Yeah, you can doubt the accuracy of the grand total, but there can be no doubt he shot down hundreds of enemy aircraft and was an extremely skilled aviator.
"Propaganda" alone doesn't explain why the Germans had dozens of aces with over a hundred kills when the best Western allied one was around 40 I believe. German pilots had more opportunities, especially against basically obsolete French, Polish and some early level Soviet aircraft. |

Achievment: "Eye for an eye" when the same guy that shot you down runs into your parachute killing both of you.

Your all forgetting that German pilots included, in all their kills, every battle period they ever fought in. For instance, British pilots in ww2 had their kills from the Battle of France (if they fought) as a seperate tally. So a pilot could achieve acedom in the BoF and then start afresh for the BoB.
For luftwaffe pilots, they inlcuded every war etc they fought in. Some pilots fought in the Spanish Civil war, so that was included in their tally |

That's why I said they had the most opportunity for kills. All of the German aces who had over 200 and 300 kills were primarily on the Eastern front vs the Soviet Union. The highest scoring ace vs the Western Allies was Marseille with 158, he was part of the Afrika Korps.
Then again, being forced to fly over and over can also stress and exhaust pilots, which would make it harder for them to get kills, not easier. |

I'm pretty sure you can't run into parachutes in BoP..

One more quick thing I forgot was the fact that German pilots had no maximum number of missions or tours of duty. They basically flew until they died. While the Allies did'nt want to lose their best pilots for fear that moral may drop. So I can see how they would have so many flyers with hundreds of victories.
Anyway, sorry to the TC. We kind of hyjacked your topic. |

Well they only said you can't shoot them down, but we'll see. I bet there will be a ton of noobs (or those from the original that are unaware of this) that will try to do so and get themselves killed.
But I don't intend to be shot down anyway. |
