Title: Kill Streaks
Post by: Gremlin on July 20, 2001, 07:01:00 PM
Just wondering what's your best air to air 1 sortie kill streak?

41 kills in one sortie hot reloading in the p-38L last tour. died after 41 turnfighting a spitfire.

40 kills in a single sortie many tours ago in P-38L again landed and exited.

Best was 11 Kills in one flight.

I did it 3 times air to air only, no vulch.

Twice in one day two weeks ago flying the FW190A5, plus 5 other 7 kill sorties that same day. Amazing day for me, the best flying I ever did and I probably had 80-100 kills that day alone all in the FW190A5.

Once in Niki while I was being vulched with the ack down, that was interesting.....

My most kills in one sorte (no re-arm) is 14, the last of which I got as I landed and a tank I had bombed died when we took the field   ;)


Oh but you asked for the BEST...that has to be the 8 kill sorte last month.  I shot down a certain bishop26 and then vulched him 7 times before running out of ammo.

Spitfire V:  6 (all air to air)
P-51: 6  (all air to air)
Fw190: 8 (5 air to air, 3 vulch)

My personal favorite: Me109F4 (No gondolas): 5 (3 Nik2s, P-51, and Spit MKIX)

Not as high as the others, but pretty damn good for me!!   :)

my two best are....
7 in a p-51 without hot rearm or vulching
9 in a p-51 with 1 hot rearm(during a typical a1/a4/a5 furball on the ndisle terrain) again no vulching...as a matter of fact we where being vulched  :p

Back before we had rearm pads I got 17 in a 190a8 vulching a field.  ;)

If you meant sorties with actual skill involved, I think I've gotten 11 a couple times without rearming.

It isn't something that I keep a note on, but I do remember these:-

Pnzr - 37 (still alive)

B26 - 15 (was finally killed - I bombed the VH and got a load of kills plus swarms of a/c after me!)

Typhoon - 12 (including 5 vulches, perhaps my most satisfying because I'm not really an A2A pilot but everything that I aimed at just went down.)

24 in YakU, with many refuels, landed.

20+ in Spit IX many tours ago (do not remember how much exactly). Rammed someone finally (my most usual death while in spit IX).

Both with no vulching.

11 in 109G10.. thats what I remember for sure.
and around 17 in Fw190A8..
In both, half were aerial kills and half were air to ground kills.
in 109G10 probably best air to air combat kills were 9 kills (1x20mm, 2x13mm)
(sometimes I've been very accurate in 109..  like 10 20mm shots per kill  :))
In FW190a8 its in the same class for pure aerial kills.
In b17 I've killed over 11 in one sortie.. I were strafing a field during my grand streak without deaths and the guy quit coming up as I had just ran out of ammo from most improtant guns - so I got home.
I remember his name too, still.

those were before any land & rearm stuffs in the game..

in FW190A8, streak from all flights without death, is 278.

14 in a p51, with a couple of hot reloads, all air to air, no vulches.  I tend to fly and fite the airplane without too much consideration for odds or enemy a/c type.  Not too conducive for generating long kill streaks  :) I'd rather have one great fite and get flamed as opposed to generating a long bounce streak....not taking anything away from the guys who like to fly conservatively.

WTG Guys.  I am seriously impressed.  :eek:

My biggest problem is that I usually run out of ammo, before I can rack anything too major up.  Gonna have to get better at nailing em without having to use so much ammo.

I remember many years ago when I used to fly 'Flying Circus'.  God, I loaded that up the other day just for memories sake.  Never realised if was so terrible.

Anyways, i digress.  In FC when you landed a streak you kept it even if you logged off, you could take up where you left off last time.  Not, saying we should have that in AH.

When you got up to 5 kills you got awarded a medal (Ace), 10 Kills(Order of Merit) 20 Kills (Blue Max).  Awards would be a nice idea.

Anyway congrats on your kill streaks, seems some of us got a lot of catchin up to do, but hey, it dont matter as long as yer havin fun.

<S> all

Grem.

this is a much more sensible scoring system.

there is no reason the score counter text should reset upon landing it should reset only upon capture or death in my opinion.
