so get 5 kills in first plane on list...

then move to next plane?

I used to do that quite a bit. it was always very fun. and it helps to really get a feel for what all the aircraft in ah can really do.

Yeah fighters only was what I was figureing.
But if your crazy enough to try an get kills in a 234 GO FOR IT!

I suppose if you drop bombs on spawn point long enough eventually you'll get a few kills.    :)

BTW I'm up to the 190's, best hussle!    :)

yer welcome!   :)

btw, you only have 12 kills according to the score sheet.  FWs already, huh?   ;)

also, I'm not participating because I don't want to fly Zeros all tour.  There's no way I can kill 5 in a row before getting shot down.   :o

Is the goal to fly an aicraft type until a sum total of five kills has been racked up withouth incuring death (kind of easy...get a kill, land...) or is it that you can only move to a new aircraft after becoming an Ace (5 kills)in one single flight?

"its up to you" as ghosth said.

My rules that i'm playing the challenge by are:

start at the end of the list and go forwards flying every fighter.

fly individual fighter until 5 kills are made in that fighter then move to the next fighter.

deaths are not important, just 5 kills each fighter.

Basically the challenge rules I am using are designed only to experience every different aircraft for about 1-2 sorties before moving to the nex aircraft.

its quite fun and challenging.

"its quite fun and challenging."

 It sounds like it would be which is why I'm interested in dopign this myself. I just wanted to see if I had it 'right' so that I played by the same basic rules and understanding that most are.

Like Cit says, you can fly it any way you like. Top to bottom or vice versa, count deaths, sorties, or not, its all up to you.

The challenge is to climb OUT of your ussual bird & into something different. Get 5 kills in it & move on to another. Want to make it tougher? Then try for 5 kills without dieing.

Get stuck in a plane? Skip it & come back to it later.
