Kill streak scores request

In fact, IIRC, somebody started teasing him in the buffer about it and he finally admitted he was in the volcano. I seem to remember him getting credit for over 200 kills by then.

So he did it. I think he even admitted somewhere here on the BBS that he exploited the bug.

Although, of course, he also claims he has a "legitimate" streak of considerable length.

My most memorable encounter with him was when once saw a higher 109 engaged with a friendly and headed that way, climbing to the fight. This was one of the rare times I was in a 109.

Down goes the friendly, text buffer immediately shows a kill by Fishu.

By now I'm about con range and just a bit below. I figure this higher 109 has to be Fishu and he'll be coming for me.

Wrong. He leaves and I chase. There's no one else around, so I ask him on buffer to engage. He says he's low on fuel, low on ammo, his dog is scratchin at the door, the pizza man just showed up, etc.

I chase him nearly two sectors in a 109. Now I'm low on fuel, still below him and can't catch him. I turn around; sure enough, here he comes. I turn into him: sure enough, there he goes again.

Never could get him to engage dcespite the fact that he was above me the whole sortie. Wasted a tank of electronic internet gas on that sortie.

The other thing I remember is the night he tried to tell everyone in the arena that trim tabs work differently on high horsepower aircraft than they do on low horsepower aircraft.

When I played Warbirds several years ago the kill message appearing in the text buffer indicated how many consecutive kills you achieve without losing your plane. so if you got 3 kill, landed and went to bed, the next kill you got showed up as kill 4. That made the game real fun IMHO. Sure wish AH worked the same way :(

I think that whenever somebody beats the existing kill streak, that new record should be e-mailed out to every AH account holder so everybody can learn of the glorious deed.  ;)

Actually I do not care if Fishu did it fair, or he alt-4 and exploited vulcano bug :) He set some result which is interesting to try to beat.

yes im of the same opinion fariz.

its not really fishu we are interested in.
its the challenge of streaking that far. and the chance to do it more than just one time every tour (although I dont mind once a tour if that one streak can be recorded)

beta was easier to get kills in and rtb.
it simply was not as perilous in beta as it is in ah now. the players are across the board quite good and very dangerous now. they will not forgive your mistakes.

this makes flying in the same style as russian and german lone wolf pilots quite an exciting challenge when you've killed everything else under the sun in furballs, missions and kamikazi sorties.

their only mission was to get kills and return alive

every few tours I try to do this at the start of a new tour just to see how far I can get.
and I must say its quite exciting to face the simple odds that say for every kill the probability of being shot down is more and more likely.
Fester was my in game name until September 2013

Very true, it's not the same game.  A "good" player now would have been a holy terror flying the same way in the beta days.  Also bugs were abound, so many weird things happened.  
Besides, I have my doubts about Fishus record.
In Bets Tour 2, no one was credited with shooting him down, but his stats say:

Personally, I hold Fester's streak as the record.

best streak was a few tours ago in a p51d eskimo, 152 kills. i died fighting an la7 at 20k :) found out after he had only fuel vapors left while I tried to foolishly fight him with a full load of internal fuel. he blew off my vert stab as i crossed his path after we stalled :D

so now i never underestimate an la7 at high altitude because they are always flying on fumes :D

Streaks in WB

Bails or ditches in friendly territory do no end a streak.

So you can "game" it by staying on your own side.

In the "game",  while not historical, a bail IMO should end a streak. Ditch in friendly territory should not be penalized.

You bail, you lose.

That would put more butts on the runway.

In general I'm not a huge fan of importing things from WB into AH, but the kill streak was one element that was a lot of fun.  It did seem to have the effect of making people want to stay alive (Turbot mentioned this), because there was a substantial score multiplier as your streak grew (and that would be even more of an incentive here where perk points are a factor)--might make people think twice about the suicide dive onto a CV (and then again, probably not!).  And on the third hand, it will ramp up the decibel level of the whining considerably.  Imagine the text buffer when someone on his 14th kill has just been HOed!

Fair is fair.

If you want a streak counter then accept a target over your plane.  Once your streak gets bigger so does the target.  

Let the whole dang arena know, this guy is a streaker and shoot him in the ass!

Beta was buggy. You had a bug which would kill you when you pressed .fly button, for example.

OTOH, if you die but the enemy who shot you before goes down sooner, he doesn't get the kill. This is still here ;).

please forgive this ignorant...

I think I understand what a kill streak is but... I don't get why it isn't the way Fariz is requesting it to be (the system to keep track of it)... kinda confused... am I missing out on something?

Yep, and combination with added name tags to the plane ID will be extra fun, :D

Muuuhahahahaha
