2. A-20 (9%)
3. F6F (7%)
4. F4U-D (5%)
5. P-51D (5%)

I'm disappointed to see the lancaster at the top of the GV killing list.

First, it's not a GV killing list, but a FLAK killing list. In a GV killing list the Lancaster would drop back to rank 6, far behind planes like the A-20, which has twice as many vehicle kills.

Second: The high relative number of Wirbelwind and Ostwind kills results from the way the Lancaster encounters them: By attacking bases (most notably vehicle bases) and towns. Flaks are inbound to flatten the vehicle hangars, half a dozen WW's roll out. The WW at the maproom getting killed by a Lancaster carpet bombing the town.

In AH, Lancasters are actually rarely hunting the battlefield for individual targets like tanks.

Thanks for clearing that up Snail.

I was expecting the P-47 and spit 16  to be near the top of the list.  I think both are fantastic for killing vehicles, especially flaks.

Wirbles are easy to kill with a bomb.  I do target tanks when friendly ground is there but it feels unethical when I do it.

But the most rage PMs come from killing wirbs with a K4

"What did you hit me with?" "I thought you were a K4"

My top 20 all-time killers of FLAKs...

Model      Total Kills       Ostwind/Wirbel

Ki-84                533               464/69

P-38G               106               28/78

F6F                   96                30/66     

TBM                  82                15/67

Field Gun          71                 24/47

B5N                  66                 22/42

Ju-87D              58                17/41

110-C               51                14/37

SBD                  46                11/35

190F-8              45                8/37

P-38L                39                9/30

P-38J                34                8/26

P-39D               26                9/17

P-47-D40          25                10/15

Hurri IID           23                6/17

P-47-D25          22                9/13

190A-8             21                10/11

Ki-61                20                2/18

F4U-1D             16                4/12

P-40E               16                 7/9



After that, there are 48 additional planes on the list.  The much whined about Lancaster, comes in near the bottom with only 2 kills and the A-20 has 7.

Total kills are 799 Ostwinds and 901 Wirbelwinds.  None were killed with a ground vehicle.  :lol

The best single performance was in Tour 90, when the Ki-84 killed 85 Ostwinds for only 16 deaths - not too shabby in the days of LTAR.  :uhoh
