Back on topic, I only look for a red icon to shoot / bomb. Often I don't even know which enemy country I just fought against.


I was under (the apparently mistaken) impression that the Bish were the default, as I was a bish the first time I logged onto the game for my 2 week trial... Thanks for the clarification Lusche. I publically apologize for that portion of my rant.

Truth be told I look for the best fight, or the place where we can wreak the most havok on the opposition.  I look to take the initative away from the "bad" guys, and to make them react to us rather than reacting to what they are doing. I always find it more fun to create a fight on my own (and our squads) terms than to wade into a huge furball. I also like to break up a spawn camp... just to aggrivate the campers.

New players default to the country with the lowest numbers the first time they log in.

Don't hunt anyone in particular (though I will sometimes look for the last guy who killed me).

As far as country differences go, well, there shouldn't be a real net difference with so many on a "country's" side. In spite of that, my KPD is almost 2 kills per death better against the bish than the rooks.

For some odd reason, Rooks have consistently a significant higher total K/D as a country than Knights or Bishops.

Last tour: Rook K/D 1.21, Knight K/D 0.96, Bish K/D 0.85.
 And it has been that way at least since I started playing 2 years ago.

I usually log on and fight against the side we need the most help against.  Somehow that always seems to be against the Knights so I usually end up fighting Knights a bit more than Rooks.

Over time, my K/D rate is consistantly 1 K/D better aginst Knights than Rooks so I guess it all works out OK.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Like Latrobe I to go for the most annoying airplane out there. I try, if I see them a P38 nd then hurris, or LAs. Next would be the ponys and the spits. After that I see and shoot.

Our squad usually works together as a team to accomplish various goals within AH. Determining who we go after normally is decided by which base is under attack, who has the most bases or where the biggest dar bar is.

By opening  Kill  Stats in expanded format located in the scores section provided by HTC I was able to see that we as a squad killed more Bish than Knits last Tour. I thought we pretty much attacked or defended against both a little more evenly. I'll check tour 93 next to be sure.


 Tour  94
Country       Kills Of     killed by
Bishop                    4339       3699
Knight                    3736        3316
Rook        8075     kills as Rook
 

Looks like we killed a few more Bish again

Tour 93
Bishop                                  3076       2550
Knight                                  2474       2026


Tour 92 we killed more Knits so it appears

Tour 92
3139 Kills of Bishops
2665 Deaths by Bishops

3949 Kills of Knights
3498 Deaths by Knights

Going back farther it seems to ping pong back and forth between them. I guess that makes us equal opportunity killers.  We as a squad don't appear to be killing or taking bases from one side more than the other most of the time and is dependent on my first statement.
 

 I was unable to see country  vs. country stats to see who fights who more often. Knits seem to complain more about being double teamed tho. I see the knits banding together more lately and all countries fight each other evenly overall unless near a reset.

I use to up to hunt bombers on non squad nights but I seem not able to find them anymore. I just up from CV's or where ever the Bish need the help and start porking fields in the area.

This last tour I had more kills vs Rooks @ 1.7 k/d, Knights was 2.3 k/d. I went back and checked the last three tours and it didn't mater what side i killed more the k/d were the same. So i conclude the Rooks are more skilled, which is obvious cause they are defiantly better in 1vs1 and also seem to able to work together in teams better, but thats just my opinion from experience.

I only fly Rooks and Knights when I'm really drunk, and that requires me to work a computer which is rare combo. So needless to say my kills vs bish are no good.
