Wow!

 Never realized Panzers were that much popular!!

HiTech,
 thanks but wasn't after the kill/deaths, but total plane sorites as you posted on the Enough is enough thread.

From what I see anyone who says the lala should be prked for killing people is wrong, just a greater number.  The Dora has a bigger number between sorties and kills.

You can make some interesting observations by looking at that list.

First, while it see's a lot of use, the La7's kill to death ratio is not that astounding.

La-7       25045 deaths to 31833 Kills.

F4u-1c, shows instantly why it was perked, indeed, it could be perked higher yet.

F4U-1C   4414 deaths and  10623 kills.
Thats pretty good odds for a perk plane.

Ta 152H                267          500
Another perk plane, still pretty good odds. Best leave it where it is I think.

Me 163B                278         1210
Whoa, HT how about doubling the perk on these bad boys!

Ok now the unperked favorites.
La-7       25045 deaths to 31833 Kills.

Fw 190D-9             7752        11598
La7 sees more use but look at the kills the dora racks up!!!  Can anyone say 3 or 4 point perk for the Dora?


Typhoon IB           13542        20175
Bf 109G-10           10371        15212
Both of these do very nicely indeed. You can see why you see a lot of them.

N1K2                 23825        27576
Spitfire V           20473        20563

The last of the highly used planes. Pretty well balanced.

There it is folks, the next time I see a la7 whine I'm starting a revolution to perk the dora. Its WAY worse than the poor la-7.

The difference between the La7 and the Dora is the majority of La7s at least try to fight. The D9 makes that 'one pass, and haul a**'.

I do believe a important part of the equation is not seen on paper in black and white.  How are these 2 planes used.

  F4u-1c's are not seen used in base defence mode, because of perkies, and the possible loss of many perks quick.

La7's are the plane of choice on a base defence, they are used like a rented car.  No perk loss no no big deal to get killed just reupp another. This would skew the kill to death ratio, making it look worse for the La7.

The f4u1c lives off field cap,(probably trying to vulch an la7) helping boost its score.

A stat like Avg. flight time for each plane, might help indicate whats really going on.

My problem is the amount of them in the air, you fly into a enemy base and out of first 10 planes ya see at least 5 will be La7.

and xnay on the perk increase for the 1c will ya.

Kev I have never posted total sorties because we do not track that number, I had just posted total kills previously. You have always assumed that = sorties, but it dosn't, deaths are more representive of sortie count than kills are.

If you wish to make the % table just cut & paste the data to a spread sheet.

Did the Spit 9 really have less kills than the Spit I last tour?  

That seems... amazing.

Ah I see,
I actually assumed that the last lot you posted were actual sorties flown.
Yeah deaths are more representative, but still don't give an accurate view of exactly how many sorties (plane usage) were flown.

Thanks for taking the time.

LOL almost got me too, that 1st Spitfire Mk I is for the Spitfire Mk IX, if you notice its truncated after the I  ;)  The real Spitfire Mk I only had 200 odd kills.

Some more info from the same table (only fighters). When comparing the kills and ENY -values, it seems that some planes, notably Typhoon, P-38J, Seafire and Bf109-G10 seem to have too high ENY -values.
Most early war planes, as well as Yak-9T, Ki-61 and 190F-8 have too low ENY.

Actually a complete revision of the ENY values and perk cost was something I think that should have been done when the ENY limiter was introduced.
Be better if you could sort your charts by K/D ratio, easier to read then.

Proves one thing, the Spit 14 is nowhere near worth its perk cost.

Hey HT

Does a formation of Buffs count as 1 death or three for the table you posted ?

Each buff = 1 kill.
Therefore 3 = 3 kills.

Unfortuneately 'deaths' doesn't give a clear indication of plane usage which is what I was after.

That's especially true with a plane like the Lgay7. Lgay's have limited fuel and ammunition relative to most other planes in the set. Lgays are also harder to kill due to their speed and small size relative to other planes (pilot notwithstanding). Because of these factors they are actually under-represented statistically by kill/death stats. They kill less and die less on average per sortie used.

Planes like the niki with huge range and ammoload which are relatively easy to kill because they are slow and larger are over-represented by kill/death stats relative to the numbers flown. It is because of these factors that, as we are saying, there are a disproportionately high number of Lgay7s relative to other planes in the set in the MA. Much more than kill/death stats may indicate.

For example it may take 5 Niki's to get 10 kills and 4 of them are likely to die in the process. But, it will take 9 or 10 Lgay's to get the same 10 kills and perhaps only 1 or 2 of them dies in the process. On your chart the Niki is actually more represented statistically in this scenario, but in actual fact,  in the MA,  in the fights the Lgay outnumbers the Niki (or any other plane) 2 to 1. Thus the problem. You may look at the above scenario and say well that's fine from a kill/death perspective the lgay7 isn't killing as many as the niki, but that is false. It is false in that the lgay pilot with be flying at least 2 sorties for every one of the niki, ever taking into consideration more lgay's are living therefore rtb'ing, by virtue of it's speed, acceleration and climbrate further exacerabting the lgay7 plurality crisis.

Variety is the spice of life and of AH, the over-predominance of the lgay7 is rapidly eroding that facet of AH's appeal, spend a few nights in the MA during prime-time and you'll figure it out really fast, HiTech, it ain't subtle...

