TX3RN0BILL Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I crashed my MiG-31 Firefox because I ran out of fuel before I could manage to get back to base... ... ON A SCRAMBLE INTERCEPT MISSION!!! Oh, and to add insult to the injury, my base got wasted by the enemy... though at least I made sure most of them didn't live to tell the tale back at their base... most of them...

macelena Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I once attempted to dive bomb a bridge with a tactical nuke. (And, I missed.) Wrong bridge? Quote
Stick Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Playing one of the first missions of the six-day war I got real sleepy and landed with my gear up...Ka-boom! What a waste! Quote
charlielima Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Wrong bridge with a nuke ? 1. Inadvertant contact with terrain features while going to the fridge for a barley pop with wing leveler on. 2. Getting bounced and zapped by MIGs for the same reason as #1 3. Getting zapped by an SA-2 in my SPAD at 400 ft AGL with my ECM pod on in a canyon. 4. Posting without reading specs with poor spelling skills. :ph34r: CL Edited January 6, 2009 by charlielima Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 This happend to me in ATF from Janes .. was flying the B-2 on a nice mission and as I returned and try to land I forgot the landing gear .. cause of beeing a bit sleepy Quote
+JonathanRL Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I just came from a humiliating event in Fighter Ace III (Multiplayer) where I had flown the TBF Avenger against enemy ships, dropped the torp, and got ambushed by a Zero played by a top ranking player. I managed to speed away from him after damaging his engine with the Tail Guns, jeering and taunting, looking back....flying straight into a Dover-sized cliff. The Zero guy never let me hear the end of it. Quote
ezlead Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I was flying an F-4m on a fighter sweep. I got tired of waiting for my wingman to shoot down a Mig-21. I pulled up in front of him,he then hosed me with an AIM-9 and then proceeded to hose the Mig with an AIM-7. I laughed for several minutes for being to anxious.(The AI worked to good) Quote
coolpilot Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 In one of the first missions I flew I was in a huge dogfight (12 F-4´s vs 16 MiG 17´s) I had a MiG in perfect gun firing position, so I fired and my element lead got in the way, I killed both the MiG and my number 3 Here´s a simple diagram explaining how it happened : Quote
i90807065 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 When I got the mission editor, i got cocky and tried to fight 16 MiG-21s....with an F-4...b... another time I wondered what would happen if I flew a P-51D vs 2 Su-27s (modded to be 37s) the only thing in my favor were that we all only had guns...

deep Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 After what seemed like a 10-minute dogfight in BoB2, I spiralled down in my Spitfire enjoying the view of the Me109 going down in flames into the English Channel, too late realizing that I was going too fast and joining him a few seconds later.

+Dave Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I got killed by an F-4B, in a dogfight, flying a MiG-17F... Whats embarrassing about that? That happened alot in the Vietnam War. Now if you were flying an F-14 and got shot down by a Piper Cub, then I can see that being embarrassing. Quote
Rodent Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 After what seemed like a 10-minute dogfight in BoB2, I spiralled down in my Spitfire enjoying the view of the Me109 going down in flames into the English Channel, too late realizing that I was going too fast and joining him a few seconds later. Think you can hide from me in the channel do you? I shall not give up pursuit! Quote
Rodent Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 There was mention of doing damage to yourself with a bomb. I have cluster bombed myself too. I think I flew lower than where the bomb normally fragments into the bomblets so it kind of just blew up on my wing. Quote
macelena Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Intercept mission. 4xMirageIIIE against a lot of Blinders. Loosed my Aim-9Bs (no effect) and was sweeping with DEFAs while avoiding bursts from tailgunners. Suddenly my aircraft explodes, by the sidewinder of my wingman. PS: Since then, my loadout for scrambles and CAPs do NOT include sidewinders. Edited January 7, 2009 by macelena Quote
Icarus999 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I shot myself down with the stinger missile.... more than once.... if I fire it pulling any G's at all I get to Eat it. The AI pilots must have laughed all the way back to base. Quote
DarthRevan Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) I killed myself with 84s when attacking a runway I think I flew my F-4E to low. I have also done the misstake to take out me, my whole flight, some enemy flights and the target with a Nuc. I don't remember which plane I flew that time. Edited January 7, 2009 by DarthRevan Quote
Lamanai Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 In a recent mission I flew on WOE we were in a rather large engagement against 16 or so MiG-21 (My flight was using the F-4E). After a minute or so of manuvering with one pesky fishbed I managed to get ina good firing position for my AIM-9J and fired at the MiG, however I failed to notice that one of my squadmates was infront of me, as he was slightly bellow me on the blindspot under my nose. A second or so after I fired, he pulled up so I was able to see him and the sidewinder struck him... Quote
