Default Re: Is this cheating? Being sniped in cockpit while flying?

Additionally, I was flying fast and at about medium height, say 750ft off the ground. I asked the guy if he was cheating, (nicely, mind you) and he said no, but just lead the plane.

Honestly, I didn't believe him, not because I'm an incredible pilot, I'm not bad, but doing it twice on the same map while I was flying a spit at full speed, just seemed, well, impossible.

Since then I've tried to duplicate those shots and have never been able to. So what do you guys think? Has anyone here made shots like these? Sniping a pilot from a plane as he / she flew at full speed? (Again, not taxiing)

If so, HOW DID YOU DO IT?!!

If you have a screenshot of such a kill, I'd love to see it.

Thanks all.
I've killed over flying pilots in cockpit with my Bar1918 or my STG44.
I know this because their planes crashed while intact.
Did you bother to look at your screen afterwards and see just what
player/weapon killed you? Sniping a pilot in flight? Must have been
a one in a thousand to do that. Seldom do snipers kill moving
targets in one shot . Situation has to be just right. Coming directly at ya.
Could happen. Check to see who and what weapon killed ya.
