Main arean tours
« on: September 03, 2008, 12:09:12 AM »
I play AH quite a bit and I only recognize Shawk on the list of winners of the Main tour score. How does a person win a tour and you don't recognize them as one of the players in the game. Do they really play the game?  When? Where?

I am just curious is see Shawk on all the time and it make sense that he would be up there. How come I never run into any of the other players that are 1st place no less on the tour.

I understand not running into the early and mid war guys because i so rarely fly those arenas.

I'm from England,   I play at fighting.  I am pretty good at fighting, after all these years at avoiding the fight for score, but now that I have experience, I am now just acting cocky, I will beat your arse unless u ask me to DA, for which I will gladly reply.......I'm English, and score is all I care for!




Spot on tardboi! :aok

Well one reason my name might not be familiar is that I took a year off, played a month or two and took another 6 months off, returning just two months ago. I play between 8PM and 11PM West Coast time.

There's around 6000 players.  You expect to run into all of them?

As others have eluded to...this game is played by people all around the world.  Don't assume just because the creators are in the US (and I assume you are as well), that nobody outside the US plays...or plays during your prime-time.  Even across the US, there is a 4-hour time difference from coast to coast.

I have to agree with Bruv119...  I switched to bish from rook for a few sorties yesterday and ran into Bruv a few times.  It didn't go well for me.  There are good sticks and good gunners in this game and Bruv119 is both of those.  <S> Bruv119

I think I've seen SHAWK once or twice.  I think in order to get the number 1 rank in things he's having to do the gamey stuff all the time.  Stuka a strat, land and unload your guns into a target, rinse & repeat type stuff.  I'm sure it's exciting as all get out though.

Hmm it was in the context of If you are the top score it might make sense that you play enough that I might run into them. I imagine that it is close to the 90-10% rule. 10% play ninety percent of the time. I can understand not running into the other ninety % if they only play 10% of the time.

S anyway

I live in AZ  U.S. and play 9:00 am to 11:00 pm range AZ time Maybe that is the reason

You didn't run into me in August by did once in July. My 51, your 38.  I doubt you'll see my name in lights again though.  I think the normal fighter score toads took the month off. Score toads like bruv or pacerr will be basck on top again this month. Score toads are easy to spot. 

Look at Bruv as an example. He's probably a fine stick and great guy but he'll fly a sortie in fighter mode and then be very careful, fly safely. This can be witnessed by his current score: 8 kills in fighter mode, 8 kills in a 51.  When he is really going to fight and actually risk getting shot down, he'll switch his score to attack mode. If you mention this, they'll invariably spout the same excuses:  "I brought ord to a base so it was attack mode." In the new tour, Bruv has 11 kills in a hurri, all in attack mode. I doubt he was raiding bases or carrying ord with a hurri. This is a good example of "gaming" the system and it's people like this who render the ranking system irrelevent as far as gauging your progress goes, beyond comparing one's own numbers. As a tool of ranking "skill" it is nearly useless.
