[1701E]

Ok its 11.56% but 10 matches the number of fingers without having to take my shoes off.     earlier quote: Only about 10% of the plane set is ever used..

According to the Scores/Stats page every plane/gv in the game has been used so far this tour.  Typically with a good quantity of kills (only way I know to see how much it was used), but there are always exceptions: A6M2 only has (286) kills, B5N (126), 109E (79), D3A (61), Spit Mrk I (75).  There are others with numbers that are low, but the majority of the planes see plenty of use.  If I did it right only about 23 of the plane/gv set has less then 300 kills this tour (or less then 18kills/day average).  28 planes/gv have less then 500 kills.  Assuming I counted right there are 97 total (that may have included chute/gunner)  That's about 73% of the planes/GVs getting more then 500 kills this tour (over 31 kills per day up to today).  Just saying, more then 10-12% of the plane set is used.

Thats a lie.

I do not like people who show no respect for our forum posting rules.

Thats a lie.

No, it's not.  I just went through the current tour for the Late War arena and every plane and vehicle has been used.

The SdKfz 251 has the fewest kills, so far this tour, at 43.

Thats a lie.

I used the "Aces High Plane Statistics" page for "Late War Tour 121 Statistics for all planes/vehicles/boats" and used the Aces High Skins Download page as a comparison (pretty sure every plane/gv has a download-able skin) so it's possible I missed a few, but it would be very few.  I know most every plane in the game and the list of ones with kills looks like the list available in game, but my memory is not great.  So, again, I may have missed a few but darn near every plane, if not all, have been used in LW this tour.  Lusche is better at these number things than I am, maybe he will be willing to check the numbers.

[Skuzzy]

You did not miss any 1701E.  I went through the list myself.

I understand that Skuzzy. Really, I know what a bastard thing freedom of speach is and honestly you will never see me giving up my life to defend it. I don't think peopls should have the right to say whatever they want.

But how about fixing the film viewer and never mind trolling the MB unless you think beating over a customer is going to put more money in the owners pockets.
You maybe think the owners are fools but you don't fool me, the plane set is not being used and why spend more money making more planes that won't be used.

So, again, I may have missed a few but darn near every plane, if not all, have been used in LW this tour.

There has never been even a single tour (at least not as long as I'm playing), in which there was a GV or plane that did not get any kills.
The least used plane in the LW arena 2009 was the D3A, with still having 8162 kills & deaths total.

If counting planes only, the top 10% planes do have only 34% of all kills&deaths between them.

you don't fool me, the plane set is not being used and why spend more money making more planes that won't be used.

If nothing else works, then a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through."

I do not work in development.  

One of my responsibilities is to oversee this bulletin board.  I am pretty sure that cannot be classified as "trolling".

I am not beating over anyone.  You made a comment, I responded.  You called another member of the community a liar.  A statement not based on any fact you cared to share.  I checked the facts and you were wrong.

This discussion is going to turn into a 2 week (or more) ban party, sadly.

Off topic unfortunately:

To Skuzzy's credit, he has a tough job. Listening to people whine and moan on the phone because something doesn't work the way they think it should...and troll these forums enforcing the rules. At least he is usually unbiased in his enforcement.
