What are your Great RB3D multiplayer tales?For me,getting shot down at the first minute,scoring victories by accidental collisions,and only going in dogfights without more than 3 wingman.I was bombing a drome (alone

)damaged a few hangars untill a brit took off.I tried heading for the hills,knowing that im going to get shot down.Of course,he did,then my crate was a blaze,I saluted to my foe,and plunged to my death.But now,the multiplayer refuses to work

.I like to hear some more tales from everyone else.

The best story I have happened about 5 years ago.

I was flying in the mod Full Canvas Jacket with 6 of my pals from Jasta 5 (the clan). It's long dead, but I used to be Lowenhardt on the site. I was an Oberleutnant, and we were doing a patrol across the front. It was a custom map, and we were scheduled to head due west from our base at Douai.

About 15 minutes into the patrol, whilst we flew Fokker DR.1's with custom paint schemes, we spotted 12 SPAD fighter, and we immediately engaged despite being outnumbered by half.

The dogfight went pretty intensely, including a few times that I nearly collided with a couple of teamies and once when I almost flew straight into this noobish idiot and his crappola SPAD-flying technique. Needless to say, he wasn't a challenge, and I brought him down in flames. He jumped (we were using a custom game mode which actually ALLOWS you to bail out) from about 400 feet and fell to his death.

We got to flying along and this one I thought I'd gotten (his name was like [404] Jeeves) pulls out in front of me and SMASHES off HALF my upper wing after diving out from a cloud bank, despite the fact his plane was shredded and he had a visible oil leak with smoke trailing out the back. I was quite pissed off by this, but he was much worse off, as his SPAD had completely lost its rudder and elevators, hence, sending it into a wild and uncontrollable spin, during which it broke to pieces.

I managed to get home, but I jumped out from the Fokker after it went into a fatal spin from about 12 feet. I was OK, but the plane was totaled. We lost one guy, but the plane was OK (he'd been wounded during the dogfight and managed to land, only to bleed to death on the ground).

Total kills for this battle: 5

Fun and l33t.
