It's true, I have more "kills of" (23898) Bish than "kills as" (2643) ... But I started my AH career as a Bish and do still a few hops as one occasionally :)

Sort of like everyone else that changes countries.  You will stay where your safe and can perk points in horde and hide.

Again your graph should say one thing that is obvious, rooks horde and outnumber the opposition which leads to a higher K/D, usually having more people on game at any given time will do that.

Second, as stated by many, you will rarely ever find a rook alone without 10 wingmen at 15k. 

Your graph already confirms what we know, rooks will run from a fight when any advantage is put on them.  Hence, NOE's are meant to not only take what you wont die for or defend, but to thin you out, when we do that, the bbs lights up with the whines about noe's. 

Everyone wants to fight, but only when your in a horde will rooks fight, cant find a fight without going to a horde.  Maybe NOE's ain't so bad after all, it weakens the horde and forces you to spread it thin, if not you lose ground, and you guys with the K/D complex rarely are the ones to separate from the horde.

From my perspective as a bishop over the years i've felt rooks fly higher and more timidly than knights- as a generalisation.

Lusche, have you the k/d for the spit14 last tour?  I know i flew it like an absolute dweeb last tour, i wonder who was the other dweeb that inflated its usual crappy stats.  :) :noid

I think it was some rook alt-monkey who inflated Spit 14's K/D by mainly hunting buffs in it...

It has occured to me that the bishops always have the most numbers. Only very early in the morning and during FSO out perk bonus is more than 1.50. And yet we always get horded and ganged.....Odd.

As a knit I prefer fighting bish because it's less gas wasted chasing the rooks to 22k and 5 sectors out.

Hence maybe the bish just get hit more because they actually are worth fighting?

I know that many people think of countries differently. Is this true? For example the Rooks as Alt potatos and the Bishops taking alot of bases and the Knights that cant seem to win the war?

Is the grass really browner on the other side?

As a rook, i am bored of chasing the astronaut bish/knit, who refuse to fight me under 10k, unless they come in hordes.

My only idea... uneven distribution of new players at their first login. But that's really a wild guess only.


That would be my guess, we bish do seem to get a tremendous amount of Noob's, always new ID's showing up
then they are gone.

OR Rooks have better aircraft mechanics  :lol
