What is the highest kill count by a player in a tour?

I think it was 99 by Grizz in a 262. As for Tour, not sure there. Could be more by a tank player in a single sortie too, but im not sure.

Fester & Leviathan (Levi) might have topped that IIRC

Over/under on how many resups to get 99 in a 262?

Supposedly Levi had a 50 kill run in the P40B/C

I remember in the last year I was absolutely fed up with ridiculous ENY issues that was plaguing the game. I was upping bombers and immediately bailing on the runway for a solid 20 minutes. Gave up over 100 kills to Hoagi and airjer each. That shouldn't count but a kill is a kill right?  :x :aok

Legit flying and killing I've seen over 100 (maybe close to 150). In the early days it was a very target rich environment. You could simply patrol the route from rear enemy fields to hotspots and clean up.  Personally I did a few 40 kill runs in the early typhoon (before the roll rate was fixed).

I saw Hooter land 200 kills with a Panther, back when we had the Trinity map. GS had a similar number with a Tiger 2 same location. The spawn near v base 134.

Are these MA kills? Feels like that would be an impossibility today. People (people like merv) up Lancaster formations anytime a gv hits three kills.

Tank town days of old were wild. Also maps like trinity (and there was another one with a spawn fight in the east side of the map) provided days on end of constant gv fights. Also back then the Tiger was essentially unkillable, only other tanks were Panzer and T-34/76.

I do remember those days when the tiger could absorb anything. I forget how few tank variations  there were compared to now.

Kills are not a factor. Defense of FOBs or to allow friendlies to gain a tactical advantage are determining factors whenever I'm bombing gvs :cheers:

In truth I only use Lancasters if I'm really desperate. 24's for the win 👊 💪

That's so impressive I tried to look it up, has I have been around for most of AHii and could not remember such a feat. But I can only find a total of 8 MA kills in a BF 110C for 'Nisky' during AH1 and AH2. Also, this ID has only a few planes with a grand total of over 100 kills.

You may be thinking of another player or ID?  :headscratch:

The skies were filled with packs of baby seals back then..

Would take a ton more hours these days to get those kinds of numbers imo

A8Nisky?

A8Nisky?

I found 20 tours with activity for 'A8Nisky' in AHII, and a total of 0 kills in the BF 110C.


Getting 100 kills in a single sortie in the MA in the BF 110C should have made any player a legend, that's why I'm so curious about this thing and why I never heard of it.

Grizz actually got 100 kills in that epic sortie. There was a film viewer glitch and I didnt want to fudge the video edit by duplicating a kill, so it became 99 before the hurricane ended it

Hey, while you are here. I was wondering if you still had that film with the Aces High song from Iron Maiden with the spit? I was trying to find it the other day but couldn't...

Did you check in the mid war arena?

There was so much crap going on in EW and MW that I stopped tracking them.
And with the much lower player numbers, I would really wonder how one could get 100 kills in one sortie in a 110C in the MW arena.

We was farming thats how.

as a group you all want to do a Me-262 run in the main arena but one of you doesn't have enough perks.

so you would go into the mid war early war arenas, jump on a radio channel above 205, everyone get in a T-34 and spawn to an airfield, once there the perk broke player would up a P-40 or a 110c and straffe each tank a few times to score it right. after about two rounds of that the perk broke person would have enough perks to take the 262 up.

I should have written "100 legit kills".

And yeah, that's exactly why I stopped tracking EW or MW, and people most of the time are just thinking of the LW arena only when speaking of the MA.


By the way, found no trace of any "100 kill sortie in a 110C" for Nisky/A8Nisky in LW or MW MA.

Wow. The most I've ever had is back in the early 2000's, flying sortie with squad mate Oz - we were with the 13 TAS and joined in a large mission (50+ pilots), and I landed 11 kills in my P-51D and he 13. I thought that was amazeballs. I've also seen tankers camp spawn points back in the day who would land a three figure kills - needed multiple resupply runs to rearm themselves. Some had well over a hundred landed vehicle kills.

But 100....?  In a 262 of all aircraft? Thing gives you 15-20 minutes of lower altitude flight before you need to refuel. How long did he need to do that? 2 weeks?

A coordinated vulch-fest with friends might do the trick. Even then you'd probably need to rearm.

Back on the old days you could simply patrol the flight path from an enemy base to where the fight was, with over 500 people online you'd often get people AFK or with poor SA on climbout for easy kills where you only needed a couple of 30mm hits.

Most I ever landed was 53 kills in the C-hog. This was in Aces high 2 when the numbers were higher and WEP Recharged.
