It would certainly be quite a feather in your cap to rack up an impressive score of 20+ victories in the Blue Max game. It was a very significant feather in the real war as well, but may actually have been a bit easier to accomplish.
In the real thing, aircraft had a bit more leeway when it came to maneuver than in the board game, where we have a finite number of combinations to chose from.
In fairness, most of the top scoring aces did not engage enemy fighter planes and instead chose to go after the easier targets like spotter planes, an option which is not offered to the pilots of Blue Max. Perhaps if such aircraft were brought into the game (which we have done in our group) then it might be easier to rack up those kills.

We won't see eye to eye I am quite certain, unless we happen to be looking through our gunsights from opposing scouts.


Also many of the aces of the day jumped the oppenent aircraft. Coming out of the clouds or straight out of the sun was a tactic that gave the defending plane little chance to do anything. This game doesn't even come close to that type of reality. Georing was famous for jumping his enemy. If he couldn't he would simply fly away from combat and not even engage.
