Please keep those stats coming.
Despite what the masturbleaters crowd says many of us like em (not just cos we're on em too
).
I respect anyone who keeps their k/ds high (well cept maybe the n1ki crowd). Its extremely easy to get killed in AH, between the ack, HO'ers and there always being someone 'higher than you'. So its not an easy job to bring a bird home. Tell me how often you try and complete the mission in an offline sim? IE, Falcon 4? Don't you try and bring your bird home there? So why not do it here to!
The accusations of vulching to pad these scores is BS IMHO. The pilots the end up on these lists usually fly a style which doesn't always put them where the vulchable action is. Last tour I can only remember a couple of occassions where I was on a vulchable field, and that only resulted in 15 or so kills - nothing in the overall picture.
The 'they fly perks' excuse is BS as well. Perks are the biggest death magnet around - as soon as someone sees a perk its reported and pretty soon you have a small fan club chasing you down - and those guys will do anything to kill you, including blatant HOs. Perks are not invincible!
And the squeak-slap you when you're not looking... well you SHOULD be looking the minute your wheels leave the ground. My favourite flight (as many will know) is to find where we're being attacked, suss out which base the enemy is launching from, fly a back route there, and harass the baddies at that base - and its hardly vulching when the ack is up. In fact its a hard mission as the bad guys you nail usually have plenty of friends nearby to avenge them. Its also a good tactical mission as it takes pressure of our attacked fields (ohhh how many times have I been chased off by 5+ fighters!).
Lastly, in the lists I've seen I have yet to see someone who can't mixup it up and come out on top. They are all good aggressive fighters. Many of them have pissed all over me one on one. So the 'they don't mix it up and run' excuse doesn't work for me either. Sure they might not hang around for a 5vs1 - but cornered these guys will chew you up and spit you out like a hooker with rabies.
The only real downfall I see in these lists is the size of SOME (a small some) of the egos. Mebbe AKDejaVu can add an ego column?
Stop bleating, respect these people for what they see as a hard earned goal - if you don't like it leave it alone, and respect AKDejaVu for the amount of effort he puts into generating this data.
