My increase in BBS usage has twigged my inner toon pilot.. I'm thinking of grabbing a 110 or a 109F should I plunge back in over the Easter weekend.

Yep, I’ll usually throw a 109 G-2 in the mix once or twice to change things up but that’s about it  :D

P51-D
190 A8

I sucked worse at both, until I followed Fugitive's convergence recommendations. I still suck, just a little less.

Finally found some of my old stats and apparently I used to spend way more time in a tank than I do now. Had 179 kills in a panzer alone. Mid War tour 114 from July 2009!



 
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Despite having 411 Kills and 394 Deaths to look through of my own that tour, it appears we may never shared the same airspace in opposition.

Always have been. I don’t have a good answer as to why. Just liked the people I guess. I’ve switched to the others a few times but only for a session any length of time.

I was definitely better back in the day lol. Played more time last month and don’t even have half the kills I had in tour 114 but I have 1.5X the deaths lol.

If you give me the tours that you flew under which name I can run the numbers and get you the totals if you like.

Hey thanks Fugitive that’s a nice offer but no need for all that work. I don’t remember what tour I started in anyway. I also thought I spelled my name with out the c which is why I could never find it.

Not sure I want more reminders of how far I’ve slipped lol.  :old:

Fogitaboutit. Flying for K/D is boring. Makes you timid and isn't fun.

Going back to flyin and dieing. THATS fun. If you see me in a P51 or 47. Bring it !! Easy kill here  :aok

I suggest you find someone to wing up with each sortie - and finding a good partner will open up options to take advantage.   You don't even have to announce it, but just latch onto someone you see as being good/aggressive.


So in my continual quest to be the badist mothr in the valley I am going to fly two. The Brew, fighter mode, and the 51 in attack mode.

The goal being to have a positive K/D.

If I can do that, my wife will allow guns in the house...
