24 hours played still at over 18 hit% hmmmm....

[SkyRock]

How creative and sophisticated....

ooops, you've lost them again.

Hope you find them.

Skyrock,
    Wouldn't you say that getting a very high hit percentage is a matter of discipline than skill? When I ask this question I am not really referring to the buff hunters or one hit wonders. If I wait til I can see the whites in their eyes its not really an issue. However when that 109 is out running my 4 fifties (P-51B is my plane of choice as of late) beyond 600 yards and I really do not have time to wait him out. Sure I can fire (while killing my hit percentage) or I can wait for my speed to run him down. In turn fights I can easily break 50% on any given flight. Where talking 200 to 400 yards with a full canopy in view (basically the largest profile your gonna get) with sustained bursts. Give me a few 190 runners that I really want dead and that number can go to 5% or less.

So is it skill or discipline (patients might be a better word)?

P.S. In general, are cannons or machine guns the best for accuracy counts?

(Talking true dog fighting only...ignore buffs for this one.)

Look, I don't even find my own stats very interesting let alone yours. And especially on 96 different planes over six months.

I would never have posted them but you challenged me to do it.  I've got nothing to hide.

BTW, better to fly a Spit into a 10 or more on one (which is exactly what I've done mostly the last 2 nights... watch my score drop) than to fly your manly plane with your little hoard.

Well see, your assuming too much on how I fly the Yak. I don't join missions and I certainly don't fly with even 1 wingie let alone hordes small or large. Maybe you should know your opponents a little better before making cliche assumptions.

I don't do DA. I'm easy enough as it is to pick out in the MA, just come find me sometime.

[Noir]

well I don't do DA to pwn people, its just that its easy to have several fights in a few minutes with the same player at coalt...the only time I found you on MA, the fight started when you were on my 6 at 200 yards 

but thats fine, I'll find you

[SkyRock]

I don't do DA.

Which is exactly how this started when you made assumptions which I rebutted.  Then you challeneged me... repeatedly, to which I repsonded.

That last statement about hoards was more generic than specific to you but I thought I'd let you interpret it how you'de like.  I don't even know you.  I think it takes a lot more to fly into a hugely outnumbered situation alone in an uber ride than to be a hoard lemming in a "mans" ride but that's just me.

I'm done.  This isn't worth continuing.

Who cares? 18% isnt a number which is out of reach.  Don't see what the big deal is?

I this,  , a big deal?


I think 18% is an extremely hard stat to reach after 120 sorties or so, and I challenge any of these weenies to try to do it next tour and post it in this thread.  Again, it is nearly impossible without great amounts of extreme dweebery.

At any rate, don't get a heart attack over it, just my thoughts on the matter.

It's not as impossible as you think, it really just takes some discipline to get a high hit percentage without having to resort "dweebery" to achieve it.

1) Fire within close ranges (400 yards or closer)
2) Do not strafe anything (i.e. GVs, buildings, vulching)
3) Do not take high probability snap-shots, only take shots that you know will land.
4) *Most Important*  Learn how to aim with your piper instead of your tracers

Even with those four simple rules, one can easily achieve an 18% hit percentage if one has the discipline to go for it.  YMMV.

I agree, now lets see who has the right stuff, I can garuntee you I can't do it, I am to fond of fighting the horde where some spraying is needed to manipulate baddies.  I set conv at 3-400 and sometimes get hits at 800 to 1000 just to chime in and make the fella fight.  It's not conducive to high hit%.

Heart attack over it? Whatever.  I am not the one bringing it up, i am just questioning why there is a 3 page thread about it on the bbs.  Maybe i have been here too long and am just blasé about everything...
