Kills in one day?

Post by Uwe »

First time WitP player here.

Is it normal for a USA pilot to score 6 kills on the first day during the Pearl Harbor attack? His name is Bauer and his experience rating is 94. I am not sure if he got them on Kates, Vals or Zeros. He is attached to the VMF-211.

I am playing variable start with Dec. 7th surprise. Actually I am just playing the british zone but noticed the 6 kills and thought wow that's a lot of kills on 12/7 for a allied pilot.

Bauer, eh? First name Jack, by any chance?[:D][:D]

With a 94 experience pilot in a stock game, it's not unheard of, but hardly an average result.

A 94 experience pilot is going to score some kills.  Six is alot for Pearl Harbor Day, but not unprecedented.  Heck, a 94 experience pilot could be flying that biplane depicted in the movie Pearl Harbor and shoot down a few aircraft flown by unwary Japanese pilots.
