As far as I know there is no way to keep a tally here with this scoring system.
It depends on how they were scoring the ride. If they only used "fighters" while flying the streak and used "attack" to just have fun and avoid the "losing my mind" syndrome, you could find it in the scoring.

Do you mean in one sortie or overall K/D for a month?

How many kills in row with no deaths, bails, ditches, or captures. Could be 100 sorties, could be 10, doesnt matter

Haha its tough to say. I think Fester holds the montly record from what I have heard. Grizz holds the record for most in 1 sortie. My best was 127 before I lawndarted from 18k black out :furious
It's tough to do now in AH because of lower #s and more spread out fights on big maps. You have to have a lot of time to play to get 200 kills without dying. It's a very timid and boring way of flying. There are times when you want to turn around and go fight, but you know your plane cannot afford to get low n slow in a situation so you have to extend.

The question is why. Why would anyone want to do it?.

Sounds as exciting as watching grass grow...
Hope I don't run into someone trying to set a record like that as it would be a very boring fight if he stuck around and fought at all...
Sadly with the larger maps and spread out bases with limited red planes and limited playing time - many times just flying back to base to land your kills is too much time to take

I used to play for these streaks back in the 2008 to 2010ish range. I think I made it to like 121 before dieing once. This is a different game now, and I'm a different player. The boring factor heavily outweighs the fun factor.
And like mentioned above, it really requires flying like a complete wuss.

You were barely out of diapers back then. You felt you had all the time in the world. Funny how a few years can make a difference. :neener:

if i remember correctly score display would show kills accumulated since last death/ditch etc.
I remember some pony drivers doing streaks 100+, but like eagler says - sounds horribly boring :)
I tried it couple of times, my ADHD wouldn't let me finish ...

For me.... the urge to to see how many times I could fly my 38J inverted through enemy hangars was usually my downfall. I can remember me, Corkyjr, and others doing this on occasion.

The question is why. Why would anyone want to do it?.
once I landed a 15 kill sorty using rockets only. caught a whole p38 squadron on the rearm pad. had to run like hell being chased by all the other cons that were providing air cover.
but my best vulch was around 20 tanks with 2 1k bombs. we had air superiority and enemy was just waiting for vh to come up. I dropped about 3 seconds after. my screen got full with all the kills.
once I tried a kill streak, found it boring. so I landed.

I dropped one bomb on a CV just as a squad of corsairs spawned. I had dropped before they even spawned and got a lot of kills instantly. We all laughed about that.

that's what makes this country great, once i dropped 2 500 with rockets as vtards were upping on a mission, only kill was me.

I learned to kill 262's based on how griz flew, I killed him maybe once or twice because I would climb up in a pony while he flew low on the ground, then I would dive down faster than him and took parts off, 262's dont fly low anymore the way he did. he was good in it but he he took advantage of what he knew. still remember the time he organized a mission then 1/2 way there he bailed out and him and his squad switched country and took off in 262's. they got lots of kills but it was a chitty way to do it. saw him several times landing at a base I was taking off, he would switch countries and come back and kill the bombers he knew that had taking off. that was a crappy way to play the game just for kills. I am not sorry he's not around anymore.

Good grief that bring back memories, back when AH had a colourful and broad player base. You could run with the mission planners one minute and furball the next. I was running with LCA all that night in my HurricaneII while they were running rampant through our missions in those jets.

23 in a P-47N in about 2008 is my highest and was after dropping VH and ord bunkers. Most were bombers that kept streaming in low, felt like a shooting gallery. I never had the patience it takes to do something like that or try, always a ack gun or ord bunker that could be strafed.
