I had a good one that should be an achievement! I wouldn't have thought this was possible.

I was flying a D9 with full fuel and a half full drop tank. I was attacking an A20 that was on the deck.

I began my gunnery pass at about 340IAS. As he turned into my attack I has to load up the Gs to make the shot. I pulled to blackout to try and push a bad position and take the shot. The film review showed that I had pulled over 7G in the turn and snap rolled at over 300IAS. I came out of the blackout just in time to see the tree that killed me.

Found out a couple days ago to not be close to the building you’re aiming at when you launch a mortar from the Sd.Kfz. 251.

I have one somewhat similar.
I was licking my chops coming down on some lancs about 15K in my tempest. Was padding my 122-0 K/D. I was going about 400 in my tempest. Slightly pulled up to get a shot, somehow perma blacked out (fastest one I'v ever done, was almost instant perma black out). I'm raging at my computer to wake up. I wake up about 10 feet from the ground and nose darted going about 650. There went my precious K/D all time high.

Before I learned how to shoot long-range from an M4 Lyric was acting as FFO for me and announced the enemy was releasing troops to retake the field we had just taken! I fired at the maproom while he strafed troops, and killshot from about 10k.

His remark was, "I didn't feel a thing!"

I was at a decked enemy base keeping up relations in my P-38J, when I made an inverted pass through a hanger and tapped my left wing exiting....

That one must ahve happened to almost everyone...

One day I kept spawning with a panzer at a camped spawn point over and over to find the b***tard that killed me 10 times in a row.
This time I spawned and immediately looked around in gun modus. I turned the turret and voila, 20 ft. beside me there he is.
I shot and and insta-towered.... was a green guy that spawned at the same time as me.  :rofl

First time ever i upped a 262. Had absolutely no idea what to do and why, climbed up to like 20k when seen some NOE lancs almost right underneath me.
The result was a mach 1 lawn dart.

Dove on a set of B-26s in a 262. I cut a beautiful picture as I zoomed past their nose nearing warp speed. I made quite the impressive crater.

Much the same, but with a 163. Looking for some strat runners to find them about 10k below me. Rocket powered lawn dart.

Here I thought I was the only one to do that.

I got killed by a shore battery in a 262 once (mid air, not otg).

Not exactly 'killed myself' but still to this day have no idea how it happened.
