Hmm 14 kills in a P-40B can easily happen that way.

But 85 kills of Jeeps and an additional 15 kills of M16 in that plane does still sound odd to me...

I  agree, it sound's fishy. And not trying to sound over protective of my CO... but bishops have been running alot of jeep raids lately, also not trying to stress the jeep raid fact... But your right it is a little odd... hopefully he'll explain how he manages to kill that many jeeps. He's barely on now a day's though due to overtime on the job.

Hey, what happened.  He responded.  I saw it a second ago and now it's gone but I'll paraphrase:

"I can't help it if some noob keeps upping"

So we are to believe "some noob" upped 236 times in a Jeep and you just happened to be there and didn't run out of ammo?

Back in 2005 we had a couple of crappy plane contests:

Flyboy's P40B June Contest - With Prize!
http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=152138&perpage=50&highlight=contest&pagenumber=1

Highlights:

**************************************

Flyboy's P40B June Contest - With Prize!
Flyboy has proposed a contest for the month of June and I am offering up a prize for the winner:

A like new Belkin Nostromo N52

Belkin Nostromo N52

Rules:

1 - Must have over 100 kills in P40B for the month of June 2005

2 - Winner will be the one with the highest K/D or in a tie the highest K/S.

3 - If you want to be considered you must submit your request to me by July 4th so we can check your score.

Let the games begin!

**************************************

Saturday 6-25-05 standings, pilots with over 20 kills who have indicated participation:

Jamusta is 96/84
VWE001 is 67/23
Flyboy is 35/12
Morpheus is 28/7 (Same)
eskimo is 23/10

It looks like only 2 are on a pace to finish in time. Jamusta is pretty much there, but if VWE001 also finishes, he will likely have a better K/D and win…

Stay tuned…

**************************************

Jamusta won:


“Im surprised I was able to get 100 kills. What is even more surprising is that I killed more spit5's in the thing than I could any other plane. You can make 100 kills in anything if you furball in it only problem is your K\D suffers. I didnt pick the easy fights I just jumped in.”

Tour 66 “Worthless Planes” Contest, With Prize!
http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=154386&perpage=50&highlight=contest&pagenumber=1
Rules:
Winner is player who has best combined K/D in 6 types TIMES total kills in the 6 types.
Types are ONLY Spit-I, Hurri-I, P-40B, A6M-2, 109E-4 & C202.
A minimum of 10 kills must be earned in each type.

Players must post their own math at the end of the Tour/Contest

Example of score reporting:
Player name
Spit-I – 10/10
Hurri-I – 10/10
P-40B – 10/20
A6M-2 – 15/5
109E-4 – 15/5
C202 – 20/10
Total – 80/60

80/60 = 1.33333 K/D
1.33333 K/D times 80 kills = 106.667
Player name score = 106.667

Thanks to hubsonfire, SkyWolf, StarOfAfrica2, 6GunUSMC & Zazen13 for their input and ideas.

More about these 6 planes can be found here: Worst KD Fighters

Prize:

Contest winner gets to select a plane type and theme for a stupid eskimo style skin.
Want a Strawberry Shortcake P-38? How about a Partridge Family B-24? Does a Pope Benedict XVI Flakpanzer/Popemobile sound cool? If you win, it will be up to you. All that I can promise is that I will do a really bad job and try to make it look as stupid as possible.

**************************************

The new tour has started and the Tour 66 stats are now history and locked.

Post your stats & scores!

Mine are the same as above:

A6M-2 = 18/7
P-40B = 13/4
109E = 10/8
Hurri1 = 10/2
C202 = 10/0
Spit1 = 10/5

Total = 71/26
K/D = 2.73
2.73 x 71 =193.9
Score = 193.9

So far, Sirloin has the lead:

A6M-2 = 19/17
P-40B = 14/2
109E = 11/0
Hurri1 = 13/11
C202 = 23/3
Spit1 = 10/6

Total = 90/39
K/D = 2.3
2.308 x 90 = 207.7
Score = 207.7

If you participated, please post your stats & scores even if your score is not higher than Sirloin’s.

I’ll wait 2 or 3 days before declaring the winner, just in case someone else participated but has been quietly lurking in the background.

Thanks for participating,

eskimo


**************************************
Note:
I stopped playing about this time, I still owe Sirloin a “Lazscaster”.
I finally have a new PC and should be back in the game soon.

I landed 5 kills with P40B on one sortie once. Although I was lucky, was limping home with an aileron missing, oil leak and half elevator when a LA7 chases me up with no friendlies around.. I'm sure to die but pull up desperate scissors with my half elev anyway. LA7 came in too fast, probably blacked out and augered in the sea.. and it was a 'name' player from the arena too. I was laughing so much.

Only Takes 2 pings from a .30 cal bullet to knock out a jeep. Doesn't take that much ammo, you do the math bald :p

I watched a rear gunner (single 7.7mm mg I think) in a jap torpedo plane drop a P51D once  Gawd that was classic.  More power to you, "Flying Tiger" (<< not intended to insult)

Hmm, but what did he kill? Was it bombers, or panzers?
