Thanks again guys. Again, it doesnt show that Im one of the "elite", far from it. It averages out to about 90 kills a tour and I havent been close to that in years. I think declining skill as I age and spend less time fighting, along with less targets that want to fight hurts that the most. The time is something I want to see. How much time have I spent playing?

atlau has a crap ton of kills and a great K/D, but how much time has he spent in the game? Iknow he use to spend a lot of time playing. The only way I have found to figure out the time is to use the reports, copy the time totals per tour to Excel, and get the totals thru excel. Then do that for each catagory, fighter, buffs and so on to get the total time in game, or as my wife calls it "wasted" in game. One of these days Ill do it.

Playing with the numbers is like falling down the rabbit hole watching youtube videos.  :P

If you hunt down which tours you used which names I could give it a shot tomorrow.
LNG15, which I started in 2017. I believe I started it around July 2017 but I truthfully can't remember the tours. But from that time roughly. I apologize in short, but it's been a long time since I remember. Edit: Melee Tour 211 (That's when I started.)

The reason I ask is because it is time consuming to find the tours. What I do is go to the scores page, type a name, and jump back 20 tours or so and check the scores. If it returns a score sheet I jump back another 20 or so and try again and again until it returns the error"so and so did not fly in tour blah,blah,blah". Then I move forward halfing to number of tours until I hit scores again. Next request is going back half again. I do this until I narrow it down to the first tour the player played in.

With a single name Im done and can use the program to run the numbers. For multiple "names" like you have I have to do this for all of them hunting down BOTH start tours and end tours. So in the case of your one name it would take 2-3 minutes, the others would be 5-6 minutes each or more. In the end I could spend over a half hour just hunting tour/names. The program its self is just punch in the name,arena, and tour start and finish, and hit "OK". It runs in the background and is a bit slow so as to not hammer HTCs server but its all automatic from then on.

So heres yours for the "LNG15" handle

You a big fibber!   :P

You started in tour 11, the program through a bunch of errors. Usually those are tours where you didnt fly. So this is what I ended up with.

Cheers Fugi, I got AH burnout and took a break for a year or two and went to WW2Online. Still kept my AH sub - I think it was around the time HT split the MA. Definitely flew in the beta, came over from WB when Ripsnort told me about AH.

I checked, there is no "Vulcan" in the 3 beta tours, nor the first 10 tours.  :headscratch:

Just checked through the website, I had 6 kills in a P-51 in Beta Tour 1 as Vulcan, and 96 in Tour 1. I notice if I try to click through it throws an error. Never mind it's no big deal :)
