This is AH lore! We all see cool and weird stuff. Rarely you experience gems like these. Happy to see you Nikl5 and appreciate you bringing this one back from the ether :cheers:

Probably my best "move" ever in AH was to clear a squadie that was dragging a N1K on the deck by dive-bombing the N1K with a 500 lbs bomb from the bay of my mossie.

The bomb detonated perfectly under the N1K and insta-killed it. I am sure it was a WTF moment for that player as well as for my self because I hardly belived it would work.

Best part is that I got it on flim :)

I used to do this to vulchers in WBs.  I'd .dfuse my bombs and strategically drop them so the vulcher was blown to smithereens.   Lots of rage PMs over that.   :rofl

I remember in one of the scenarios we learned real fast to not get to low when attacking a field with rockets. Think we lost 3 or 4 in the first pass to friendly fire.
