I'm afraid of extreme heights so I'm afraid I'll skip that.
If a Luftwaffe ace who was shot down five times and crashed four times while test-piloting says "you get used to it," rest assured you can get used to anything
Had the pleasure of hearing him speak once
Oh wow
the guy shot down shitloads of aircraft
In case you're wondering who the most successful Ace pilots have been, they're basically all German
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_War_II_flying_aces
Nothing but a waterfall of Nazi flags in the above listing at the top
Most successful, and top ace of all time is Erich Hartmann, with 352 aerial victories
Rall is 3rd
The reason was because that for the allies and Russians. Once you started doing well in planes. They took you off the front and made you a trainer. For the germans that was not an option.
Something tells me that's not the only factor
it was a large part of it. in the US is you became an ace. As soon as a tour was over they'd make you train pilots for a year.
Also, Russian pilots were really bad on average.
Weren’t the standards for “Ace” lower in the allies than for the Germans?
Like Ace for US being 10, vs. German at 50? Just making those numbers up...
almost always 5
I know there's more, but you had to have a multitude of different planes shot down
Ace in the U.S. was 5.
👍🏻
You were seen as an ace at 5 kills. however you would not get a medal for it in Germany until you shot down at least 15 fighters and 5 bombers.
Keep in mind to that with the exception of maybe the British, Germany had by far the best trained pilots in 1939. in both training hours and combat time.
hey thanks, that's a very interesting bit of history there.

So you're saying it is NOT a good idea to betray your members on a REGULAR BASIS?
Welp, this is how I feel about the matter:
FUUUUUUUUCK THEM

You gotta push those numbers further up and to the right, those are rookie numbers
