It's not a big deal really. I have landed 18 kills in a Hurricane, but needed to hit the rearm pad twice. Likewise, landed 24 in a Dora, again rearming twice. None of the above involved vulching. My biggest surprise was landing 7 with an SBD on a single ammo load. However, 3 of those were TBMs, with their one-burst glass tails. Two others were C-47s, which again, are very soft targets. but hey, they all count.

Another factor is that some days everything comes together. The right targets, flying low, or even a 9 plane gaggle of Bostons (part of the 24 mentioned above). On days like this, you can do no wrong and the enemy repeated hands you easy opportunities on the proverbial silver platter.

Other days, everything is a struggle. Like getting shot down by friendly AI ack twice just trying to get airborne from a carrier. Or, being on short final when your field is captured and the AI ack blasts you on the spot.

My regards,

Widewing

Single sortie I got 9 once, in a 205, nothing to write home about.

Killed acks first time, died last pass. Came back and was capping field alone. Would have had a couple more but a JU-88 came up. Man he soaked up the ammo before he blew.

7 in a Ta 152 perk tag and all this tour.

if a pilot is patient and holds his fire until it's a sure kill he can rack up that many in one sortie.. without refuel.

If I land less than 5 kills a run, I'm pissed off. It's not that I fly at 32k and run away at first sign of trouble, it's not that I turnfight C47s only, or vulch fields.
The P47 has plenty of ammo and when your gunery gets really good, 1 pass is enought. All my manoeuvering is the put the guy at 300y in the corner of my gunsight. Then I shoot a 1 sec burst and follow him with rudder or elev/aileron imput, usually does the trick.
It's all about gunery. If you miss the guy, then u end up turfighting, or loose time and give a chance to someone else to join the fight, and in a P47 you quicky end up in deep doodoo. Practice your gunery, shoot the guy in 1 pass and go on with your life. That's why I like the FWs so much, they have unforgiving guns for the victim, plenty of canons, you can really rack up kills.

RV6, do you live in the L.A. bassin? We should get together one day

PFT, I'd trade 6x50 cal for my 20mm any day. Imagine a 190 with 50 cal, WHAT A MONSTER!

My personal favorite is a five kill sortie in an FM2 and I never fired a shot. All five of the dweebs tried to NOE with me in Mindnao

I love flying between the branches, must be why I like that map.

I think the best one I have seen is when wadke landed 302 in one sortie. I think it was 2 tours ago. later found out it was a system error at htc. gave him the kill not eh perks..

I have the pic but cant post screenshots.

My best ever single sortie with no re-arm was 24 in a Chog. Almost all were vulches, and I think I took out a few ack as well on that one. I single handed cap-vulched a field from two uppers for about 5 minutes. Just as I ran out of ammo and lost control of the situation, the rest of my squad showed up. I landed it and we got the capture.

With re-arms, 41 kills in a Spitfire V. (Which was weird because I hadn't flown a spit in a year or so.)
Probably re-armed 6 times over about 1.5 hours, in the MA.
Most of the kills were osties and panzers. Landed out of boredom.

My brother (0osik) had about 70 kills in a panzer once, and has gone over 100 in a shore gun.

I got 200 kills in one sortie??

+) ermm ahh in a few months I will have got 1000 in one sortie! +)

I actually got 120, the 121st seemed to crash the AH server..
all without a reload.. well errm yeah it was a 5" gun on a ship.

I think my personal best in a plane would be around 12 in a hurriC. And I know I reloaded. Thats not vulches, I likely have had more than that in a vulch mission but i don't really watch the #'s.

"Heinkel landed 6 kills in a val last week" very impressive.

~~Val pilots in the MA.~~
