Mine has to be my first Sim Strike match that I played. I'm playing with a friend who was flying a bomber with me as escort. The game starts with me on his wing. We head to target trying to climb to get a little alt. Half way to target we hit a cloud bank and get sperated. I start flying circles to see if I can find my big friend and without realizing it get turned around and end up flying back to my base. At the same time he dies and happens to spawn as I come out of the clouds a few thousand feet over him and our base. (Now mind you I still think I'm over the other teams base) Remembering the other team had a few He 111's I attack. In my dive I see someone else attacking him and figured we would make this two on one and finish the 111 off quickly. I over shoot who I thought was on my team and latch onto the bomber. My supposed team mate backs off while I proceed to throw everything I had at this bomber. At first the bomber wasn't shooting back (which I did find strange...) but after a few passes it was ON. We then get into a running battle that lasted almost 10 mins. My planes shot to sh@#, the 111 is shot to sh@# and the guy who I thought was my wingman was just watching the whole show. I'm pretty heated now, the battle was so intense I was standing on the edge of my couch making slight passing referrences at the 111's pilots mother and country of orgin. It just woundn't go down!!! I finally lay in with a finishing shot and down my foe. I'm about to ask who was watching that spectacle when the guy I thought was my teammate swoops in and kills me. At about the same time my friend realizing his mic was muted starts screaming how some insane idiot in a 109 on our team just shot him down after a long running battle.

Had to be the best face palm ever!!!

During a realistic match, I got on an opponent's six and opened fire, only to trim the wings off an ally that was performing a sudden 90 degree climb in between us, out of nowhere.

Was me, edal and another fella, us two onto edal, he was flogging us and I finally dived in right on his tail and thought "shit my team mate" so throttled past to the plane he was chasing, fired, and realized it was my team mate, just as edal turned my plane into Swiss cheese

I think the most embarrasing thing would be when i was chasing a 109 had him in my sights when there was a long burst shot vertically across my nose by a team mate i twisted to avoid the fire asking what the 'ell he was doing, only to see a blazing yak scream past minus a wing , if i had been flying my original course it would have hit me. Many apologies and thanks to that guy.
