Sometimes I just spectate on that server and watch all the poor souls trying to take off and land on the carriers ...good times!

Once that happened to me as I took off from my own airfield. I saw another 109 and the AA wasn't firing at him so I figured he had to be friendly, and since he looked like he wanted to form up on me I let him close right up as I was climbing to altitude, only for him to blow me apart at point bank range.

Apparently he thought he had been stalking me, had patiently held his fire until the last second and then let rip, at which point it was far too late for me to do anything about it. The lack of AA should have alerted him to the base he was coming up on being his own but apparently not. Maybe he came from flying another sim.
