I agree. I do watch my gunnery score very closely. I also watch my k/d ratio but not as closely. If my k/d is dropping it's usually because my SA isn't very good or I am having repeated stupidity spasms. :D

In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.

you can probly guess that a guy flying a d9 or p51 with a 10/1 k/d and 3 k/h is flying very caustiously and mostly taking the risk free kills... maybe someone who has good skills or not... for sure he doesn't get much air to air combat experiance..


I disagree on the "for sure he doesn't get much air to air combat experiance" part ;).  Extricating oneself out of dicey situations doesn't equate to kills but just as valuable in learning air to air combat.  This doesn't show up in stats or scores.

For some, extrication means killing all of the badguys or making them extricate themselves out of a dicey situation.  :)

True true :D, though the number folks who can do this is pretty darn low!

And that he probably didn't fly on BI, AKD or Trinity when he posted those stats.  ;)

The P-40, a lovely airplane, is just too slow for that in all likelihood. With the bases so far apart and all.  ;)

I agree that score means nothing and lev is right, stats indicate style... I mean, if you cherry pick you can have a 60/1 k/d if you are very cautious in late war planes or, if you allways attack planes that are in superior numbers you might only get a couple before you die  but....

your k/d stats would indicate that every time you ran into anybody you have a better than 50/50 chance of him/them/the ground, kicking your butt before you can even get off a shot.   If you are playing the widely diverse and highly complex strat "chessmaster of the sky" game that you claim and simply on a "missun" when you fly, not caring about death but working for a higher power and goal.... then your missun must be.....

try to ram the first plane you see and hope for the best.

  There ya go again Humpy talking about something you have absolutely no knowledge on. It`s called Aces High. You should try it sometime.
  The book of stats you keep so high on your list of things to whine about is a joke or in your case a "dweeb meter"
 With your preset hugging the ground prearranged ..... well whatever somebody would use for a label for something so lame.....makes ya look real weak bud. The higher your ever so worshipped K/D gets, the more it shows just what a limp wrist you are.
  You certainly can`t speak on the game because you don`t participate in the game, not even close.
  What I wonder s how many peeps that read your "furballer community" spokesperson posts know that what you do in the MA can`t even get in the same world as a true furballer. Simply put you only play it safe, swapping kills back and forth with your SMALL band of butt sniffers. The true furballers in the game contribute a great deal to the game and are an important factor of the total community. You sir, on the other hand are a farce, bogus,fake. When you start actualy participating in the game then and only then will you be able to speak with any knowledgable input. I don`t think this will happen because I believe you know you just flat couldn`t hack it so you just play it safe and continue with the ole smoke and mirrors on the BBS.  BTW, most that reads these posts can see through the veil right away so I think you just do it now to reassure yourself that there is a chance you might possibly not be as lame as you yourself know you are. Save the wear on your typing fingers Humpy. It aint working, is it?:eek: :rofl :D :)

you cant tell a thing from someone's score, its just gamey stats that can be over exaggerated.  If you find yourself constantly checking your score, and others - the game really won't be fun.

Personally, i think it would be better if they removed the score facility from inside the game all together, would remove a lot of the dweebery and tension.
