Auto Eject

[Redddevil911 0]

Drawn raid over WP airfield, attacking the runway. Me and my wing are flying Tornado GR Mk. 1A. I have my wing roll in to draw fire. I roll in shortly after, line up on target release weapons I get three out of four good hits, go full AB and start to pull up and out. It's at this time I hear my wing call out "SAM LAUNCH", I look out the left side of the A/C and see the contrail. As we all know if you can see it you can beat it! Drop Chaff, roll her over and pull back on the stick hard right bank, I think the danger has passed when then I hear the SAM exploded near my A/C. Not more than a couple of seconds later I was auto ejected, I could have got my bird home she was not that badly damaged!

 

My A/C was not completely destroyed as I got to watch her fall to the ground using F6. So my question is this why did I get ejected from my A/C, this has never happen before has anyone had this happen to them?

You were not auto ejected, you were killed. That is what happens when you die in the sim, you can see your plane tumble to earth.

Yeah bro, you got that "Behind Enemy Lines" scenario happening to you when the F-18 got blown up, except you didn't survive in this case. I've noticed that in some cases, SAMs will fire in pairs, so you might have had two, not one, missiles fired at you.
