Lusches AH Stats Megathread

[LilMak]

I caught the trees last night so it does happen all too often.  Don't fly a P47 for a few days then switch to a P38.  Had LilMak coming to my sights at 450MPH+.  He obviously knew I was in a P38.  I obviously did not.

Still giggling about that one! When you hit, I knew exactly what was going on.

What is the most commonly used Jabo in the game..  I know the bish love the 38 but over all

That's not easy to tell, if you mean strictly Jabo.
The P-51 is about the most used Jabo capable plane, but I can't tell how much of it's sorties are air to ground and how much it's used strictly as a fighter. (actually, I can't tell the number of sorties at all )

I could say which 'Jabos' kill the most vehicles, but that's a bad indicator for that: Just Think about the lot's of P-38L raids which shut down bases and kill towns before any vehicles spawn vs relatively few A-20 sorties raking up a number of kills over a spawn.

Ok, here's a different take on it (which I have also done before):

Planes most killed by ground fire (vehicles, PT, all variants of manned ack):

What the... lancasters? aren't they supposed to fly above the acks?
Damn, I knew they were abused, but I never imagined it was that bad. More acks deaths than the P51..

Not when trying to sink CV's...

I have to wonder if the P47 is not on the list because of its durability but then the F4u1D is on the list.  Uhmmm?  Interesting numbers anyway.

This only takes into account MANNED ack, correct?  If auto ack kills a plane, how would that be tracked?

My guess is if you also added "death and bails" from auto ack hits, it would be even more evident how the Lanc-stuka is abused.

Not at all, if nobody is around to collect a proxy.
However, when attacking CV's, most ack deaths are kills actually by 5" manned ack. Auto puffy is very harmless to buffs in particular.


As a side note, "lanc stuka" and its impact is one of the biggest exaggerations in AH land, second only to "they always gang on us and NEVER fight each other"

Lancs frequently bomb vehicle bases from low altitudes and are easy pickings for a competent field gunner.

And yet another take on it, this time a bit comprehensive:



Upcoming: Did doubling the Me 163 perk price have any impact on it's usage? Will take a look at it at the beginning of next tour. 

[Tank-Ace]

I'm honestly a bit shocked that the B-29 even registers on your chart, given how cautious all of the ones I've seen are.



Also, I have a request; would it be possible for you to chart up the effectiveness of the Yak-3 vs the 109K, 190D, and La-7 (would also include the P-51D and Spit XVI, but I think that the numbers are skewed by noob usage to such a degree that results would be... irrelevant)

Specifically, I'd be interested to see how it compares for overall fighter vs fighter performance (as measured by kills on fighters per deaths to fighters) and how many times they've killed/died to each other.

Do we have a way to see who has the most tank kills in an aircraft? Kind of like, who is the best bomb****

Practically not. Tracking the detailed killstats for every pilot would take me lots (= hundreds of) hours for even just a single tour.

My guess is 80% of the P38's killed were apart of some form of mission ran by the gaychemist or jokers pokers .
