It's not that easy. You DO need a favorable multiplier to get 200 perk points for 20 kills.

Let's see: A8 has ENY 31. So you get 6.2 perks per ENY 5 plane kill . So 20 kills= 124 perks. Landing all those kills: 1.25x124 perks = 155 perks.

To get 200 perks you would need a minimum perk point bonus multiplier of 200/155 = 1.29

But usually you don't get to kill ENY 5 planes only, so it's much harder to get 200 perks. With multiplier 1.0 and an average victim's plane perk value of 8 (still very low), you'd even need more than 41 kills...

guess i must be killing alot of la7s and nikis :) but mostly on knights the multiplier is around 1 or upwards so i might have just been luck the 2 times i landed the 20kill runs.

I've shot down a few F4F-4 Wildcats with them.  Takes awhile, but doable.  I think I was glued less than 100 yards off his tail while I did it though.

Yes it is fun taking down spits with the peashooters. They are frantically trying to shake you off and you are just pinging away! :)
