Fatal shot - elephant - 17.05.2008

I was playing again B50's JG27 Campaign, (a little bit enhanced with custom skins for a/c and pilots) and I had this moment I've never experienced before in my whole 6 years of il2 gaming. hock:
I was chassing a hurri to get my fifth vic over Belgium and France and seemed I got him nailed for good.
I had clearly cut off a large piece of it's tail, including rudder, with a sort burst of cannon fire. 8)
I didn't want to expand any more of my precious cannon shells and decided to finish him off with mg fire. The guy was probably a veteran as he was wobbling around to spoil my aim, but he couldn't do much without a rudder either. :twisted:
I aimed for his engine and gave him a lond burst trying not to get any closer as these things have a bad tendency to explode on your face.
Suddenly I saw the canopy ejecting and stopped firing, but not as instantly as I thought at first, as I saw the poor guy going down on his head... :o
While bailling out, he has probably got some of the last rounds that were on air from the moment I saw the canopy flying and glazing against the sun, till stop pressing the trigger. :roll:
This was my first pilot kill that I saw the "enemy" actually "dying" ...
Still amased by this game after all these years! 8) :wink:
The screenshot is untouched, except from size reducing.

elephant, I've seen that happen at least twice recently. (I've been playing for 6 years too, and never encountered it before, either.) I was firing as the enemy a/c was smoking, and the pilot climbed/bailed out the side right into my mg/cannon fire. Funny thing is, I felt bad about it, almost as if it was real. Certainly helped with the immersion, though.
