I like where this is going, I cant wait!

Although for our members that like stats but want to know more...

Is it possible you at some point you provide us in detail about how you go about turning numbers into data?  (my question belongs in the OC, but since you brought it up...)

I mean programs (I assume excel, and formulas)

It's actually very basic stuff, no formulas to speak of. Statistically versed players know for a long time that I don't do any real 'statistical analysis' - Simply becasue I do not understand it. I suck at maths. (I'm not kidding)
So for the most part it's just an elaborate form of copy & paste, then let the chart function of OpenOffice do the work.
Data is coming from the AH plane stats page (for pure plane & GV data and to get the pilot ID's), and the Pilot Score page (for key data like base captures, time spend in the different MA's, sortie profiles and so on).

The only 'creative' part is having the idea what to look for, how to get it (programming), interpreting the data and the presentation. That's all.  :joystick:

I upped and bailed a Yak9u 1532 times because I was afraid.  I hope that didn't skew the numbers any
