Maybe this is nothing to plane vets, but in my six months or so of actual plane usage, this is my best outing. This was from my level 3 P51 Mustang. I think it was 4 or 5 tanks and the rest were enemy bombers. This isn’t the best kill total for being in a plane, but best at killing planes and armor.
although not all of them are pure plane kills, here are some of mine… you just cant beat p47 when it comes to score.
In roughly 5 or 6 months worth of flying, I have a grand total of 4,818 kills between the Germans, Russians and Allies. The German’s I use the level 2 Stuka in BR1-3 and the Ju-188 at level 5. Russians the Su-2 in BR 1-3. Allies I usually just stick to the level 3 P51 Mustang and use it both in BR 3-5 and BR 5. I do have the P47, but have only used it a couple times and I need practice with rockets since I am more used to bombs. I don’t have a lot of experience going after planes since 80% of my flying is in bombers or dive bombers.
Total, of my 4,818 kills, 3,203 is with Germans, 1,043 with USSR and 572 Allies. Allies is all fighter plane kills, and actually, was the plane used to get my 12 plane or tank kills.
It just warms my heart to see a growing fellow pilot.
Keep flying my friend!
Fighting plane is actually kinda fun tbh even tho I suck at it, I sometimes manage to get the enemy to fly in front of me and shot him down. Feel kinda satisfying tbh (or maybe it just me liking to destroy plane since if I let them fly, they gonna cause havoc)
The very first plane I ever shot down in Enlisted was with my level 1-3 German APC which has a howitzer. Tunisia, a dive bomber had just dropped bombs coming in from behind me and as he swooped towards the ground flew directly in front of my howitzer and was just starting to climb, so I clicked the mouse and Ka Boom.
I shot down a fighter plane with my Stuka once as it was climbing as I was descending on my bombing run, so I opened up with machine guns, smoked him and dropped the bombs. I also brought down another fighter by hitting it head on, but I can’t remember if I got credit for my death or the kill, or both. I shot down two enemy bombers with my Stuka, but its not ideal since it really isn’t fast enough to catch up if your any distance, so I only go after them in my Mustang.
Depends! If you want, you can! I chase down p38 (really fast planes) with my UHU ohohoh
NPC bombers? BOOOOOO! (personally I avoid counting them in my vehicle kills, as it’s really easy to get like 30 when the enemy is hell bent on force feeding you)
Still, more people flying, more fun!
Stuka, especially the cannon one can be pretty dangerous - on paper it’s turn takes FOREVER, but it’s because it’s so painfully slow - your physical turning radius is actually kinda small. It’s funny going to BR2 and just sitting on the inside of idiot P38’s trying to do a horizontal turn against you, as you just hold down mouse 1 and hammer away with those 1000x 151 rounds
With the Stuka, I can actually at times get myself out of being shot down. When I hear my rear gunner open up I know I am being followed, so I either try and play the turning game with him, or I power down, drop my flaps and deploy my air brakes and sometimes he flies right on by which gives me a few seconds to take some shots. I did get some hits on a fighter and caused it to smoke, but he pulled away to fast to put him away. The Ju188 has no chance of out turning, and the dropping of the flaps and air brakes just makes the kill happen that much faster, so I made sure all five of my crew have two good SMG’s, AP mines and grenades and they make a good assaulter squad.

Did the germans do the german thing and bring only seal clubbing equipment like KTs and 188s and never unlocked the rumored mythical AA technology?
well only first one was uncontested air supremacy. everything else was mix of p47 alongside infantry when they killed me(and they killed my p47 ~5-6 times in that game)
