Yikes!  That's 13 hours per day.

Yes, that is exactly my point......   Where can I get an application to work (or lack thereof) where he does?   :D   :cheers:

There's been people who have spent over 300 hours/month.  Joker2 played 395 hours playing tour 103... 395 hours!  He had several tours in the high 200's as well.

But you also never know if some people do share the same account, even though it's not allowed. But Father/Son flying on same computer is happening for sure and can explain some very high numbers.

My own record is at 235 hrs, but I found that to be extremely exhausting and it had a negative impact on my life, even though  I'm not working for a living and don't have a large family to care for. Nowadays I'm "only" playing for ~120 hrs per tour.

What makes me wonder isn't how much people are playing.. it's the fact that the "constant complainers" (you know, those guys always blaming everyone for not winning the war, not porking enemy fields an generally wasting resources) are mostly people playing several hours each day. Some guys really seem to confuse a game that you can play if you want to with going to work, whether you like it or not.

Somewhere along the way, I think this thread fell of the track.   :lol

I didn't mean to spark up a conversation about fighting tactics (run, pick, HO, conservative or aggressive).  My apologies.  :salute  I was merely curious about the number of hours people spend playing AH.   :banana:

If this topic were to digress in any direction, I would wonder ...  what does a person do for a living that he/she can afford to spend over 200 hours a month playing AH (and where can I fill out an application for that job  :lol) ?   :headscratch:

<Salute>



That is an easy question to answer.  In my case I am retired, kids are grown, and wife doesn't nag me.   :old:  I don't watch very much tv, and why would I when I have 200 available.  It's better than any show on tv.

I think I logged my most hours in Tour 94 which was 169 hours.  At that time I had some medical issues that kept me pretty much tied to the house.

It does goes to prove a point though that more hours does not equal better skills.  I still get killed all the time.   :D

What's not true? Overall ranks in late war:  1. Hoagi   137 hrs.
                                                            2. Pacerr  108 hrs.
                                                            3. Shawk  121 hrs.
                                                            4. Snailman 107 hrs.
                                                            5. Chalenge 183 hrs.

  Now Chalenge has more hours but may fly differently than Hoagi but still is ranked in the top 5.
  You have only 38 hours total time in late war thus your ranking.
  I think I'm near 50 hours.

7 hours this tour
17 hours the one before that
44 minutes the one before that
back to 17 hours...
Looking through it would seem that I rarely break 20 hours a tour
Highest was 79 I think

I need to get serious with a music program I've toyed with (Renoise www.renoise.com) I've put a few short tunes together, all instrumentals from samples. But, I'm just a novice. Still need to figure out a lot of stuff, such as mixing it so as not to blow out subwoofers, lol!
Here's a couple, but I'm not real great at it: http://www.mediafire.com/?jyqnqdmqdmu
