Why?

Beats me... I guess it must have been the screenshot with the Chinese pilot who had over 100 kills... Oh, and the loser who thought I'd manipulated the screenshot...

Put a 7 ac Rufe unit on the Yamato and it has been shooting down enemy fighters including Corsairs
during the Bonins Campaign! [&o]

My top aces in this pbem game are dead...the Zekes turn into coffins by 44.
2 of them have 25 kills, KIA and MIA..

One of mine managed to get 18 kills in Rufes by in the three months up to March 42 while flying from a BB ( in my Empires Ablaze Mod). The trick to this was that while the BB he flew from was bombarding Shikula Allied transports tried to fly in and got massacred.

In the same game one of my Nate pilots managed to get 6 kills which I found pretty amazing given how poorly Nates usually perform.
