How the fuck were German pilots so good?

How the fuck were German pilots so good?
In the top 500 aces, literally 99% were German

soul,ideals, and a healthy nation

because they got most of their kills on the eastern front

fuelled by millennia of being Austrias cum dumpster

Checked. Triumph of the will. Better training and planes (at least in early war)

Racism

I'm sure you believe ghost of Kiev, SCANDEMIC and other lies as easily as well??

Because Soviet (especially bomber) pilots were absolute shit, basically just like shooting fish in a barrel. They just flew in formations, didn't dodge or anything.

No down time to train other pilots.

Their planes were the best in the entire war until late when the US joined in (US planes didn't handle the way german plans did, but were far superior for energy retention and bnz operations, with far higher top speed allowing them to maintain superiority so long as they could get a good length start).
The russian planes (and especailly guns), on the other hand, were complete jokes, but they were numerous. This likely helped a lot. Other notable weak planes were the brits', which had really good energy fighting capability but were basically made of paper and were mostly equipped with peashooters early on in the war.

Because the German airforce didnt rotate competent pilots away from the front to become trainers like everyone else did. Plus there is a fair bit of fuckery with the numbers

They were doing achievement boosting

Meth and superior tactics, turn fighting is fucking retarded when you can just be higher, dive down on some unsuspecting planes and blow them all to shit and fly off before they even know what's happening

Eric was pretty much a western flight. He rarely left Britain's airspace in the 1940s and served defending western europe from bombers from 42 to 43 and went heavily on the offensive in 44 to 45.

Maybe they weren't, and they were also innumerate.

Good training, good aircraft, more experience and they didn't rotate out. Pilots sortied until shot down or the war ended.

German planes used squared off wings to make theme easy to produce. This hurt their aerodynamics though.

One of my ancestors is on that spreadsheet, not telling who tho.
Proud af.

I swear if takedowns on soviet planes didn't count then at least half of them would be gone

Was just reading about Mr Krupinski as well
