The other day I was in 9KOE-A at 2011.12.06 20:12:00 when I was encroached upon by a Federation Navy Comet with a MWD online. I turned his way and at 50km's I launched a bomb and flew as fast as I could away. With no time to turn, you can bet the pilot was unprepared as he suddenly found himself in a pod.
Has this ever happened with any other bomber pilots? Getting a nice kill, on accident, with a bomb?

We had an incident in our WH some while back that is not the same, but is similar, I guess. An alliance was trying to camp our WH, I guess in the hope that we were low on fuel, I am not sure. Anyway, they set up warp bubbles at the exit and hung out there in bombers and other cloaked ships. Anyway, we were coming and going occasionally in SBs or CovOps and they would try to decloak us and/or bomb us. Kinda fun for a break in the normal routine. On one particular day, we were 'running the bubble' to get some people in, and I was on over-watch inside the wh. Our ships appeared for a moment and a few bombs were dropped, but nobody had a MWD on so it was kinda pointless....until a wreck appeared! Turns out, two random pilots who had been wandering w-space were cloaked and motoring to the wh through the bubble, unaware that there were about 10 ships or so inside or coming inside the wh at that moment. A Purifier was apparently right in the cross hairs and could not tank the combined bombs, nor could his pod (although it might have died to direct fire after the bombs, I am not sure). |

Well, I can say I was highly amused by the action of actually getting a proper kill of an MWD'd frigate with a single bomb. <3 Manticore. |

I have a fond memory of watching a bomber kill a thrasher ... and himself... with a bomb at a gate. I decloaked and looted/salvaged their wrecks in front of their pods.
These stories are making me want to go hunting in a SB though. |

It's a fairly common occurrence. Maybe not a snapshot like this, but it's not uncommon. |

Emphasis mine.
Let me tell you about that one time they tried to bomb us but ended up killing half their own bomber wing with their own bombs.
Was slightly funny.. |

That is neat. It's exactly the kind of thing you generally just can't make happen, yet it just happen. ::thumb up:: |

Got a Slicer recently bombing a fleet.
Lost my Purifier and pod for my troubles.
The rest of our fleet picked off more of them on the other side of the gate, I was just flushing them through :) |

As a rough estimate I see about 1/3 of the pilots dropping their first bomb losing their sgip to said bomb. I lost my bomber once when we were engaging a cane with about 10 bombers and someone shot a bomb instead of activating torps. |

Have to say though, I've never lost my bomber to my own bomb(s), only to a gate camp(got killed, by White Noise gang, 24 hours after the MWD-frig kill), and gate guns(suicide ganked a T1 amarr Industrial as he was on the gate and used my torps). For people to be losing their Bombers to their own bombs, it would be kind of embarrassing, but hey, at least you don't give your enemies a kill, just yourself. I would feel embarrassed if I did-so, but I'm honored a White Noise crew would deem me offensive enough to their(dunno if it really was) territory. As a long bomber pilot, eh... They can be assured I will be returning for more bombing runs in the next few months. :D |

I remember going to defend 9-UY for chribba when they sbu'd his system a few months back in my manticore.
Managed to kill one SBU before NC dot jumped into system and immediately started engaging another group of players on the gate. A few of us thought it'd be a good idea to go back to Empire in our pods so we took turns having bombing runs on the fleet of NC dot burning off the gate. 1st two went to plan, my turn came round and i ligned up, released at 30 from the lead ship and did nothing to evade the fleet fully expecting to be targetted and popped within a couple of seconds by one of the inti's. Didnt happen and got popped by my own bomb along with a cane and rapier lol
Still, was fun |

I managed to kill a Hookbill once with a bomb when it was MWD'ing away from a Cane. I was actually trying to bomb the Cane but got the Hookbill by accident. Both were neutral so I was quite happy anyway.
I have also got on my own KM with a bomb but that's deliberate to keep KB efficiency neutral. If I know I am going to lose a fight (God I hate interceptors...especially Taranis) then I will launch a bomb directly at the ship and make sure I am within the explosion radius. Cancels out the kill quite nicely. |

Do the KB stats mean that much to you or are you actively using them in some way?
I know some merc corps advertise their kill ratio's... is this you? I'm dying to k now if there is something else I'm missing...
My personal KB efficiency is more useful when it's misleading & says I s*ck... I don't get the alpha and can dish out more dps.

With a little practice you can hit your own pod, but it doesn't generate a killmail :( I've only done it on sisi to see if it was possible, if it generated a killmail I'd do it on TQ just for ***** and giggles.
The basic technique is the fit your bomber to go over 3km/s, get up to speed, fire bomb, eject 8 seconds later. |

Any alliance that calls primaries based on KB performance needs to die. I might occasionally look up a toon to see if they have a history of baiting/flying cyno ships, but beyond that having a kb that sucks is just going to make life difficult if you want to join a decent PvP corp.
Same goes for alliance KBs, you'll have more corps/members apply if your killboard is good. Sadly that means using tricks like jumping on corp mates KMs, using neutral triage alts etc :P |

I agree, if we're talking about fleet battles... but I live in wormhole space. When you've had scouts on a small corp in the neighboring hole for 10 hours, you know how they pee and f*ck and have queried every DB in the known universe for thier information. The best PvPer will be alpha'd when the rubber hits the road, in small gang WH warfare.
Most of the time, they are in the primary ship anyhow.

I guess I should call this Topic: "Stealth Bombers Anonymous" instead of "Bombs Versus MWD Faction Frigates"... We can all talk about how we've done bombing runs and how we've screwed up or succeeded in doing our jobs/hobbies and talking about killing, or getting killed, by our bombs and other players. |
