As if the game isn't hard enough for me already I was looking at my expanded kill stats two days ago and was surprised to see that I had flown 15 different fighter aircraft so far this camp.
Sadly, my kills per death +1 were below 1.0 for 9 of them so I set off on a little challenge for myself the past two nights... to get to 1 K/(D+1) or better in each plane I'd flown.
In the past two nights I flew 9 sorties in 8 different planes erasing my deficit with 4 of them, maintaining it in 1, making it worse in 1, making 1 that was already ahead better and adding a new one to the positive list for a total of 16 fighters flown this camp (now "behind" in 5).
All my kills and deaths have been air to air.
That made me think:
Who's flown the most different fighters so far this camp?
How many are you/they "ahead" in?
Does anyone else actually set these silly challenges for themselves?
I know theres a lot of good sticks out there (much much better than me) and the common wisdom is to learn your plane inside out but how many of the really good sticks actually follow that advice?
I will add that the majority of my flights are in 3 planes but I find jumping around kind of fun (a given in our squad) and I've flown every "style" of fighter so far this camp. Still, I mostly s***, but this little challenge has been sort of fun.
