Your favorite death

[Brooke]

Along the line of your favorite person to shoot down comes:  your favorite death.

Here are a couple of mine.

-----------------

I was flying over our airfield that was under attack by a formation of bombers and was hit in the air by a falling bomb and killed.

-----------------

I was in a tank trying (in my inept way, since I am not practiced in tanks) to help my fellow countrymen defend against an assault by our dastardly sworn enemies.  Hearing tank fire and seeing friendly icons, I drove around to where I thought I might be of some use.

I waited a while, scanning the terrain for enemy tanks and heard the sound of aircraft engines.  I looked up, didn't see anything, and went back to scanning the terrain for enemy tanks.

Then I heard the report of a cannon quickly followed by a hit on my tank.  An enemy was close!  I popped into my command position and hurriedly scanned around, starting from my forward left and proceeding clockwise.  Nothing in my forward quarter, still scanning, and another report and hit.

Now, I could see behind me, and there it was:  an enemy B-25, on the ground, taxiing toward me and firing its front cannon!  For an instant, I froze, flabbergasted by the situation, then started traversing my turret.  But after another hit, I was dead.

Nath got me.  He had landed his B-25, taxied around some trees up toward the rear of my tank and blasted me.

Killing a tank at spawn with an absolutely world-class long distance shot beyond 6000 yards... 

... and ending up in tower because the tank was a freindly one outside icon range

I was flying in B-17's when I came across a CV. The guy in the gun hadn't switched to AA ammo and instead hit me directly in the face with the normal HE shell.

How do I know the shell type?

Today, took off in B-29's from a 5K field. (Normally no problem) my left drone never "hooked up" with me and my right, and exploded. A little po'd I turned around and tried to land crashed 4ft to the left of the runway with my other 29 off the runway. So I bailed out of my wreak to try to get the 3rd B29 safely on the runway, no dice... As soon as I jumped to the 3rd it fell apart on the hill that it was on so I ditched.

But wait there's more! So I re-uped 29's everything went fine, climbed to 27,000ft (doing wash, moping the floor and such) make it to the bish City, first bomb run I have friendly Lanc's under me ( thinking what are the odds we drop the same row of city buildings I line up and drop to what I be leave will be right next to the row he is dropping on) NOPE! I dropped on his row.

As I extend for another round, a tiffy is right under me, I'm not worried, I start to use short burst at long range and score hits, just to let him know I'm not going to make it easy for him.

THEN BOOM!.....

The power goes out! My PC room, pool table room and washer upstairs all turn off. No breakers are tripped and no other rooms are without power. Surely the tiffy had some easy kills, and/or I got disco-ed. Either way my day/week is done until I can figure out why I have no power to 3 rooms without a breaker tripped.

FSO. Rearming b26s on the runway after a very successful run over an axis field

Sitting there laughing with my squad , having a grand old time planning on going back and hammering that base again. Then it happens.......someone yells " TOWER! TOWER!! TOWER!!!!  262 VULTCHING THE FIELD!!!   A second later most of my squad And myself Are in the tower scratching our heads wondering WTF just happened.  And Filth is flying away with more scalps than an Indian barber...

The nightmares  from that frame have finally stopped and the doctor says after another few years of therapy I should be just fine.....oops gotta run, I'm making a new outfit....now where did I put that lotion and new basket I just bought?

Long time ago in AH1.  Late at night a horde was taking Rook base after Rook base unopposed.  I grabbed a Spit V (The first Spit V we had, not the second more potent one) and climbed out towards what I thought would be their next target. As I was flying out I said on the global channel "You won't get the next base unopposed!" or some such.  I arrived to find that I was correct and there were about eight fighters down there so I dove in.  By the time we were in a Luftberry on the deck I'd gotten three of them, but it was clear the end was near as I was out of E and altitude, but then as I come around my circle I just catch a C-47 slipping below the edge of the plateau about 5000 yards away.  I surprise them by my sudden break out of the Luftberry as I head for the C-47 with all the speed a Spit V can muster while behind me P-38s and P-51s try to catch up.  As I cross the edge of the plateau bullets are already flying around me, but I dip down, roll and turn left towards where I see the C-47 has fled gaining a brief respite from the enemy fire.  They can't see which way I went so they have to duplicate my maneuver of determining direction only after they can see over the edge and that buys me enough time to fatally pump the C-47 full of Hispano shells and .303 bullets before the five remaining fighters finally bring me down.

  I am coming to the bottom of a loop.  I either got shot, or went too low, don't remember which.  I smacked the ground, but I didn't hit it hard enough to go boom.  So now I am skidding along the ground, with an enemy plane still shooting at me.  The plane catches on fire, I hit a bump and go airborne for a few seconds, before skidding on the ground some more and finally coming to a stop.
