I never understood how some of yall can pull so many hours lol.

One job I had was only 3 days a week in the wake of the Banking collapse, it hit my area hard and it took 5 years or more to recover. I remember even my shifts changing to 5 hours a day before going to a job that was 10 hours shifts 4 days a week, gave me a heck of a lot of time to fly.

I should mention I also had Deadstik dragging me into the DA to train leaving me to with alarming regularity not sleep for 2 days. Sometimes other people's enthusiasm would keep the flying going. One of the reasons I really only tried to recruit determined people, it rubs off.

I lost my job, lost all sense of direction, became severely depressed, withdrew from the world, and signed up for Aces High. I almost became something like a hikikomori.
It’s easy to rack up 200 hours a month that way...

All my friends became druggies, I was lucky to get in the community in 8th/9th grade and make new friends. Either fly alot(back then) or end up not great.

You forgot DmonSlyr and currently Foofghtr 


Btw Im currently on a #1 fighter 3 month streak 

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

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.

I had added in DmonSlyr already. I just added in Foofghtr for you.

You've played 3,863.7 hours. Your lifetime K/D is 3.79. Kills per hour is 9.78. Total kills is 37,772.

Overall, you came in middle of the range for stats and time played.

I can make a call and have a certain someone take care of you and the #1 spot, if you'd like

Oh thank Goodness, I'm glad I'm not in the Top 10 anymore, I was embarrassed.

Not for me but for the player base.

Its too bad we cant get paid or sponsored like some of these other games. IMO our skills are just as comparable as to FPS, even more so when you cant hide behind anything.

Yeah but overall stats from that point of view are meaningless. This was the first online WW2 game I played at 15 years old and didnt care about stats and was learning ACM, Jabo, ect. I flew with a squad and did random stuff, not worrying about stats and all that. Many other guys came in with experience already from other online games. Then not playing due to being at college between 09-12 I missed some of the largest player base the game saw, which limited overall kills. When I got back in 13, the #s had tapered off. Then there is a difference between AH2 mechanics vs AH3. Reading E is much harder in AH3. The dar is easier, the kill messages to let everyone know where you are. There is also plane choice. Plane choice makes a big difference. If I wanted to come in here and fly for top everything, id just fly perked temps or F4u1cs or 4hogs ect and just dominate everyone all the time. Thats not good for the game though, probably why so many left. First 2 tours under foofghtr was all in P40s just for fun. Unfortunately the guns just dont work well and when your getting ganged and the 50s dont do any damage after putting 80 rounds in a plane, it was getting a lil frustrating. I had always wished there was a ENY metric in the scoring. It would encouraged some of these guys to fly more challenging planes in order to give some of these newbs a chance. My point is though, lifetime stats are generally meaningless unless your mission from the start was to build stats and you already had online simulation experience before coming to AH in order to curb your first few months of learning the gameplay.

I've never liked tracking my stats while flying, its a distraction from flying naturally, but not flying these days and the advent of the Stats Program and Kruels deep old dives, I guess I couldn't help myself

So I ran my mains; Dolby from Tours 129 - 301 and Cargnico 169 - 188, Excluded the throwaways

Tours    Kills       Assists   Sorties   Deaths    K/D      Flight Time
26          2777        402    1516    477        5.82        374:35:17
194         25429       4818    19421   7462    3.41    3926:59:01

I love the graph the Program has, I can see the gradual improvement I had.

My max Tour kills in a tour being 946 Total.
My max tour K/D in a tour being 14.0.

My most aircraft kills being in a 109F4 at 2461, 2nd a Me262 at 2239, then 3rd a 109K4 at 2193.

109F4 the single most fun fighter there is, ever and I'll hear no argument..

Peak performance I had on Tour 167 for Rank 3 Fighter.

Kills per Death + 1              7.09    36
Kills per Sortie                      2.38    39
Kills per Hour of Flight        8.46    73
Kills Hit Percentage              12.85    40
Kill Points                        38548.56    39

And finally the only time I got fighter Rank 1, which I owe to some top chaps in KN.

Kills per Death + 1            6.97    12
Kills per Sortie                     2.24    10
Kills per Hour of Flight        8.35    31
Kills Hit Percentage           10.87    24
Kill Points                        41604.86    5

That’s funny it was the opposite for me. I was watching TV one day around 2009 and I saw this commercial on the history channel and now I’m addicted to this crack… EVERYDAY!!!

Also, you’re all just amateurs. I could easily be the #1 pilot in any category at any time in this game if I wanted to, but all the chicks already dig me!

Same for me - saw it in 05/06-ish I believe on the Military Channel. Played on my dad's Inspiron 6000 for a while before eventually getting a PC with dedicated graphics. The rest is history.

The gondies!!! 

And yeah, it was, especially with the gondies!!

I like the graphs showing those times when I started learning a new ride and getting better in it.  Spit9 - p51d - la7 - branching off into learning the more niche rides. Also the AvA (CT) was a great place to fly the early and mid war planes; never cared for the EW or MW arenas.

I had a 5150, amazing laptop for the time.

My systems were always borderline which is why I avoided furballs where the fps were slideshows and my absences/returns were largely due to my PCs at the time.  I finally have a system that can easily handle it, now... but... yanno...

[hazmatt]

It's cool to be able to see stats cause the ranking can be so easily gamed. I remember guys that would have one or two fighter missions and one or two bomber missions and one or two gv missions for the whole camp and would come up in the top ten ranking for both bombers and fighters and maybe top 20 for gvs.

They would get a bomber and bomb towns, rearm, bomb more towns until they had a massive score and maybe do one base capture with a c47. For the fighter score they would do something like up a f4uc from a cv that was near an enemy base that was about to be captured and vulch to get their fighter rank up. For the gv stats they would take a rocket tank and destroy a town.

Those three things with no deaths could really boost your ranking enough that you could just fly attack the whole camp and you'd end up with a really good ranking.

Article in pcgamer had me check it out and dropped into the beta but went back to fighter ace as the planes looked like just dots compared to fa..

Changes to fa sent me back here since..

Glad some find such personal achievement in a video game and feel the need to share it ..
