Interesting stats I pulled here....
I was gong over the last ten tours and trying to see who the top guys are. Rusyn hit 2000 kills (over multiple tours) in the same number of hours as Grizz and Sunsfan. So, perhaps it is still possible to hit 2000 in a single tour.
It could be possible. Just depends on how much of a life you don't have, I guess ... Hahaha. Doing it over a month is a lot harder than a period of months. Playing every day for 12-18 hours takes a toll on ya. The timing of the arenas and which ones are up throughout the month make a difference too.
I don't think Grizz really ever tried for "time" per say. He would normally get a high K/S which would give him his K/T.
IMO the metric to follow is K/S. A high K/S represents your ability to get a high # of kills in the MA every time you roll. This means you can't be a timid flyer or you will run outa gas, and you can't be a spray n pray or you will run out of ammo. You have to match your kills or higher every sortie to keep it up. This is the metric I typically go for when rolling. I don't really take into account K/T, its typically pretty high because I go for 4-10 kills every time I roll. Different planes call for different styles also. Gotta be a lot more patient in the American fighters to get alt if you want a lot of K/S, but also aggressive enough to get the higher amount of kills.
One thing I like about K/S is that it's not based on spending every hour of the day to rack up points or whatever. Plus it's a lot more fun to be able to get more kills during your sorties rather than fly in the stratosphere protecting your K/D only getting 2 kills then running out of gas.
Everyone has their strong points.
Working on your K/S will greatly help you to improve in the game.
I never even seen rusyn before which is pretty funny. Must've been a shade...
