As many late night map wins I’ve helped, still haven’t gotten the troop that won the war, someday maybe.

I still have yet to get the troop that captures a base. Haven't bothered to try in over a decade, and I don't see myself trying it again for another one.  :airplane:

Then there is the goy who landed near an enemy field, taxi’d to the edge of a hill overlooking an enemy field, and sat there rocket vulching.

Only about the 3rd or 4th time I’ve heard this mentioned in my combined years… funny either way  :rofl

I’ve been killed by bombs taking off, not as funny  :(

One for the books! Definitely very weaksauce. IOS thinks that’s two words btw - but we know better

I got it in an M3, but it disappeared when I finally let my account go due to certain reasons with the game

Well now that sounds like a lot of fun.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

I had that happen once. I was doing a zoom climb under a bomber in a desperate attempt to kill it before it dropped.  The bomber dropped, and I died.

I once saw a picture of a real life B-17 with a hole in it's tail from the bombs being dropped by the bomber above it. So it did happen in real life.

My greatest accomplishment was killing a goon mid air in a shore battery but this would take the cake

Crazy how the explosion made a crater in the air when you hit the goon with the shore battery.

Leprtard from the LCA was the first victim/instance I heard about, circa 2006, during an FSO.
Ripped the wing clean off and wiped out the formation.
I think 96Delta or Cobra516 had the film on youtube.
I never attacked a buff from below over it target after seeing it.

Yo Eights!  All fine here.  I try to get in an hour or so, at least once a week, but there is still much to do and not much time to do it.

Glad that you and yours are healthy and happy.

Yes it was Bino and hopper got 1 of my drones,I on the other hand took out 7 friendlies one FSO. I was awarded 3 kills of squaddies with guns and 4 with bombs. As we approached the target several formations were slightly below me as I was dropping ords,IIRC I got midi and Daddog,Daddog’s kid and maybe Ghosth. Needless to say I was relegated to tail end Charley from that point on. :old:
