Shooting down a planes with tank destroyers, and tank cannons in general (as opposed to MGs)
Also one match where I shot down 3 planes with the Pz III L 50mm cannon.
These and a goofy air to air kill with rockets to take out a nuke.
where did you get your profile icon from, i love it
Nice :)
I have put all anti air medals on my profile page. It is not that I dislike CAS, I actually have a great respect for good pilots, I just take pride at being good anti air player.

Well done. Let me guess, you don’t sit in spawn like most others using SPAA.
It goes without saying:) and now that I started flying as well lately, I experienced myself how defenseless pilot can be, if AA pops up in unexpected places. Those are surprisingly rare though, usually it is safe bet to expect AA only in spawn.
Once while playing a lower tier (2 or 3 I think) I managed to get an aircraft spawn but realized that instead of adding matching planes to tank tier, I had to settle with a swordfish. So assuming it would be a suicide run, I decided to attempt a low altitude bombing run.
As expected on approach, I was dodging tank shells twords the target which were 2 sniping tank destroyers who were terrorising the rest of the team. After getting in real low and having a safe enough timer on my bombs, I came in close and dropped them just as an enemy fighter dove down to take me out. I got a triple kill as the bombe hit and killed both tanks, and the explosion also took down the plane diving onto me.
Usually I would just brush off my good luck, but to do that in a biplane and still manage to get back to the airfield and rearm just felt good. Especially since I wouldn’t consider myself a master player in this game. Usual K/D is around 1-3 lol

Not the prettiest tunnel run, needs improvements.
However, it did work out:
One day I’ll be good enough to do it back to back I hope. Maybe after getting some proper rudder pedals.

Hard to choose. I have 3 favorite moments.
#1
That one time I was alone in the F8E against 5 or 6 players and won by a funny turn of events.
I was in the airfield just starting to take off and there were 3 planes diving for the kill. 2 died to AA before getting me.
The funny part: the third one was lining up to shoot me in the runway at low altitude and I managed to lift my nose while on the ground just enough to kill him in a headon and I survived the process.
Then I took off and found another guy hidding in the coulds near my airfield with the F8E’s radar and then killed him. Another dude just crashed somewhere. The last dude was on a J35 (old overpowered FM) and we had a long dogfight where he started behind me, eventually, I started gaining positioning in a spiral climb and he tried to ditch out and got an aim9D on his engine.
I have a replay file but I cannot open it since it’s very old

My 2nd favourite moment was winning a 1v4 after landing on enemy airfield just for the giggles at the time the airfield AAA was bugged.
Those guys were looking for me around the map and me just chillin at their airfield. When one of them comes to rearm and sees me in their runway I managed to take off while avoiding a strafe and then I kill all of them.
Here is the video
I had some very high-score games, but nothing extraordinary happened in those matches other than getting a lot of kills. My highest AirRB kill count was with the A5C with 9 kills, nothing out of the ordinary, just kept outrating multiple F-5s most of the game.

I’m also proud of this one. Uptiered in the GR.7 with 7 kills (5 gun kills) + 1 stolen (limping jet was killed by teammate before the severe damage was a thing) A lot of dogfighting multiple people at once

I am most proud of being a skilled wallet warrior.
