The Luftwhiner rant gives Schlowy away.  Storch wasn't a Luftwhiner, just a whiner.

ack-ack

He was both, depending on his evolutional/regressive devolutional status. He went through a 'Oh how unfair things are stacked against Luftwaffe plane set fans!' phase more than once.

LW planes are quite good.  I've flown them a lot for scenarios, and they definitely can hold their own or more than hold their own matched up against their historical competition.  For example, in a scenario setting, I think that the FW 190A-5 is better than the Spit V.  FW 190D-9's and Bf 109K-4's are excellent, with their toughest scenario competition (in my opinion) being Spit 14's and Tempests.  Bf 109F's and G's are quite good.  Bf 109E's are much less capable, but the competition is the Spit I and Hurri I, against which they are decent.

That's how much I've paid on average over the past six months to play AH.  Back when it was $0.50/day it seemed like a good deal.  Now not so much.

Seems like a lot of fun to be had for a $1 ...  :D

Over the last 6 months my Aces High has cost me $90/hr since I haven't played at all.

Actually he was, I had the misfortune of being his CO and had to listen to the Hitech bias theory night after night.  :uhoh

well, using that calculation HT should hand me the keys. I paid for at list 6 months without playing a minute.  So (6 * 15) / 0 = ?

"Excellent..."

Not to mention that 98% of criminals ate bread the day they committed a crime.  Ban bread now!!!!

On the 190, if I had to bet a dollar I would bet that it was not elite pilots but elite vulchers lol.  Whats an elite 190 pilot?  The guy that dives the fastest or the one performing the dolphin maneuver flawlessly?  :rofl

Well if it's namecalling you want, you guys aren't too shaby at that beached-Shamoo maneuver most of the time I'm screaming down your 6's in a Dora.

You're wrong. Statistics lie because they only show statistics, not the reasons behind them.

If you read statistics you can see that every person who ever drank water in their lives, ended up dead sooner or later. Just having something in the stats doesn't mean the reasons behind it are obvious.

The 190 k/d rates may have been elevated because they saw mostly action in the hands of a few elite players for example where more 'common' planes get slaughtered in the hands of noobs and result in abysmal k/d rate.

You are correct.  Statistically you will die if you drink water....and if you breath oxygen.  Those are statistics and they are not incorrect.  However, when they are studied,  which is the second basis of statistics, they would be found to not be causal to death. 

The 190 stats are correct.  Why are they correct?  Just because we know why they are correct doesn't make the output incorrect.  It makes it less important.

wrong you can die from drinking water.  just plain old water.  and not just by drowning :).  and you can also die and people have died from breathing oxygen.  just plain old oxygen only.
