Kill Totals

[Lightning Guy]

Ok, my last request was a major flop so maybe you guys can help me with this one. I was wondering about 'kill' totals for different fighter planes in WWII (and it should make for some interesting discussions about fighter effectiveness). I would really like to see numbers on the American fighters but numbers on any major fighter would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'll have a look around

 

[a finn]

Brewster B-239 (Finnish Air Force) 472 kills by 44 planes and 83 pilots

Can't help myself - those numbers are so impressive

 

[cheddar cheese]

youre right - they are.

 

[Stuka-99]

Yes Finland did very good against those soviet pigs

I haven't found kill ratio's for all planes, but here's the one on my favorite, the Corsair.

2140 kills
189 losses
Kill ratio - 11:1


I also found this one

The Grumman F6F Hellcat
5156 kills
Kill ratio - 19:1

the B-239's kill ratio was better

 

[a finn]

Finnish Bf 109Gs had quite a good kill ratio too :

Bf 109Gs shot down total of 663 enemy aircraft while losing 32 fighters in combat or to anti-aircraft fire.

That makes a kill ratio of 21:1

[Stuka-99]

Yeah uh, that reminds me, got any kill totals on Avia b.135s?

 

[Stuka-99]

nice one a finn
some finnish dude sent a postcard to conan o'brian saying "perkele, from finland" when they had not even got a reason to get hated by conan
lol

 

[a finn]

Yes, and last night (or at least the show was broadcasted in Finland last night) Conan apologized all finns (because he got A LOT of postcards from Finland) and that was part of the apology.

Now all Swedish people can send hatemail to Conan. 8)

But... back to business. Which is FAF and their victory ratios of course

Fokker D.XXI - 191 victories, 16 losses - 12:1
Fiat G.50 - 101 victories, 5 losses - 20:1
Morane-Saulnier M.S. 406 - 135 victories, 18 losses - 7.5:1
Curtiss Hawk 75 A - 190 victories, 15 losses - 12:1

And that seems to cover the most important finnish fighters.
