vs. AI it is possible to exceed 1000points/mission even in a plane handicapped by limited ammo supply. And with the planes out there that carry an nearly endless ammo supply, e. g. Fw190, F4U-1C and others it is rather easy given enough targets of opportunity are present.
For most planes though you need training to become good in, and you need to know where to shoot - most planes have a few extremly weak spots where even a few well placed bullets can do havoc - for most that is at least the pilot. Most inline engines/oil coolers also do not fare well when hit by a few rifle caliber bullets, and worse vs. 20mm and up, fuel tanks are also vulnerable. Wing roots under stress, e. g. vs. a maneuvering enemy and control surfaces are other targets that can get decisive results with a few hits.
I've once done in 20+ AI enemies in a Fw190, and I'm not even a good shot, I'd bet there are guys out there that can do way way more, and that even against human enemies.
