Default Re: Question about aircraft range finders

I am amazed how you got zero kills out of 200 passes. I haven't tested this, way too boring for me, but in normal situations, when my planes manage to survive, they always get at least a couple of kills each, depending on the target and system used etc. I have very bad results as USA but that is mostly because when I do I play against playe4rs who have some uber Russian systems and I am not allowed to use B2s. (B-1s I have yet to kill anything with lol). But, with F-22s, F-16s, F-15s, I tend to get kills when they survive.
When not playing as USA (most of the time), as long as there is no serious issue with air defense, I get some serious kills all the time. I have won PBEM campaigns thanks to planes, ie opponents asking to surrender. One thing I do not do though is use bombs that much. I tend to get missiles carrying planes.

Oh, and in a current PBEM campaign as GB vs PRC (late 50s), I have many Hunters and with their rockets they must have killed....plenty of enemy vehicles.

As I said, none of my experience is from experiments/tests, just regular PBEM campaigns.
