Just because a player scored more kills than the current amount of players doesnt mean they scored the most kills ever in the game. IMO though, like I said, its more about how many hours you can play the game in a month in easy mode planes, which IMO, does more to run players out of the game than anything.

1600 kills in 144 = 11 kills per hour at an average of 5 hrs per day.

This may be good, but I don’t see it as phenomenal. Even if it were clean playing.

Said person kill count didn’t drive players out nearly as much as the undue unwelcome buzz-kill stunts in 200 and bbs. Better yet a system setup to target specific players.

I would never consider myself as anywhere near “great”,… but a few days ago I got 15+ kills in an hr.

Point being, it depends how much time in game per day.

Back in band camp I worked to get to #1 in AW RR, all that work just to be topped 4 days later because I relaxed. That’s when I decided it was just too much work to get there, better yet sustain it. Then buzz-kill confrontations with losers.

Done that, got the t-shirt, I’m good.
Many old time vets have same concept. Let someone else achieve it.

Since, the game is fun with much less work. For me it’s about tweaking my ACM and SA and good off good missions. I don’t care about points. I fly casual. Once in a while the aggressive kill side of me gets triggered like above.

If the competition for points keeps players interested and playing great.

But at some point, for many who remain, ya graduate from dirt bike to harley dresser. I’m just cruzin, I’m good.

I see ykw as still on dirt bike

You do realuze how many will shout about “runners”?

No they already get extra credit for landing

If you’re worried about runners, you brought the wrong plane or strategy.

I was browsing the forums and saw that there was an updated version of the AH stats program. For giggles, I ran the stats on every person named in this thread. What I found was veryyyy surprising.

Out of everyone mentioned here, guess who has the most flight hours?

Dolby.

4,760 hours just on Dolby (I didn't even run his old shades). That's even more than Skyyr (I ran all of Skyyrs ids too) :rofl

The problem is, you don't have all the ID's people were flying under over the years. If you put in all my ID's, you would get over 17K flight hours fort he (LW)MA alone. By the way, that's far from being the top in AH, the late DR7 had about 25K hours.

For some of us, AH was full-time job  :uhoh

I didn't need it in this case. I have all of Skyyr's and I got Violator's from previous statistic threads (Violater, Viol8her, Violator, and catfish6). Dolby had more than all of theirs. 

But I agree, if I was trying to calculate who had the most out of an unknown group of players, yes - I'd need that.

I was running stats for the players who ranked routinely over various tours and the number of hours they logged under their IDs is genuinely terrifying. People claim Skyyr flew a lot, but Skyyr isn't even anywhere near the top. 2cmex has almost 11,500 hours logged just under 2cmex. I'll post the stats later.

Can you list them, for verification?  :aok

Also, did you include those times he flew others' accounts?  :noid

Psst... been reading stats pages <cough> 30-11, not 31-8 <cough> is how I read the record.  :aok  At least on Skyyr1-3's...   :joystick:

He had a free pass 16-3 the first month he came back before I figured out his weego-counting-style, and his last six months before he got buh-byed it was 8-6.  All of my kills on them were organic encounters, several being quite hilarious.

Oh, here's an example of a "win" for them - I just "died" first. I'd call it a wash, but they insist it's 1-0.  :rofl

Pretty easy to use the program, Steely did a great job with it.

https://github.com/steelington/AHStats/releases/tag/v1.1.3

download it and double click the exe file to run it. The "release" page has tips on how to use the program.

Good fish I'll bite

There was a Dolby before me, you are seeing the stats for two people.
A P51 guy who changed to Rogent before I became Dolby.  :)

You can find the original by the name DoLbY on this BBS.
My taking over of the name will start with the tour that coincides with this LCADolby BBS account join date.

As for my Shades.. Outside of; Cargnico which isn't really a shade, they were throw away single tours.
From memory they were; SuperDry, VonGrimm, Plume, Magnum.
I didn't have that many, despite what the paranoid may believe.

Shane, I pulled your lifetime stats (you played more than Skyyr too):

Total time played: 5,266 hours (I guess I didn't pull yours from earlier in the thread, so now you're #1, beating out Dolby)
Lifetime kills: 34,080
Lifetime K/D: 1.55
Kills/Hour: 6.47
Best tours for kills: 1,289 kills in tour 39, 1,034 kills in tour 40, and 901 kills in tour 24

You were actually at the bottom for almost all players' stats (with the exception of hours played, where you were in the top 1/3), including:
  • Grizz
  • Skyyr
  • Bruv119
  • 2cmex
  • Violator
  • Drex
  • TonyJoey
  • Dolby
  • kappa

Stay salty, sir.

Noted  :salute

Thus far, here's the list of most kills/tour. It's not comprehensive, but I'm casually adding new players as I find people who played a lot with a decent number of kills. Give me any names and I'll add them into their ranking in the list.

Most Kills Per Tour:
  • Skyyr: 2,360 kills during 291; followed by 2,171 in tour 200; 2,134 in 290; and 2,038 in 219
  • Grizz: 2,196 kills in tour 119, followed by 2,011 in tour 112, followed by 1,924 in 109
  • TonyJoey: 1347 kills in tour 125, 1071 in tour 172, 882 in tour 163
  • Shane: 1,289 kills in tour 39, 1,034 kills in tour 40, and 901 kills in tour 24
  • Kappa: 1,069 kills in tour 93, 1,062 kills in tour 128, 842 kills in tour 126
  • Bruv119: 885 kills in tour 64, 688 in tour 123, 565 in tour 87
  • 2cmex: 728 kills in tour 65, 709 in tour 66, and 695 in tour 172
  • Violator: 702 in tour 169, 626 in tour 175, 581 in tour 170
  • Dolby: 503 in tour 168, 474 in tour 152, 471 in tour 151
  • Drex: 486 kills in tour 15, 412 in tour 24, 396 in tour 13

Currently running stats for the Muppet pilots. It takes 30-45 minutes for each one. I'll add as I get more.

Naw, man, for one thing, there was another "shane" when I wasn't playing... here are my handles and tours... be sure to include the AVA: CT   :joystick: :airplane:


shane 14 - 71  (03/01 - 12/06)

shane08: 101 - 106  (06/08 - 11/08) This was when someone esle had shane

shane: 132 - 147  (01/11 - 03/12)

shane: 214 - 216  (11/17 - 01/18)

tdgshane: 261 -  318  (10/21 - 07/26)  shane was taken, perhaps by someone else, I didn't bother to call and ask.

Accuracy is important!  :aok  Any "shane" outside of the above listed are not me.

not sure if we can track the kills/time etc from the old DA...  :noid


 :old: :airplane: :joystick: :ahand :banana: :rofl :aok


<Also, if you're including gv kills/deaths....meh, it distorts things, as do gunner kills.>
