Have landed 220 perk sorties when ENY on p38 was 30...

Still land 100-150 sorties with ENY at 20. :lol

Here's a question; say i do your A8 run and kill 20 guys and get 200 perks. Would a person get the same perks if he did 20 kills (same planes) in 5 sorties or does the perk system give you more perks if you get them all in the same sortie? Don't care about score but perks are nice so i can up and crash a 262 once in a while...LOL

If the perk multiplier isn't counted, if the same planes are killed but in different sorties, you get the same total.

Now, if the multiplier changes between sorties, it can change the total.

was this in a single run, or did you keep landing and rearming? i seem to be having ammo problems by the time i get my 5th kill.....if i survive that long, as i'm usually in a low dirty furball when i'm in a zeke......

It doesn't take too many rounds to shoot a plane on the ground.

Actually, with two 7.7mm machine guns it really does.  Very hard to vulch once down to the 7.7s.

It's not that easy. You DO need a favorable multiplier to get 200 perk points for 20 kills.

Let's see: A8 has ENY 31. So you get 6.2 perks per ENY 5 plane kill . So 20 kills= 124 perks. Landing all those kills: 1.25x124 perks = 155 perks.

To get 200 perks you would need a minimum perk point bonus multiplier of 200/155 = 1.29

But usually you don't get to kill ENY 5 planes only, so it's much harder to get 200 perks. With multiplier 1.0 and an average victim's plane perk value of 8 (still very low), you'd even need more than 41 kills...

guess i must be killing alot of la7s and nikis :) but mostly on knights the multiplier is around 1 or upwards so i might have just been luck the 2 times i landed the 20kill runs.

I've shot down a few F4F-4 Wildcats with them.  Takes awhile, but doable.  I think I was glued less than 100 yards off his tail while I did it though.

Yes it is fun taking down spits with the peashooters. They are frantically trying to shake you off and you are just pinging away! :)
