What is the best loss you've ever had? What was the worst "how did I manage to flip that many caps and score that many points and still lose" moment YOU have had? (Another way to phrase the question)

I began thinking about this after THIS was my fifth match of the day:

Pretty impressed by that 1k capture point game

Zigfried and I were flighted.  We did a really good job of turning what looked like a sure loss around.  Getting to the end, Zig was the last player remaining on our team, we were ahead on points.  No enemy aircraft near him, at time 0, he blew up for no reason (and had over half his HP in an RB-17.)

 

Paging HHJ...

Ah, bug robbery. I'd class that a little differently, but in the same overall vein. That would have seen me log out for a while LOL

I think my most epic loss was a 22k PP loss in my P-39N-1.  It was a while ago, so most of the details are lost to me, But I seem to recall getting stuck in a nearly continuous ongoing dogfight over the middle and simply could not disengage to cap anywhere else while the other team slowly took them all away... 

I did have an epic loss last weekend in my MiG-3 where I had to try and suppress the enemy T5 flight (A Spitfire I and a P40, IIRC) to try and keep them from annihilating my team in Attrition Mode. (We had a flight too, but it was a T4 multi and a T4 GAA.  No match for those two.)  The final score was 0:2 in resources.  I had gotten about 16k PP.  The P40 was on 17k and the Spit had 15k.  (I'll let you guess which one I shot down three times, and which one I only got once, lol.)  I am really proud of that one, because I'm fairly confident my constant assaults kept them bottled up in the center zone, freeing our flight to take zones.  (Huh, pretty much the opposite of that P-39 match, now that I think of it...)

Best loss... well, Bomber escort made for some pretty epic ones...

I don't really have a favorite loss.  I'd have to say every loss that went right down to the very last, just short of a draw, was exciting and partly why I fly these planes.

Wow! A 27k loss. That is crazy. Good on ya.
