One of the hazards of engagements in a furball.  Sucks, but it happens.  Short of implementing some other odd penalization, it's going to happen if you don't check your fire fast enough.  Great screenshot.

This happened in Melee with kill shooter ON?

I can personally vouch for that statement being a recipient of CAS FF myself.
It doesn't do the person behind the weapon any good mentally either.

It was pretty funny, I gave a good laugh because I fired probably 2-3 rounds of 30mm and my  plane just blew up. It was also a hard shot I nosed up into it and shot and saw the enemy plane and sku on his lagging 6 and I hit sku instead of the bandit :D

Knew a guy who was rabbit hunting and shot his own dog that way.

Having it happen in AH is better.

my greatest skills are hoing and rocket hoing.

but i hardly ever shoot kill myself. actually I'm most likely to blow myself up hitting a defenseless town.

I agree, and your post reminder me of a time I was hunting Hungarian Partridge with a guy and he kept repeatedly blasting rattlesnakes that he'd see in the sagebrush,  and I'd be alternately yelling to stop my dog who being an eager retriever would run towards gunshots, and the shooter to stop for fear that he would shoot my dog.  Made it real clear to me why I was uncomfortable hunting with someone who liked to mix beer with his hunting....never again.

It's why I no longer go out on the first two or three days of deer season here.
