That brings us to today. I was at 41 (?) after celebrating a goon kill that had landed. Okay just kidding.
1) Actually one of my favorites is exactly that, a kill in a goon. I was climbing my C47 to make it over a ridge line on my way to troop a base, when a P-51 spotted me from above. As he dove in, I considered my options and realized I had enough alt to cut throttle and do a split-S. The Pony followed me down and augered at the bottom! I proudly landed that maneuver kill after trooping the base. (Who said proxies are meaningless!)
There are so many in fighters, so here's two shore-battery ones:
2) I pop into a short-battery to hit a CV nearing our base. With my first shot out, I'm zoomed all the way in to spot the fall of the round. I see suddenly a big blob on the back of the boat -- a mission taking off! Luckily for me, my round lands directly on the rear deck of the CV and 13 kills appear in my buffer all at once.

3) Another time in a SB, I see a flight of Tu-2's coming in low (about 6K) toward the base, so I decide to take a pot shot at them. I guestimate some lead and put a round out. The round explodes the center bomber and the splash damage removes the inner wings on both of the drones. As both drones spiral out of the air, I see the pilot switch between them figuring one of his bombers must be OK -- they weren't. That was fun to watch.
With so many different things to do and try, this game can be really fun.
