how about you could leave or join a vehicle?
Say for example i'm flying along and I take a radiator hit, I go and put her down near a friendly GV.
He says "hey Bruv! I'm going to the enemy town want to be my gunner?" I say "oh alright then"
Then after killing 5 planes with the pintle gun, I decide I've had enough of this hop out and a squaddie in passing happens to be in a twin seater such as an A20 / Mossie. They touch down and give me a ride, but on the way back to base they foolishly go Head On with a set of B26's who give the squaddie a pilot wound. Naturally the bullets miss my head by an inch, such are the fortunes of war, We swap seats and I stick a bandaid on him so he survives twice as long as he would normally. I Climb back up and finish off those dang B26's and then get back to base safely.
Bruv landed 8 kills from a tempest
Bruv landed 5 kills in a gun position
Bruv landed 3 kills in a Mossie
Awesome!
