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!

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..

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		When a top pilot is killed is he kept on the top pilots list with his status being changed to KIA? I know when a pilot is wounded his status goes to WIA but i wasnt sure if top pilots die if they are lost forever or if they stay on the list so long as they have enough kills to remain.

Status: offline 		AVG are my "shock troops" in China and Burma.  I try to ambush the training missions.  So in fairness, they're mostly killing crappy pilots anyway.  I'm not willing to throw them against the Tonys yet, where there would likely be some nasty pairity.  I probably need to tho, as the Tonys are doing to my 4e bombers, what I've done to some of his training squadrons.

The RAF/RAAF pilots don't suck, but their range is limited, and thus limits their kills.
