I've seen some pretty crazy things in BF2, and I've seen some pretty impossible stuff. But never have I seen a tank look up and blow a jet out of the sky before. Never.
There I am, flying along at 1000 mph. I spot a tank, in a second I'm over the base. In another second two 2000-lb bombs will be dropping on top of him and I will be in a tight turn to return to the carrier.
Except, in that one second interval (and that's a generous estimate for the time it takes an afterburner jet to fly over a base) the tank points up and blows me out of the sky with its main gun. Just like that. Thump ka-BOOM, I die.
It takes a pretty decent tank gunner to hit a helicopter with the main gun. But a JET? Impossible.
Unfortunately I didn't take the screenie soon enough to catch the debris of my jet (it hit the ground), but just LOOK.
Is that POSSIBLE?
PS. Yeah, I know it was immature to shout 'hacks' but I was freaking shocked.
