Snailman - K/D

[titanic3]

I smell a competition brewing.

1- We start next tour.
2- Highest Kill to Death ratio is winner, the Snailman will verify.
3- Do we require you to select only one bird for the whole tour?
4- Do we require all combatants to fly this same bird?
5- Do we track who is killed to ensure someone doesn't kill the same noob 200 times?
6- Do ditches count as a death? [Note: Wasn't Hartmann shot down like 10 times?]
7- What else?
8- Thread created for those who want in.
9- Same thread is used to post the winners.
10- When a combatant is killed they need to log into BBS and post their kill on the thread so we know who is out.
11- Those who finish the tour without a loss get a loaf of French bread and a bottle of warm, flat bear.
12- Highest K/D gets bragging rights.
13- Who's in?

I'm in.

Oh, will he?

I think not

By chance I had (and still have) a kinda killstreak at this beginning of tour 150.

Now I'm wondering if I should actively go for it... I haven't done that in years because it's kinda unnerving me    Usually I can fly much more relaxed after my first deaths 

streaks are memorable for the person attempting. especially if you get into the hundreds. I remember how I lost my 152 kill streak in a p51... to an LA7. and last tour when I made it to 156 kills I remember how i tried to clear a friendlies six of a spit16 when they turned at me with the spit on their tail... the spit hit me in the cockpit with a cannon round head on as I tried to duck out of the way and my 109 exploded

death in any category though ends the streak for me personally. I don't really differentiate between fighter and attack scores when I attempt it.

Oh comeon Snailman...we all know if I am the one counting the votes magically I might come in second place or something. In any case, I'm in with Titan. My goal is to survive!

A few more jump in and we should create a thread for it.

Boo

PS I also thought, we need to agree on a minimum amount of hops flown, maybe 20 or something.

The challenge is on! Titanic just started a thread under Tour 151 K/D challenge...winner gets a cookie!

I know, once in the eighties (tour number wise ) I went up to 142 until a 109K ended it all. But near the end of this streak, I found it quite stressful. While generally trying a lot to avoid my virtual death, I never ever went for a killstreak again.

death in any category though ends the streak for me personally. I don't really differentiate between fighter and attack scores when I attempt it.

Personally,  I would differentiate, because in this case I would need the attack mode to fly the odd 'silly' sortie for pure fun

Nothing is easier to check than k/d. The score page is just one click away. If you really need me for that  I'm wondering who is starting the computer for you each day 

And I'm just not interested in this kind of K/D competitions.

[titanic3]

Hmm, I consider it a challenge. I like challenges. Besides, I've done enough fighting and furballing for a few tours now, 1 tour of being a score potato won't hurt.  Sorry Debrody, I know this breaks your heart.

OK, fine. I'll find that dang page you speak of. I guess next time I should ask before I volunteer you for duty. My days in the military taught me to neither ask for volunteers, nor volunteer, the bossy guy up front will simply sort it out. Guess I'm not in the military anymore. haah

I'm not used to follow orders. I was not fit for military service, so I was not drafted 

[SEseph]

Never
Again
Volunteer

Fishu held a k/d streak record for a long time he had something over 270 k/d. Then he burned out and quit.

I think a few of us have already broken that streak. If 270 is accurate.

It is not.  It was much higher, well over 300 as I recall.  He did it during beta using an Fw190A-8.  It should be noted that there was an error in the flight model in versions earlier than v1.03 that caused turning to bleed excessive E making it harder to evade BnZ attacks.

And there it already happened. B-24 gunner took me out
