What do you see? What can be inferred?


That's easy, if you didn't fly until you died and ran for the ditches as SOP like the other pilot your K/D would be some much better.

Also there is more competition and more  numerous capable pilots, the scores are very similar but yours are notably lower in the rankings, KPS KHP.

And you like Disco more... to me it never died

I don't think you've spent anywhere near enough time on this game to even come close to the "most deaths" top spot  :)

I remember, back in the day Midway would have ~500 registered deaths per tour on average...

What do you see? What can be inferred? Bear in mind, pretty differing flying styles.


The biggest difference in your screenshot?

Most of your kills were in an LA-7. Most of Skyyr's (744) were in a midwar 190A5, with another 84 in a 109G2 and a Mossie. Go check for yourself. :rofl

He outperformed you flying midwar aircraft while you flew a 5ENY LA7  :ahand

Oh, so context is relevant?  Let me put this out there, then, again.  Solo vs having buddies be bait and/or saving him.

TBF, Levi and other "names" often flew with skwaddies, so there's that, but... they also could handle themselves 1 v 1 better across the board, imo.  Grizz and Skyyr were similar in regard to being about the kill, but Grizz was also capable of fun, especially earlier on in his career.

Also, this. Looking at tour 219 stats where you claim Rusyn "broke the scoring" - they kind of are mediocre. Even the majority of his fighter kills were in a,  :noid , la7  :rofl  and the 2.3 k/d in the ride is... mediocre.

I agree, any K/D in the 2's or below is mediocre, regardless of the reason or context  :aok

No.

It's a game brosef. No one's going to remember a legacy in a game, outside of objective metrics. Even if they did, almost no one will remember or care about a game this small. It's a microcosm of a microcosm.

That's why spending 10,000 or more hours in a game like this is kind of weird to me, unless you're going to do something objectively measurable. You do you boo.

Peddling stats for a dude who is banned from this game is kind of weird too. You and the other cronies may worship him on a pedestal, but for the rest of the community, he's just a guy who cheated, got banned, was given a second chance, and got banned again. Sort of a shame because he was a really good player, but that's how legacy goes sometimes.

I'm not peddling stats for anyone, I'm simply running every game ID I can and listing the top 10 kill records for tours. If you know of something who can rank higher, post the IDs and I'll add/adjust them. If you wanna knock Skyyr or anyone out of the top positions, send me the IDs. I didn't even start this thread, I started running stats out of curiosity of hearing about all of the old "greats" and how they must have gotten many more kills than XYZ player.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

It has been proven that Skyyr used nefarious methods such that he was banned not once, but twice.

Yes banned twice for shadey schit

There is no way to verify that his score is fully legitimate and therefore knocked off the top spot.

I didn't need other players to knock him off, all I need is him.

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.

You forgot DmonSlyr and currently Foofghtr  :aok


Btw Im currently on a #1 fighter 3 month streak  :banana:

However Atlau is now back now to ruin me like he did back in 2013  :rofl

Id be one of the lowest times played overall given i usually pull between 5-20 hours a month on avg now, though it does add up over time. I never understood how some of yall can pull so many hours lol.
