So, War Thunder is a WWII semi-simulator game that I used to play a lot of. Here are two crazy stories I participated in in this game that stood out to me:
1. Insta-kill KV-2s
The KV-2 was an experimental heavy tank with a 152mm (that's big) gun. In War Thunder, the gun destroys pretty much anything in one hit, but is normally very hard to aim because the large shells have a lot of drop. However, there is a game mode where you have a drop indicator, which means that on a wide open map, all you have to do is find someone standing still and BOOM, they're dead. In one round, I killed 20+ enemy tanks by just staying behind cover near an open field, popping out every time the gun was loaded, murdering someone across the map, rinse, lather, repeat.
2. PBY land on enemy airfield
This is the dumbest thing I've done in an MMO: with a squad of 6 PBY heavy bombers (meaning we had only one other teammate), my squad and I flew across the map to the enemy airbase, bombed the anti-aircraft guns, and then landed. The enemy fighters all wasted their ammo attacking our ground units, and when they returned to base, we killed them one-by-one with our defensive turrets as they tried to land. The game chat was amazing. My favorite moment:
Me: "Hey, isn't this a terrible idea? Won't they just kill us?"
Squad leader: "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it"
