Rolling plane set is what also helped kill Warbirds.  Even HiTech admits it was a mistake to introduce that into WB, which is why we'll never have a RPS in AH.

No, WBs died of other causes.

The pony is very capable of fighting but 99.8% choose to run instead of fight or extend i should say because its easier to make excuses why you could not fight it truly dont matter if you die you always learn something from a fight.

Didn't have the time for a genuine chart yet, but...

In 2010 EW fighters (=fighters available non-perked in the EW arena) had a share of 7.91% of all kills&deaths in the LWarenas
In the first four month of 2016, this share had dropped to 4.66%, that's about 41% less.



The post above is incorrect.


Don't know what went wrong with the 2016 numbers, but I probably should not compile stuff like this in the middle of the night.  :bhead
I went through the numbers again and came up with this:

Isn't it interesting how a simple question about planes so quickly turns into a "look at me, I'm so good that I can fly anything" thread, complete with personal attacks. What a great bunch of guys.
Yup some people defiantly need a break from the forum right now.

The rolling plane set was the beginning of the end at War Birds. And Hitech would know as it was his game as well.

Yeah plus the rolling plane set really only works the best in scenarios where the fights are more organized.

   I fly the P-38L almost exclusively.  Why?  Because I like it.  Not because it's a Late War Plane, but because I like it best.

  Oh, and because it makes nice holes when I when I crash into the ground, which is what I am best at.   :lol

Make the game free for those who would use rolling plane sets, and paid for those who would want to fly any plane at any time!

bam more players + no loss of income

They revamped the Ki61 in the new game so ya, you should prolly come back and test it out.  :aok

The new Ki-61 is equipped with a much more restricted rear view unfortunately.

Do you have the breakdown of the K+D totals for each of the EW aircraft?

Holy Moly!   You work an abacus faster than anyone.  :aok

What I meant though, was the total number of kills and deaths by each of those aircraft.   For 2016, if you still have it laying around.

This is the only criteria for plane choice in my opinion.  Fly the plane that makes it fun for you! :aok
