Pulled them again using your names provided and tours - it really didn't change much. Biggest change is your gameplay time basically went up almost 80% and your kills went up 25% or so. Your other stats stayed the same or went down.

Stats only give some insight, not the full picture.
Context - I flew solo, not skawd-assisted, on the lemming path between bases, often vs multiples
with no help coming to save me - rarely did I skawd furball like many of the "hot sticks."
I'll even be the first to acknowledge that my gunnery has always been my weak spot, but... the reason I keep getting mentions is my flying (and helping others get better.) I've also generally scored as attack since I very much did jabo stuff where many hot sticks found themselves to be above moving mud.
Yeah, I've beat and been beat by the top sticks, but like Mr. Sinatra, I did it my way.
And even at less than 1/2 my prior motivated flying skills during my peak 20 years ago, I'm still able to take down weebz like Skyyr.
Stats are fun, in their own way, but not very good as a comparative tool between players; even the DA is only part of the overall picture - "any given sunday."
It really comes down to what one is remembered for. You cannot time-wash Skyyr's actions that have given him a less than stellar legacy.
"For when the One Great Scorer
comes to mark against your name,
He writes—not that you won or lost—
but how you played the game."
