A slightly long, but totally true story from ArmA II back when it was still new.
I was piloting an LGB-equpped jet in a multiplayer server having convinced the admins to rank me up to be able to fly them (I told them I was a really good pilot, heh). Another guy was piloting the second LGB jet a few hundred meters behind me, almost in formation. The entire game, minus me, was in Teamspeak, but we still co-ordinated well. A group of players were pinned trying to enter one of the settlements of Chernarus, unable to break from the treeline for fear of being gunned down in the open. The only options were to retreat for evac, or call in the jets. They chose the jets.
The other pilot was closer to the settlement than I was, but we communicated that a twin bombing run would be far more effective than two runs along the same stretch, so he slowed his speed to allow me to catch up. We then flew side-by-side over the crest of the valley, keeping relatively low to the treeline. At the point of payload delivery, we pulled up and rained fire on the town.
It was glorious. Thirty-three confirmed kills between the two of us, and we had cleared the path for the rest of the team. I wasn't in the voice chat but the admin simply wrote "Nice show, flyboys. RTB for refuel and rearm."
Brilliant.
