Haha, that's such a great moment. I remember that after I died and it did the 'zoom in on the bugger that killed you' thing, slowly turning my head to the side and moving my head towards the screen, like "You've gotta be shittin' me..."

Why isn't it already uploaded?  ::)

Working on it, sheesh.

EDIT: Uploaded to youtube channel arctorn.  There's also a Megaupload link if you want to look at it more carefully (it's a pretty small file, so it won't take long to download).
OMG that is so unbelievable.
plz post the link in the epic screenshot thread
btw is there a flying tutorial somewhere? i just don't seem to be able to keep these buggers airborn let alone fire an anything?

I watched the whole vid, but didn't see any Aeros getting hit by LTs.    What min:sec is it at?

It's when the shiva seeming look like it exploded.  It's very hard to see the shell landing though.

If you download it from the link and view it on your own player, the shell is actually quite visible.  It might take a while to find it initially though.

Yeah this thread is derailed but who cares? That video alone means AA isn't pointless if you use Longtoms  ;D

AA is pointless:  There's noone in aero's anymore worth anything because they're so easy to shoot down.  Take out aero's, take out AA.  They're both worthless

hopefully 3.0 will change that...
