Festival of headshots?

Mess Room

Playing these days only with aeroplanes. And something interesting is happening.

In one match, I was killed by a headshot. Okay. It happens. The right angle and the right distance can happen when you’re a pilot.

But 5x in a row???

Okay. I tried another map, with another team, another kind of plane, now a fighter. And I was killed by a headshot 2x.

Just now a fighter player said he had been killed by a headshot. And that it was the second time that happened in the same match.

Anyone else experiencing this?

No I fly everyday, its very rare, only ever when my plane was already dead.

I actually still do shoot planes with my belt fed MGs from time to time - and if a plane manages to fly low and fly in a straight line, doing heavy bursts while having your bipod deployed can indeed grant you headshots from time to time.

But multiple in a row seems still very unlikely.

I guess you don’t have a replay right?

Oh yeah I always give a burst up in that 1 in a million shot, has worked all of 3 times, and at least one of those was more, I was the only guy to shoot him before he crashed.

I find AT rifles are far better for AA work surprisingly since for some reason they just rip entire wings off despite not really meant to be doing that.

If I fly like a fool, it will (and has) happened to me. However, I have been getting some nasty pilot snipes with Yak 9T, which feels great.

To be honest, I have taken out many planes with a bolt-action rifle. Having said that, though, every time it has been when they have been coming in on a dive, not that far from the ground. I aim directly for the cockpit and with only the head showing above the cockpit, the only thing you can hit is the head. When you guys have taken a headshot, was it in this sort of scenario? If it is then I don’t think it’s a cheat etc.
