And no, I'm not going to identify everybody now. This was supposed to be fun, not work 

Awww, but but but, we all want to know where own little star in the sky is.

Luche,
is that me?

oh and WTG midway  

[Ardy123]

You have forgotten to include "captured" and "bailed" in your deaths

Why would you add bailed? if you bail over enemy terr == captured so your number could be counted twice

[Babalonian]

Think Midway stood out last tour, wait 'til you crunch the numbers for this tour. 

[Lusche]

A mission can only end with "captured" or "bailed". It can't be both of them and thus can't be counted double at all.

Non death sortie endings:
Landed
Ditched

Full death sortie endings:
Death
Bailed (= in friendly territory
Captured ( =  in enemy territory)

Half death sortie ending:
Disco

And that's how things are set up by HTC, not by me. I just dropped discos this time to speed up things, apart from that I followed the official rules.

Bailed (= in friendly territory

as for it counting to your k/d, I don't know about that.
One can bail with no enemies around and no damage and no one gets the kill. If its a zero-sum game, no kill for another must equate to no death for you.

As far as player score is concerned, it is not. I f you fly into a mountain with no one around, no one gets the kill either - but you are still dead.
It's only a zero sum game for plane based stats.

FYI in tour 140, 479k deaths have been suffered according to the plane stats pages. But if you check the scores of all those players appearing on the plane stats pages, you will find 563k total deaths. About 15% of all score "deaths" (excluding disco) had no victor.

hmm interesting... learned something new about AH scoring.

FYI

Did you know that your fighter rank is just the sum of your ranks in the various categories listed under fighter score, rolled up into one number and then ranked? Your overall RANk is the sum of your fighter, attack, vehicle, Bomber, etc...rolled up into one number and ranked.

I thought this was a thread on the old single panel cartoon.

  Might be thinking of The Far Side?

[Shuffler]

My favorite Far Side cartoon was two guys flying over a deserted island.  There was person on the island who had placed tree trunks on the beach spelling HELP but the one tree at the end of the p had washed away.  The Pilot was saying "Oh, nevermind, it says HELF" as he was turning away.
