Didn't Lazs already do this a year or two ago?

A couple years ago I set out to get at least one kill with every unit in the game at the time.  The hardest was the Ar234.  I flew so many Ar234 sorties before finally managing to hit a GV with a bomb.

But there were fewer units back then and I was only trying for one or more kills,  not a five kill sortie in each.

Citabria did this already, and he skipped none of the AC in the hanger (to include the Kate and the C-47).

Yeah, but most of us don't have 300 hours  a month to spend playing AH.  :P

Fantastic if someone else has already done this. Leviathn's well on his way, and Fester's already done it. Kudos for them. This is just something our squad is doing, and if more people want to get out of their standard rides and add some much needed variety to the arena, great. For the other 4900 of us who aren't in the top .001 percentile, maybe it will be fun.

Manuever kills.  Fly NOTE and force the aggressor to make a mistake.  He probably died 20 times befoe he got his 2 kills as well.

How about someone makes the list of planes and posts it.
And a short rules paragraph
When you land 5, take a screenshot of it. Cut out the sentence saying you killed 5, and post those in order.

Just a slight change:

1. Land 5 kills at one time, unlimited rearms, in all planes with a designation other than just "bomber". This includes all attack planes that COULD be scored as bombers (i.e. a20) I'll post a full list when I get home tonight in this thread.

2. Dropping bombs on or straffing GVs does not count as a kill

3. Tallies start at the beginning of next tour on April 1st.


Rules above.

As per the planeset, everything except:  C47, b26, b24, b17, ju88, ki67, boston, and B5N.  

I thought this was easier than posting every plane =)  Notice though, that this includes ju87, a20, d3a and other rides that you normally don't take into a furball.

When I did it I got two kills in the C-47 on my first sortie in the C-47.

Citabria is vastly better than I am.

Saw this thread the night of the 1st. No point in trying... The winner is the guy that's off work on the 1st and maybe the 2nd (if it even takes that long).

This is pretty cool.  I’d like to suggest a parallel challenge for those with less time: Get five kills in every type suggested with unlimited deaths and sorties.  I think that would tap the AH time allotment for most players.  First to finish: post in this thread.
