a plane with a chute.
8. Killing a tank with a 50kg bomb (has to be a *direct* hit)
9. Getting killed by friendly auto ack/puffy ack. (Not as rare but still doesn't happen a lot)
10. One hit/burst kills from .303s

#3, #5, #9, and #10 has happened to me.



Here is something that has happen to me twice, die in mid air by a bomb drop from a bomber. Once in a P-51 that a bomb drop by a Ju-88. Just like a deer in zone into the headlight, I just watch it come down and cross in front of me and boom. Dead. The second time was in a 262 climbing up to a B-24. The SOB just drop a bomb on me and boom. Dead!   :rofl

Does me landing 2 kills count as a 1-in-a-million-chance?

I have video of a #1, three kills in two shots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMRcqXZYYbM .  I was on the leaderboard in that scenario frame... thing was all my kills were from the ground  :lol

But the most one-in-a-million thing I've done was in my Yak-9U, chasing a bunch of planes chasing a friendly, I dove in behind and got two P-51 kills in one .5 second burst of the 20mm.  I was aiming at the one nearer to me, got a cockpit hit, and the extra rounds got the guy further away from me as well, also a cockpit hit.  Both were P-51s.  I'll never have that happen again.

That's a lie. Everyone knows that will never happen.

One of the funniest kills I ever got was years back flying a K4. The map was just about to reset and I was RTB:ing in a K4. Noticed a Ju87 coming towards me much lower and I only had one 30mm left. I pulled around and dropped my nose straight down and and let go that one single 30mm from 1.5k above him (saw the distance when I was banking) without even seeing him under my nose. Just a careless toss of remaining ammo and pulled back up and started back towards home base and within few seconds got awarded TWO kills.  :huh

The Arabian Knights rotate countries each month.  A couple of months back, on the first, I see a dot coming towards a CV.  I up in a 5 incher and see a Stuka headed in. At 4K I start tossing rounds in their general direction.  At 3.5K a luck shot connects and they go boom.

I look down and is says "You shot down AK****" (name withheld).  He forgot it was the first....

Flew a 262 over the base to defend, arrive and target an F6F near the field, close to 400 at over 500mph, friendly field ack shooting at F6F pings my pilot for an instant trip to the tower. I was just pulling on the trigger as well.

I've died hundreds of times to friendly puffy ack before, but never from a friendly ack gun.

This was a few years ago, but I nailed a low con with the shore battery.  Apparently there is some shrapnel in that water spout.
