When the campaign first start, have anyone ever push their luck and see how many kills they get before finally get shot down? I've tried it and got to 50kills before my first death. Though, after the first death I just didn't care enough to fly carefully anymore and just suicide a lot.
-
My best was 48 in the 109K-4 until I collided with a bomber drone.
-
It's fun trying to not die on the first life ya get in the campaign right Gava, and it's sure as hell difficult trying not to die on that first life!
-
I always try to not die. Why would it make any difference when the Tour first starts?
By the way, even though I try to not die, I do it often enough to be really good at it. :lol
-
75...Oh wait, I thought this was the death before 1st kill post. Srry.

Well that first life is where I'd run and stuff if I have to while trying NOT to die!
-
I usually manage 2-3 kills before I die, and I don't usually land them either.
-
I ran off 108 at the start of a tour once... then got shot down by a 234.... yup a 234.
-
66 or 68 can't remember, that was in a F4U. Of course the first death i got cocky and did something stupid.
-
I think my record was being killed at least 42 times before I caused a death. :rofl
-
Eeeeerm.....none, I generally die way before I get to kill anyone else..... :D

-
Somewere around 50 if i remember correctly
-
I always try not to die. I hate getting shot down. When I go up, I'm up to get kills and bring them home again.
However I also tend to be a little aggressive and keep pushing for them.. As a result, I usually end up ending a kill streak with something incredibly ridiculous (not of my making). It was either this or last tour while harassing four F6Fs and an F4U-1 with a squaddie in a pair of 4-Hogs that I bought it when diving on the -1, and the birdcage pulled up at the last minute. RIGHT INTO ME. We both took the collision nose-on, and there was nothing I could do to avoid it. Similar thing happened while toying with a Spit in my 1A. This past Saturday I was making passes on a formation of Ju-88s. Had one drone down, the leader smoking, and as I made a close pass the remaining drone warped right through my plane and took my wing off with a collision.
My best was I think 28. Before dying in some similarly unbelievable fashion.
-
Shawk has the record of 186 kills no deaths no ditches. Also he did this in a 190d.. BTW his kills per hours were very high.
I never had the dedication to go for a tour record but my best was one flight in a tempest. 54 kills no vulches with 3 rearms... I do have film of the last 1/2 of that flight..

my best is 3 deaths before my first kill :rofl

Does killing trees count?

i know shawk is a good pilot.....but.........
in a 190, having 186 kills without a death, i have to imagine he was hovering over furballs and picking around the edges :noid

He probably was but no matter, IMHO. You have to do a lot of things right, and have some luck as well to run off 186 without an incident. That's a big streak for a non perk ride, regardless of the circumstances, IMHO.*
* This of course with the exception of someone who ran a streak up the Dextur-yourfup way.
-

That's what you get for tailgating Steve. ;)
-
I had 102, 112 or 152 in a spit14 years ago when the spit14 icon would show at 6k. I can't remember which of those figures is correct, but one of them is.

68. Last tour. Mostly in F4U4.
...then I ripped the wings off a 262 going after another 262. :mad:
-
I think majority of my kills are from flying 190s and 109s. If I hop onto a Tempest or an F4U-4, my survival rate would go a lot higher. There's no point in flying something I don't like though. :)

