Not a recommended tactic, but one of the funniest things I've seen is 8 proxy kills in a Ki-43 by upping from a capped base, and letting the P-38 swarm auger as I frantically avoided gunfire.

I love when someone sees a P38J and thinks easy kill.   :banana:

I love when P38s roll of semi capped bases  :banana:

OP:
"....would anybody like to share their favorite rides for upping at a capped base."

Simple:
Up the YB-40 of AH.  3 B-17 Mk40, 25% fuel, dump bombs immediately at launch.
 =
36  .50 cal guns.

Problem solved.

There is a different reason for upping a formation of B17s from a capped field, and it isn't so that you can rack up kills. There's another very real reason to roll it, but I won't get into it because it's rather lame IMO and you end up padding kills of vulchers to do it so both sides lose out.

So up a B-38 instead.  :x
