Any "Eric Hartmann" in AH ?
« on: October 22, 2005, 06:15:53 PM »
Did someone ever try to make 352 kills in 109s only without getting killed?

What about  a "Eric Hartmann" competition?!!   let's say 352 kills/tour in me109s without death, but can die in any other planes,
(3-4 ditch/bail alowed, in me109s)

Maybe HTC would sponsor the competition with 2000-3000 (gvs) perks :lol

And if you try to be Hartmann, remember you can get shot down and bail several times, just not die.

Marseilles died in a G-2, did he get any kills in one?

This is a gooooooood idea!


hey how about "Kozhedub competetion"? The same rule for Hartmann apply to Kozhedub BUT you have to fly LA-5 or LA-7.  This should be easy, go for 62 kills :)

I don't think he did. It was his first flight in the G2 and they didn't see any enemy aircraft that day. The mission was in the morning and he died just before noon.

Good idea.

I don't want to get VIODED though. That just sounds painful.

for the Hartmann competition you get a few years to collect the kills
for the allies you get a certain number of sorties

Does Soviets have "rotational system" similar to USAAF/USN and RAF?  It is said that average Soviet pilots (after the 1941 fiasco) have the highest experience for the allied side and only second to Germans.

I thought most of the "leading aces" died off long before the Ki84 came out?? They were more of the zero-flying kind, I think.

The Army had some of the best pilots too, but not well publisized:cry And they got most of their kills in China, flying bi-plane A5Ms and Ki-43s.

I remember Fishu having a Tour in the Fw-190 A8 with 300+ kills without a single death! He was (is) my hero back then. I've earned my wings studying his and Hristos art in the 190.

... ah the good old days!
