Funny mishaps you guys will experience flying online.
 

Well, it's a daily occurrence for me on the PC version and soon it will be for you also on the 360. I'm talking about all the fun little stuff you will experience ingame that never ceases to bring a smile to your face. :grin:

Some of my favorites:

1. teammates colliding in midair
I always chuckle seeing 2 allied planes shearing there wings off in a midair collision. Usually this occurs during a heated session of shoulder shooting :) Sometimes you are lucky enough to see it when newbs are trying to fly in formation. Either way it never gets old~!

2. planes dropping bombs too low
Be it an idiot low level bombing in a B-17 or someone dive bombing a P-47 it's always a great joy to see the concussion blast from a 500lb bomb blowing the delivery boys plane to smithereens!

Any other PC vets feel free to add ? :cool:

Shooting a fuel dump as your team mate flies over it ranks pretty high on my list.

Allies not knowing who's who, and starts shooting at a friendly. I actually had this happen to me once. Made me SO mad.

haha! Haven't had the pleasure yet. Sounds like a good time though :grin:

For some reason I'm always the flight lead now whenever we are doing anything involving shooting up bases.

I actually did this. Must have had a brain cramp or something, because I was attacking some bombers, and I could clearly see I was about to crash into one, but I didn't do anything and crashed. After I was asking why I didn't do anything? Weird....

I just had that happen to me earlier today on the zeke's vs wildcats server. Took off from the carrier and not 2 minutes into climbing I had another f3f bnz me from above. I was just like ....ok...... The guy promptly left when he realized what he had done.

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

like a deer frozen in the headlights :grin:

Something like that, but that was the only time I can remember doing something like that. So now I usually steer clear of any bombers unless I'm coming up from below, and can get a quick blast from there?

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.

I always thought it was quite fun to be half way through a take off run only to find someone coming in to land in the opposite direction.

Haha, I remember all the guys in our virtual airline company were playing private session matches together for fun, and we were doing bombing runs, where some of the other members would man the guns.

Anyway, getting to the point, we were flying in a formation of 10 bombers, now unfortunately I don't remember the name of the bomber, but it was big enough to carry a heavy payload, have gunners, and cannons for the pilot to score kills if possible.

We were flying in a Concorde formation pretty closely, and I happened to be top gunner on the second plane behind lead, so I got to see it all happen. Anyway, as we managed to survive our way to the bombing site, only loosing one of the planes rudder and engine, we were all preparing to drop our payload.

As soon as the lead dropped his payload you can see the bombs starting to fall out of his bay doors, just then there was a burst of gunfire from my bombers cannons.

The pilot franticly yelled, "Oh shit!" as the rounds of the cannons met with the cluster of bombs setting them off blowing all of us out of the sky in a dominos type effect. The pilot of my bomber then said, "Damnit, sorry guys, I thought that button was for my bombs, apperently it was for firing second cannons..."

We all had a pretty good laugh out of that as it also looked really awesome. Thats just one of the many stories I could share, just one of my favorites. ;)

Lol :lol:

I would have loved to see that from the point of view of an enemy fighter. Was the plane you were flying the B25 Mitchell?

I once got strafed like three times by an allied fighter while taking off. Luckily I made it into the air, and showed him/her that I was an friendly.

Yupe, thats the one, fine aircraft, and pretty maneuverable too. Fun to fly.

Had a good one on Ace Combat 4 once....

A friend of mine and I are playing split screen. The level starts you off head to head at the same altitude with a tower in the middle. While I went high he went low and I dropped a 500lb bomb right on his cockpit. All you heard was my laughter and the narators voice: "pickle".

my best is when u see a noob do some dive bombing and crash into the thing he just bombed
another funny thing is when people strafe their own men

On the take-off strip waiting for my turn. The guy behind decides that it's time to go and promptly crashes in to the back of me (a lot of dust from the plane in front obscured his view he said).

On taking off the guy behind decides to test his guns and blows me up.

lol
