General time frame on kill verifications?

[badlands122]

Can someone direct me on the length of time the upper echelon takes to verifies a kill???

As far as I understood, it depends on the ways of burocracy - in other words, it's random.

But it will not be during the next three or four missions. As you may fly three sorties a day,

it feels endlessly long for a week to pass - and confirmations within a week would be fast.

When there's enough paperwork to require a currier carrying your paperwork to home office, your chances are better if that lot of paperwork contains a request for tiolet paper without large pointy wood chips. That's assuming your report isn't lost, when the currier gets himself hit by an artillary shell ( the War you know )

 

Then the Home Office Pencil Pushers Rule, during the winter months everything SSsslloowws down

 

You might hear nothing for a month, then be confirmed for 4 at once

 

If the war ran slow and sleepy, in that area then, chances are a couple of weeks for a claim

 

Whereas if it's hot and heavy, all the curriers might be in the trenches ( the War you Know )

 

Bottom Line . . . Don't Hold your Breath

 

That's a damn fine explanation young fellow!! The War!! damn fine mess ain't it!!!

I'm waiting on a kill confirmation for one of my German pilots. Because I'm such a s**te pilot/shot, when I'm in a Halberstadt scout I can blaze away for hours without harming any allied kites. I was on a flight recently, and trying to avoid the deadly defensive fire from a group of Fe2b's having spent most of my ammo ineffectually trying to do more than just scare them a bit, when our Archie cracked the lower wing off one of them, and he started a long slow descent into captivity. I wasn't having that. I bobbed in and added about 10-15 bullets to his woes, then scarpered. Get back to base and there's that claim form. It's mine I tell you! MINE ALL MINE!!!!

 

I'll have that sodding Blue Max yet....mutter, mutter...

Hey, Mighty

You can attack FE2b very effectively from underneath.

First you fly right underneath the last plane, then pull up, and fire, when the front/engine is in

your gunsight. If necessary, take throttle back enough ,that you don't run into the Fee.

Very important - push nose down, before you get on level behind her, to avoid the rear gunner.

Then repeat that manoeuver - you should perform kind of a wave form.

 

But even far better: enlist a new pilot in Jasta 2, September 1916, as soon as they get the

Albatros DII - that will be real fun!

That's not fair, UncleAl - the Halberstadt is a good climber and reasonably good at turning

with the early Nupes (although they can do better). Give it a try - just for a free flight;

it may be fun.
