I not dangerous, I ranked 10th.  I a milker, picker and runner as I am called on 200 and pm's all the time.  I think these posts are hilarous.  They mean nothing along with score/rank.  I have never tried for the single digit ranks.  Don't care to either.  I rather fight it out with someone or a squad then milk run like the people on the list that was stated earlier.  I just happen to be on that list because I do it all for the squad.  I bomb, attack, GV it and kick butt in fighters.  If u are going to attack a field, select attack.  If u putting up a defense for your field, select fighter.  

Only reason to have a good rank imho is to control a CV from newbs who take the CV right into the coast with ords and SB's up at enemy field.

if you care to look at the stats for the top fiter pilots you will find several consistencies:

1.  at least 1/4-1/2 of their kills are in perk planes...cough cough:rolleyes:
unclear to me why a true skill fiter only guy hops in 262s/c-hogs, f4u4 and tempests (hmmmmm)

2.  other half of their kills are in 109k4's (new perk/point farmer of choice)

3.  They play unbelievable amounts of hours....i think an average of 60 hours in just fiter mode from what i remember....i think i have 6 fiter hours with 25 total hours...and i think i play a lot...

so their is your answer...to be top 10 fiter you need to play tons of hours, use perk planes to jack your k/d up, and fly a perk farming  plane in a way that will get you tons of points....

awesome!

Wait, I guess since yer Top 20.   You must be Tiffany?    Rank is but one a few methods to "gauge someone".

The day I give a damn "who is ranked what", is the day that will never come.

You just saved me a lot of typing.   Perfectly stated Falcn.

I'm still hoping one day I will be under 1000, normally I'm in the 2k range:(

There only 2 perk rides that I really fly and it only depends on the mission.  If I attacking a field, its the C hog.  IF I going to catch all the runstangs and lala's, I up the -4 hog.  Otherwise, it the -1 hog for me.  I actually like the -1 better then all the hogs.  Love it when I kill lala's, runstangs, spit 8's, spit 16's and even zekes (in turn fights) and hear them whine on 200 or PM me saying I cheat, there no way a -1 hog can do that.

Thats not really true only about 70 or my 600+ fighters kills have been in a perk plane and there mostly just to fly for fun. 200+ of my fighter kills are in the jugs. The other kills are mostly in p-38s p51s American Muscle is the only way to go!

I would never fly a 109 cant aim taters for squat.

I only have 40 some hours in fighter mode I think.

I'm ranked in the top 10 of fighter pilots.  Personally I don't think rank is a definitive indicator of skill level but the stats in various categories may give an  idea of skill.  

That said, NONE of the above points you made apply to me, not one.
When you get your foot out of your mouth, you are having crow for supper.  I heard it's palatable with a healthy does of A1 sauce, you may want to pick some up.

Same here, but it was always while I was fighting someone else, lol

There is only one thing that is truly important here:


Platano, where are you getting a dime bag for $5?!?

[Zazen13]

I'm living proof fighter rank means nothing. I never, ever vulch and can  obtain a top 10 fighter rank at will. Even in the face of stiff competition vs. people who fly 10 times as many hours as I do simply by picking my prey carefully and flying a fast plane...I have close to zero actual talent or skill, but never fight at a disadvantage if I can possibly avoid it...

My method is proof positive you don't have to be good or a vulcher to rank well in the fighter category, you just have to be mentally disciplined and reasonably intelligent.

I'm thankful I'm not the only one that caught this.
