Antoni Glowacki:

During three sorties on 24 August 1940, flying SD-A, Głowacki shot down three Bf 109s and two Junkers Ju 88 bombers over Ramsgate, to become the first "One-day Ace" of the Battle of Britain

Since we don't have battleships, how about sinking a cv with a Stuka? Hans rudel

or destroy 9 aircraft in a stuka.

Why the CV? Why not the mega-cruiser? 

[Karnak]

I doubt the Americans, British or Japanese would have considered that "battleship" to be a battleship.

Sinking the cruiser would be appropriate.

that's sounds good to me.

Not sure if there are any Ju-87 achievment but rudel has some pretty drab good
ones

There already is an achievement for Rudel:

Destroy 519 tanks while flying a plane   Hans-Ulrich Rudel

Does it make sense to give achievement points for getting shot down (Got Silk?) or carrying extra gas (dropping drop tanks)? 

How about an achievement for getting 1,000 kills without any vulches?

Most games include a mix of hard and easy achievements, silly and serious achievements.

Martin Becker was credited with 9 RAF Bombers in a single sortie (apparently his rear gunner got the last 3). I believe he was in a Ju 88, not a 110.

Gunner's name was Karl Johanssen, it seems. Separate award for shooting down 3 buffs with an MG 131 in a single sortie? Becker shot down 7 without aid from Johanssen during the Nuremberg raid.

[Scherf]

I dunno, Han-Joachim Jabs award? Shot down two Spitfires in a single sortie in a 110 G.

[Bino]

Shoot down six Japanese dive bombers in eight minutes. - Alexander Vraciu

[Greebo]

Outside of shade abuse, finding six Japanese dive bombers to shoot down is not very likely to happen in the MA. So how about: "Shoot down six aircraft in eight minutes in an F6F" instead?

[Scherf]

Toni Hackl shot down a P-51, a Lanc and a Mossie in a single sortie, I think he was in a 190.

[caldera]

There isn't an achievement for base defense, so how about this:

I - "Bug Squasher" - kill 10 troops
II - "Meat Grinder" - kill 50 troops
III - "Oh, the Humanity!" - kill 100 troops
IV - "None Shall Pass" - kill 250 troops
V - "Vlad the Impaler" - kill 500 troops

Lafayette Pool

Destroy 258 Vehicles in a US Army Sherman Tank m4 or m4(76)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafayette_G._Pool

Lafayette G. Pool (July 23, 1919 – May 30, 1991) was an American tank-crew and tank-platoon commander in World War II and is widely recognized as the US tank ace of aces, credited with 12 confirmed tank kills and 258 total armoured vehicle and self-propelled gun kills. He has received many medals, including the Distinguished Service Cross, the Legion of Merit, the Silver Star, the Purple Heart, the Fourragère, and the Légion d'honneur.[1]
 
War Service
 
Pool served with the US 3rd Armored Division[2] in France between June and September 1944. He was commander of three Sherman tanks, (an M4A1, and two M4A1(76)W) all of which bore the nickname "IN THE MOOD", and all of which were eventually shot out from under him.

Pool fought in 21 separate engagements during his time in France before eventually being knocked out of the war when he lost his leg following an ambush by a 'German 88'
 
After rehabilitation and being fitted with a prosthesis he returned to the Army in 1948 and went on to serve in the Korean War. He left the Army in 1960 with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 2.
