Rate my progress

[FX1]

I have been flying for 9 months and feel that I need some input on my stats. These stats are from start to today, and I have built a new CPU changed up sticks monitors and so on. I think I like my set up as it is and don’t plan on changing one thing. I fly the typie the most but sometimes love to turn fight. If I have killed you our we have been involved in a fight I would like some input about my acm our just some basic info on my progress so far. Are my stats common for new players? Do I have a good rep with other players? I would just like to know goods and bad of my game play. I don’t like to talk trash and try to give a gk when I feel someone was a good match for me. So please inform me on my progress…. Some back ground AW for 3 years Current squad is WOT.

stop looking at score/stats and have fun

doesn't the need/drive to improve on your stats detract from your overall total joy you receive from the game?

I would just like some input thats all. I dont look at stats that much and yes i have fun. I am just trying to help out my game play. Also unlike some other players i do care of what other pleople think of me. Is this not a fare question?

[TexMurphy]

What do the stats tell me?

Either you learned to Vulch in a fast plane and when to bug out if it gets hot. Or you learned to dogfight really well. Huge difference in how good you are, same stats.

Though I would guess the first looking at what planes you have flown through the tours.

Tour 65 - 109-G10
Tour 64 - Typhoon and Tempest
Tour 63 - Typhoon and Nikki
Tour 62 - Typhoon, Nikki, Tempest, C-Hog
Tour 61 - Nikki, Typhoon
Tour 60 - Nikki, Typhoon
Tour 59 - Typhoon, Spit9
Tour 58 - Spit9, La7
Tour 57 - Spit9, SpitV, Seafire, 190F-8

Your gameplay picked off when you ditched the slow planes and went for the faster ones with huge cannons. So to be honest I would say that you vulch alot and flee alot.

You asked, I answered.

Ok, from what little I can tell (all of the numbers are run together) , I would say you have become very proficient at field supression (vulching) and/or flying with a horde. I make this assertion based on the high K/D and high K/T. Generally, that is the best way to get high scores in both.

No, this isn't a judgement...just telling you what I see from the numbers. As you can see, the ways that scores can be read are not always flattering. So, play...and have fun...because THAT is the point of it.

[Furball]

Just had a quick check, your k/d can be accounted to your choice of aircraft type, your k/d is better when you stay out of turnfighters.

It is quite clear you have made progess, statistically wise, since you started, wtg.

As others have stated, if you constantly refer to stats to judge the progress you are making, you will have far less fun than if you do not worry about stats.  

OTOH If you do not worry about stats, you will not need them to tell yourself (and others) how good you are.

It is when you can regularly win at a disadvantage, either by numbers or by energy situation and/or win in an inferior plane that is a better judge of your ability.  Anyone can swoop in and pick someone unawares.

Lets face it, the only person that will probably ever see your stats is you.

You do very good FX.  I thought you took to AH very well and very fast.  To be honest, I try to match up K/D with K/H to make a determination whether someone is timid or not, and frankly I can't amass a 13+ k/h even when I fly straight into the dogfight everytime.  Think the best I got was a tour or so ago and that was 12+.  Although, I have since stopped looking and had a little more fun, but different strokes for different folks I guess.  The G10 is a fun ride, and I don't blame ya for using it at all.  Try the F model sometime for some real fun

Thanks guys this is just what i need. I have been in a slump and this will help me out. I did this so i could have a better understanding to help me to become a better pilot.

Slumps...gotta love 'em. My favorite slump buster is to take a zero up from a capped field until the baddies are dead...or outta ammo. The laffs I have while watching enemas trip over themselves trying to kill the wittle zero seem to pull me right out of it.

[TexMurphy]

Problem with flying the fast planes you do fly is that they have a easy option button.

When you screw up you can always run.

The result of that is that your K/D stays high while you actually dont improve as a pilot.

Seriously if you wana improve as a pilot you should remove the easy option for your self. Easy option beeing either when all fails run or when all fails turn till the enemy pukes.

Two planes that really elevate your skill are the F6F and the P47. The Jug has a bit of a easy option in the dive but if you fly the Jug as a E fighter and really do set the goal for your self to learn E fight in it on the edge of the envelope then you will evolve as a pilot.

Nothing will make AH less fun faster than to seriously care what others think of you.  It can be fun to try to achieve a particular K/D, rank, streak or whatever; but don’t look beyond yourself for enjoyment of your achievement.

mix it.

Fly a Hurri IIC or Spit V exclusively for defence (teach you those overshoot moves as the enemies will usually be coming in more E) then offensively choose anything you feel like flying.

You will find yourself using the tactics used in the turnfighter to get yourself out of a sticky situation in the E fighter. (yes, G10's and D-9's can do ACM too )
