.5 Kill

[Slade]

Hello,

In WWII did pilots get a .5 credit for kills, i.e. half the credit for a kill if more than one pilot got hits on a plane?


Thank you,

Depends on who was doing the records, seen where different units in same branch didn’t use the same counting methods. Some giving partial some just rounding up.

Go peel some potatoes while we talk about it.

Yes.

I dont think the germans counted half kills

Right. The Luftwaffe did not allow shared victories. The French give all pilots claiming a kill full victory. British, Finnish, and US forces gave fractional kills.
