Luftwaffe Point System
Where can I find a description of the Luftwaffe scoring (point) system for shoot-downs that was in place in January, 1944?
Does anyone know what it was? Bronc |
Re: Luftwaffe Point System
Hi Bronc,
most important thing was to have an witness for the kill. No witness - no claim. take look at this : http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussi...article=31775; Regards, Rainer |

Luftwaffe Point System
Thank you Rainer.
The point system in effect only on the Western Front: Aircraft Type - Abschuss Destroyed - Herrausschuss Separation - Entgültige Final Destruction - Vernichtung ------------------------------- Single-engined: 1 0 0 Twin-engined bomber: 2 1 1/2 Four-engined bomber: 3 2 1 Award Points Iron Cross 2nd Cl. = 1 Iron Cross 1st Cl. = 3 Honor Cup = 10 German Cross in Gold = 20 Knight's Cross = 40 Yep, I was confused. The number kills required for awards and decorations kept going up on the Eastern Front, but remained constant in the West. Thanks again! Bronc |
Re: Luftwaffe Point System
If you look at all of the pilots who won the diamonds and when they won that particular award, you quickly come to realise that being the top-scoring German pilot at the time appears to have been a criterion.
