Shane - how long ago did I fly P51/La7/Spit ix? Bet it wasn't in the last year. The last two years maybe? :aok

This is what it a "deep knowlege of the game" has to do with it.  Interpretation.  Why are you looking for and finding umbrellas? Its raining!  Why are you looking among 3% of the population for the three most popular planes and finding them?  They are the 3 most popular feeking planes Hello?


Nobody gets in the building without an umbrella. I said what I said, prove me wrong.

Dude the umbrella has nothing to do with the building.

Read what I said.  The security camera video backs me up.

Umm, dude its raining you will find the same thing across town in the projects.

Now get this through your thick skull.  I dont care if I am soaking wet.  I dont care how often it rains.  Read what I said.  "I do not use umbrellas.  I searched up and down the street for someone who would get into this building without and umbrella, and I could not find one." Its a very simple statment, it is based in documented fact.  What dont you understand about this?

But dude, what does the umbrella have to do with the building?

I SAID WHAT I SAID.  READ WHAT I SAID.

Umm, dude. Im gonna go inside now, its kind of nasty out here

See ya later umbrella dweeb!

Murdr - I don't know what you're talking about. All this umbrella nonsense. Try to stay on topic. And yes, you ARE an LA7 dweeb. :D

I'm retiring for the evening.

Toodle-Pip.   :D

Murdr has lost me.  Something about wet dreams and a building, with an umbrella. Did it come true or something.

Wow that's a shocker.  Almost as shocking as when you combed the stats of 3% of players for the three most used planes in AH, and found them.

 I can see both sides of the argument.  Does the plane you fly have an effect on your stats?  Certainly.  Only a moron would deny that.  Is it the *critical* factor in your stats?  Well, thats up in the air.  Some would say yes, some would say no.  I lean more towards the yes position myself.

So yea, Beetle has a point that if you fly the more ... easy... good, whatever planes, you'll have somewhat inflated statistics to show for it.

sigh.. why can't the english understand english?

first let me refresh your memory with these little gems found on page 5.

"The point is that no-one gets into the top 100 fighter ranks, without resorting to the EasyMode™ plane subset, ie P51/LA7/Spit ix."

"Just checked all top 10 fighter pilots' scores at the end of tour 47, looking for one who never ever flew the Big Three. There isn't a single one. But not only that, about half of those surveyed got most of their kills in a Big Three plane."

ar·gu·ment   n

(2)

a.  A course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating truth or falsehood: presented a careful argument for extraterrestrial life.

b.  A fact or statement put forth as proof or evidence; a reason: The current low mortgage rates are an argument for buying a house now.

c.  A set of statements in which one follows logically as a conclusion from the others.


shall i point out exactly how your argument walked, talked and smelled like an argument? or shall i be generous and give you some credit for being able to see this on your own?

see... that's the thing.. there's nothing worse than a commoner who affects an upturned nose and haughty demeanor.
