Most Kills in One Sortie?
« on: August 29, 2003, 08:38:05 PM »
Just curious -- who holds the fighter record for most kills in one sortie without rearming or refueling AND landing safely without ditching or bailing out?  

Bombers, attack, gvs, ship guns, aa -- those are other categories somebody else can ask about.  

Flying what?  Killing what types of opponents?  During vulching, intercepts, b&z, dogfights, what?  

Any unusual circumstances that led to the high score?  

For example, I've never landed more than 5 kills, the best sortie being in a P-51 getting a 109, an La-7, a Zero and two B-26s, landing as my fuel ran out and hosing a vulcher (the La-7) who missed -- not bad but nowhere near top guns.  

I'm guessing the record probably is in double figures before the ammo or fuel ran out?  

So who is the Top Gun in what might be the most difficult statistic of all?   Make your claims, complete with the most pertinent details (if the winner flew any of the limited ammo birds, we'll be REALLY impressed).

In ONE sortie -- without refueling or rearming?

Please hold the thread to NO rearming or refueling.  Otherwise the one sortie becomes one mission, and that's a different thing.  Thanks.  

Sheesh, already the totals are amazing.  No wonder I get zapped so much.

My best is 14 in a Spit V without a rearm.  With one rearm, it's 24 kills.  I've never lived long enough to rearm more than once.  :)
