Author Topic: How many planes have you gotten in ONE vulch pass? No rearms, etc lol (Read 1197 times)

You know, the perfect setup- you've de-acked the field, you are tooling around in lazy circles watching the 3 Flakpansies roll from the VH and all of a sudden PRESTO!

How many have YOU gotten? (by the way, THIS is the true measure of an "ace", none of that hokey A2A **** y'all have been bragging about in the other threads).

I think my personal best is 6, but I don't remember exactly. Either 5 or 6 anyway... a 190A8 can give out a helluva good pounding against planes on the ground

327thBS · « **Reply #2 on:** September 10, 2003, 07:05:41 PM »

Yes, the 190A8 is a very emphatic plane

Good for flying through a furball and taking snapshots also

I've gotten only 4 in one pass before...3 were buffs and 1 lonely fighter. Probably was in the 190A8 also.

13 in one vulch pass. Pickled both of my 1,000lb bombs on the runway spawn point and ended up almost taking out an entire mission that had spawned. Only a formation of bombers that had spawned another another runway survived the carnage.

5 in a P47D11

Happiest moment of my AH Career at that point.

I suck NOW, but then I REALLY sucked.

Three at one end, zipped down, got two more other end, one was a re-upper from the OTHER end.

Was also my first ever private message. I think you know what it said.

5

2- P51s followed by 3 B17s (formation).

Got the 2 P51s as they spawned in and killed the lead bomber just as they lifted, both drones augered and got the proxy on them.

In 190-D9.

I did learn something from that, If you see low alt bombers 500ft or less kill lead bomber other 2 will usally auger in before the pilot transfers over.

Ahh, that takes me back to the old DOS Air Warrior, where I had a similar event, except that mine was a lot more shot full of luck... Back in DOS AW when closing an airfield required that you put 12 bombs on the runway, I was making a bombing run on (IIRC) B80 at an altitude of 30,000'; I'd lined up, made my drop, and was watching for the bomb strikes when this massive string of "A kill has been recorded." messages started flooding my message buffer. Getting a dozen vulch kills from 30,000' is an accomplishment I don't think I'm ever going to get again.

I still get a chuckle thinking about the members of that squad... launching for a mission, then *BOOM* they're back in the briefing room, and when they try to take off again, the field's closed. (and two minutes later, we captured the field anyway, so they were totally SOL there) Sometimes life is good.

5 in a Ki61 3 were all on top of each other, f6f ahead of them and a N1K at the other end of the runway.
