Danger41 Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I hope the tradition of GBU-12's for air to air kills continued! 3

Expand In WWII the RAF did not consider shooting down the V-1s as typical aerial kills. Instead, they had their own separate list of victories, and even had "V1 Aces". 1

That shit ain't easy! On the other hand, I brought down my father-in-law's drone just by spilling beer on him. 2

Being so flammable and a static target, the Jerries (and Allies) put a ring of lead around each one. Brits never did issue parachutes for their balloonists (something about bonus' and being team players...). USAAF also categorized V-1 kills separately. 4
DVT Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Whose informing the Albino and Raptor pilots? Hopefully not the Turkish Viper pilot who splashed the SU-24! All kidding aside, a long way to go for anyone to top 100+ kills to zip.