U guys have to remember to.  The Perked planes are ususally flown by pilots who know what they are doing and therefore will have a better K/D ratio.

Your argument dosn't suport that conclusion Zazen. If the average sortie time is shorter(your argument),then if one compairs the number of La7s in the air at any one time as a % of the total planes in the air, that % would be lower than it would if it had a longer sortie time.

For those who remember, the F4U-1C was perked shortly after it passed 20% total usage.  The LA7 doesn't look like it's anywhere close to that.  As a counter-argument, however, one could point out that the plane set was quite a bit smaller back then.

Wow.. P-51D used to be in the top 5 for total kills. Notice now, since the new gunnery model, all the top killers are cannon-armed planes. The usage of the P-51D may have dropped some, because players may not like not being able to kill stuff now, but I bet its still heavily used regardless.

IMO, this really shows that cannon-armed aircraft have an advantage that is increased by the fact that flight controls and engine management are simplified...

Never noticed that till you pointed it out midnight, you can take the top 2 MG only planes and add them together and get the number 3 plane in kills.  I seldom take up a MG only planes, and it's usually a Hurri I or Spit I.

Makes one think....

But we all know what planes are likely to be found at what altitude at which bases under what conditions. If you fly to a 500 ' AGL furball at, or on the way to, an enemy base 20 miles away, what are you likely to see?

If you have chosen to go there, you also have the entire plane set at your fingertips. You may choose any plane and fly it from any field in any way you see fit. If your idea of fair is that you should have the right to always land 5 kills from a sortie into that scenario, then I think that's wrong.

The LA-7 is an interceptor and it is supposed to be used in that scenario of game play. If you choose not to fly it and wish to challenge yourself to survive in a swarm of them doing what they were designed to do - repel a swarm of invaders - then you have to fly where and how they can't kill you. I know this sounds ridiculously simple, but it really is that simple, at least to me. Up an La-7, Tempest or 262 and go kill all of them That's why you have perk points - because you were good enough to earn and keep them. If you don't have enough perk points, then you might need to ask yourself why that is. Or fly something else in a different way or at a different location.

I just don't see it as being a problem.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see the problem with LA-7's. I hardly ever fly them and when I encounter them they die or kill me just as easily as any other ride.
Yeah, I'd like to see more early-mid war rides in the MA too but it's not going to happen on its own and trying to force it would just frustrate people and make the MA a much less pleasant experience for everyone.
People will fly what their level of confidence allows them to fly and that means the preponderance of players are going to be in the high-performance aircraft. Same thing applies to the tactics that people use: if all they don't have the confidence to mix it up they'll use what tactics do work for them. If that means HO and run, then that's what they'll do. If you  find the "HO and run" personally offensive, then offer to take the guy into the TA or DA and teach him some "cool moves", or show them how to make you're personal fave pay in the game. Most likely both of you will benefit from the experience.

Ummm no, because as we have asserted more people actually fly lgay7's relative to any other plane, and fly them almost in total exclusion to any other aircraft. So, as soon as the lgay7 pilot lands he immediately re-ups another lgay7.

Well, obviously having the sortie #'s would be more precise, but I think it is possible to get a decent estimate of usage by looking at the kill/death numbers.

Whoa, HT how about doubling the perk on these bad boys!

Ok now the unperked favorites.
La-7       25045 deaths to 31833 Kills.

Fw 190D-9             7752        11598
La7 sees more use but look at the kills the dora racks up!!!  Can anyone say 3 or 4 point perk for the Dora?

There it is folks, the next time I see a la7 whine I'm starting a revolution to perk the dora. Its WAY worse than the poor la-7.



Ghosth the fact that the Ta152 has got a near 2-1 in kill/death is that it is a perk plane, one almost only flown by experienced pilots. As it is a perk plane it is flown in a more carefull way. Kill Death is not a good way to messure wether it should be perked or not. This is a plane that would see little or any more use if unperked.

Same thing goes for the D9 vs LA7 discussion. A for higher number of experienced pilots fly the Dora then there are experienced pilots who fly the La7. The La7 is, wether one likes it or not, a newbie plane (meaning that mostly newbies fly it, although some experienced pilots do it aswell).

Put an La7 vs a Dora in a fight with equal pilots and the La7 holds every single advantage.

It's the pilot not the plane that makes the difference here...

That's an assumtion that you don't have any hard evidence to back it up. I am sure there have been nights when you have killed the same guy in his LA7 over and over but that does not reflect on the populatuin as a whole.

I don't see large hoards of LA7s when I'm on-line, Prime-Time Eastern. Sure they are out there but not in adverse numbers.

If you see mutiple LA7s defending a field you are attacking then you have nothing to complain about because they are using the plane exactly the way it was intended.

I agree with Clifra.

When you up in an La7 (I refuse to call them L-Gays, but I will belittle the pilots) 3 times in 30 minutes but up a Nik or whatever once in 30 minutes that skews the results. It's the % of the La7s up at any one given time - and they are, in part, being flown as they were in RL.

It's like my philosophy with women...two 5s make a 10. That's why I beleive in a womans right to choose...paper or plastic (for the bag over her head). I also fully support gay marriage, as long as both chicks are hot!:p
