why did german aces scored more than the allied aces in the WW2?

Answer 1

The highest scoring aces were on the Russian Front, and the quality of the Russian aircraft and pilots was considerably below that of the Luftwaffe for a very long time. The Russians flew in huge gaggles of aircraft, and a good Luftwaffe pilot would go through them like a shark among the tuna.

The only allied aircraft the was the equal of what the Germans had at the beginning of the war, was the Supermarine Spitfire. The Hurricanes, P-40's, and P-38's were not on the same level of performance.

Luftwaffe pilots flew the entire war, with short leaves. Allied pilots were rotated back to training commands after a certain amount of time.

The tide turned with the arrival of the P-47D and P-51, and once the Spit Mk.9 started flying.

Answer 2

Actually a number of reasons:

1) German fighter pilots were never rotated out of the combat theater - they just continued flying throughout the war. American pilots were rotated out after 25 or 50 missions, which obviously limited their opportunity to rack up kills. I honestly don't know if that applied to British pilots, however.
2) They had longer combat experience - many had flown in the Spanish civil war in 1936.
3) Early in the air war, after the Battle of Britain, long range Allied bombing missions could only count on fighter protection for a portion of their route - after the fighters had to turn back, the bombers were much more vulnerable. This changed later when P-51s, P-38's, and the improved Spitfires came on line.
4) Superior aircraft - both the Messerschmitt Bf109 and the Focke-Wulf FW190 were outstanding aircraft, with a great deal of firepower - against a P-47 or a Hawker Hurricane, there was a definite mismatch.

Answer 3

Because near the end of the war Germans ceased to have an effective air force and there was no one left for the Allies to shoot down. Earlier in the war, the Germans were shooting down a lot of slower bombers that didn't have fighter protection. That ended quickly once the allies air cover extended to Europe. To give the Germans credit, the Messerschmidt was an outstanding plane

Answer 4

That's easy, they had a fly till you die policy, while the Allies rotated their pilots out after so many missions....we won by attrition with greater resources, both on the Eastern and Western fronts.

Answer 5

They racked up their kills against Russian aircraft, something akin to shooting fish in a barrel.

I don't know what's up with that rude wise guy, of course you mean WWII. The disparity was much less in WWI.

Several people have mentioned the allied pilot rotation policy. I'm not certain about this but I have only ever heard about it in reference to American bomber crews. So they may be comparing apples to oranges.

Answer 6

Because they had been fighting longer and they had a number of WW1 aces to teach them

Answer 7

Simple.

It's called ' honor ' - a quality looked down on in the west.

Incidentally.

You mean World War One. Get it right okay?

There were only two pilots of note who exited WWII honorably. Otto Skorzeny and Eric Hartmann.

ask snoopy, maybe he knows

also maybe ask that red baron
