you can clearly see the pilot pulling the handgun out of the right window and shooting you :P
After watching it again, I do see that handgun! It almost looks like a Colt .45!!!
Oddly, I wasn't overly angry when this happened. I was more surprised. Initially, I thought someone was behind me, which is why I spun around. After seeing nobody there, I saved a replay to review later. That's when I noticed I was shot down by the plane in front of me. The one I was shooting down.
Da fuq??? He shit himself, throwing it out and into your engine or something? That or the hanfgun.
Well, if nothing else works you alwyas have the: "T´was Toe´s fault!"/"Blame Toe!"
Personally, I subscribe to the 'magic bullet' theory.
Plane you are chasing fires forward .... bullet travels for 100 metres, stops, hangs in mid air, turns itself around, remains hanging in mid air, you fly into it.
Deflections of bullets off of enemy planes are possible (though not very likely).
If you still have the replay of that match, as well as the Game Log (the .clog file), I'd send it in to Gaijin ASAP. I wouldn't call it cheating, just that something very weird happened. Do it here: http://forum.warthunder.com/index.ph...-model-issues/
War Thunder is a Server Side game, as opposed to a Client Side game. All the actions you do first get sent to the server, and are verified, and then back to you and everyone in the match before they are considered to have "Happened." So 99.9999% of the time when you see something on the monitor, that's the way it is. So it's very unlikely that he pulled some sort of trick, and drifted behind you, and shot you.
I would be surprised if they've even added the physics for deflection damage!
I'm flying Japan...that's the problem. BANZAI!!!

Or, see below for a quick version of that thread:

That is amazing!
Maybe he has deflector shield upgrade!
I have had this happen a few times, never sent in a report. I know I have said something to other squad members the four or five times it has happened. Very strange, if they give you anything other than reported I would like to know. Have been some frustrating moments here lately.
