Look, I want to count the kills on the carriers at Midway, do you freakin' mind?!
Crack on, mate. Whatever floats (or sinks) your boat!
... says the guy who loves the Buffaload ...
And the Skua. And the SB-2. And the Gladiator. And the A-17. And the P-36. And the Vengeance. And the Blenheim. And...well, you get the point.
What's your excuse?
Amiot 143
WTF is your coat? And do you really need it in July?
Apparently, that's the modern form of sackcloth and ashes.
Ok, cut the number to 16 instead if 40, confirmed kill by enemy records, not claims.If you're counting strafing victories for the Skua, ain't it fair to count bombing victories for an SBD? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that's a decent number.
Asking for a friend.

Times 30 to account for the different production and.........................SPD needs 480 air to air kills, not claims.
And the Skua saw action off Dunkirk, may have gotten 1 kill?
And the Skua saw action in the Med and got several kills. as many as (9) but these are claims and not confirmed by Italian records.
All Italian claims are against Floatplanes/ spotters and a few SM bombers.
4 or more of the claims are against these.

Some of the 190 built were completed as target tugs at the factory.
The Skua seems to have been a lot better than many people give it credit for.

It was, to repeat, just a joke.
