You misunderstand, Rich. "Deaths" occur in many ways, not just against enemy planes. There is field ack, ostwinds, ships guns, intentional augering, and even blowing yourself up with your own bombs as you lancstuka against ground vehicles. To pretend that his deaths are necessarily indicative of his gunnery ability is folly.
No I do understand. I do understand that Im probably 2 kills for every 1 death in actual 1 on 1 fights with fighters. That excludes getting killed by ack, while sitting in the bomb sight, getting caught landing,and all kinds of things that can happen other then actual gunfights with fighters.
I understand completely and am a far better gunner then Kilz. Ask most people who have fought against me.
And "I" cant make 1.3k shots consistently, if at all. In fact I dont even try to shoot from that far away.
So I understand far better then most, and more except for those few who actually spend more time in bombers then I do. And as I said there are only a few of them.
Anyone with those kind of kill/death ratios, so few hours in bombers, and only a few months in the game, shouldn't be bragging about killing from 1.3k away. Hes not even making his 600 yrd shots let alone his 1.3 ones.
