Since the question was qualification for Ace, we would have to start a campaign/tourny, and see who got 5 kills before they died. Otherwise... I always felt that anyone who was in the top 100 of the old stat pages win/loss or kill/killed, was doing pretty good. Remember, before you tell me about lopsided games, that many men who became Aces did it in planes superior to thier opponents, or in superior situations. Now, the top 25 or so in those two old categories are not just the Aces, but the Red Baron contendors. I have always held a soft spot for top ranking in the average points category

It is also a reality check to go at those stats pages, figure out the most feared and respected pilots kill to death ratios, and then remember that the great Aces killed 20, 30, 50, 80, before they retired or died. No one here can have that extra razors edge advantage that those men had, but it will make you think.
