Late War Tour 125 Fighter Scores for Buck
                           Score     Rank  
Kills per Death + 1        1.05      1097
Kills per Sortie           0.78      893
Kills per Hour of Flight   5.47      665
Kills Hit Percentage       3.11      2111
Kill Points                2941.38   1452


I know score doesnt count for everything but this suggests you have more to learn.

I had to drop the squad RTHolmes, things were not going so well for me, been having difficulty you might say. my ID in aces high was (GunOrRun) then i went to (CrzyGunZ), i am no longer flying in aces high though.

Please don't mock me RTH, i have done nothing to harm anyone or anything, I've only stated my opinion, so you have gone too far with your get backs.

Apology accepted.

I have a long neck  :uhoh, just kidding.


My time on aces high is truly done for now, my chances of coming back are very very small.

I'm sorry to hear that. Feel free to come back to the game anytime. Plenty of old timers and younger folk here to welcome you back.

Great post !
With that said there is one more thing that I did as a noob. Whenever i waqs shot down , I would pm the shooter and ask what I did wrong or what I can do better.
By being respectful I found new friends and learned more.
if i beat a person in a certain way i <S> them in a PM and ask if they want to know how i got them... vice versa can make friends too...

Honestly it also has to do with the type of bombers you fight against.


Ju's attack facing bit below the ship. The belly gun can't shoot you neither can the tail guns too.


Lancs attack from the belly up. It has no belly gun which is perfect. At 1k away just go down and gain speed then attack up. If you do that really fast you'll avoid them even noticing you and getting on the nose gun.


B 17s and B 24s are basically flying fortresses. They got guns everywhere. My suggestion is to attack facing them or to the side. Like a Hoe. If you attack from the 6 your a very steady shot whereas from the side your a much harder target where they will more likely waste bullets.


Hope this helps. :noid