After spending most of your time in 109's, just about everything is easy mode.
The biggest problem is making the transition from 2-3 round tater bursts at D200 to laying carpets of .50 at D600.
-
33 in the Mosquito Mk VI.
Streak ended when I collided with a Spitfire Mk IX and tore my port wing off. I was being over agressive on it, trying for a gun solution. I should have just gone vertical and killed him on the next pass.
-
I know Fester has had some insane runs.
-
Yep, the biggest challange I have is the 190's 20mm v. the K4's 30mm and the ally 50 cals. I feel comfortable with the 190's 20mm enough to where most of my kills in 190 are 10-20 20mm fired. I know in my head at a certain angle, and at a certain distance all I need is a .5-1 sec burst to take down a target.
In K-4 I know it usually just 1 tater, but the problem is adjusting the aiming from 20mm to 30mm. The same goes for 50 cals. Since most of the time my comfortable zone is 200m before I open fire, the 50 cals doesn't seems to do enough damage at 1 sec burst to take the enemy down. That and its balistic is different so I have a hard time knowing where to put the piper to lead the shot.
The max I've done in a 190D9 without rearming is 26 kills and about 10 assist, when I land I had 0 ammo and like 1% fuel. In the 51s and F4U I can never get anywhere close to that. Usually I'd get about 10-12 and I'd go bingo totally empty. In 190s I usually have 250 cannon rounds left by the 10th target down, give or take 50 rounds. That's why I found it hard to fly a different plane because I know it will mess up my aiming and comfort zone w/ the 190s and 109s. Well that and the fact I've been a 190 fan since AW1 =)
-
In AW I got 543 kills before my first death, I augered. That camp I never actually got shot down by a person, my K/D was like 133 to 1...In AH, my highest was 97 kills before I got killed by a bomber's defensive fire. AH is way harder to keep a killstreak going as there's collisions, HO's, synced buff formation lasers, much more and effective AA in various forms, etc. Anyone who kills 100+ without dying and can keep a decent K/T is deserving of a medal of some sort, that's no easy feat in any plane as bad luck alone is going to kill you eventually.

The first time I read that AW didn't have collisions and reduced the effectiveness of HO shots I was in disbelief...talk about training wheels. :rolleyes:

i used to fly RR euro in AW. never even knew i could look at my k/d ratio anywhere there. i just went up, flew, fought, died, killed, and bombed.
biggest thing i remember not liking was how easy it was to kill or be killed in a p38 due to the " hit bubble".
biggest thing i likes was that if i entered a 1-1 or a 1-2 or whatever, the fight normally ended up that way. no hotards, but all god fights. some of the best i remember were with rocky.
dam i loved flying against him, and tuefl.
-

That is impressive in both respects! :)
-

Well, not having HO's actually made fights more interesting IMHO. But, the reason for no HO's or collisions was largely technologically. Back then people were using 1200-9600 baud modems with an average delay 10 times what we have now.. So, it was kind of impractical to have that kind of thing. You just think the collision model seems flawed in AH sometimes, imagine how it would have seemed back then. :O
-
I forgotten what my best was but it was way up there and I got tired of it. Im pretty sure if I tried hard I could manage a 50-60 k/d every tour. Its always something stupid that gets you killed doing things like this like fleet ack or a disco.
-
I usually manage 2-3 kills before I die, and I don't usually land them either.
yep.. same here
-
I know Fester has had some insane runs.
Yea I know when I first joined the Muppets he was on a run like that in his K4. I think he was upwards of around 130 or somewhere around there before someone got a kill on him. For some reason though I thought the record was closer to 250 not 170ish.
I don't ever have to worry about my K:D because undoubetly the first few days of the tour I manage to fly my absolute worst. I'm always in the can't hit nothing and auger chasing a numbers guy mode the first two days.. :lol
-
I never thought of seeing how far i could get without being killed and never rearm unless ord is out.
I'll fight till dead or outta fuel/ammo. I get nervous when cannon gone and RTB if i can.
I have run from a fight or two... usually when incoming enemy out #'s any chance of my survival, can't lose / find solution for zeke or high alt B&Z'er holding me up for incoming
5-7 kills in a spit-8 not uncommon. My personal best without reload was 10
12 in a Nik fighting alone
8 in a Ki near a CV
6 in an F4u Winging
Those are the ones I remember anyway. I fly a long list of planes.
-
i know shawk is a good pilot.....but.........
in a 190, having 186 kills without a death, i have to imagine he was hovering over furballs and picking around the edges :noid
Wrong, he was in the thick of it. I cleared his tail, he put "his goal" on the back burner a few times and cleared me.
-
My fav was me an Troche, on one day when the knit horde was steam rolling bish bases, me, him, and 3 others got into P-51s and held one base against 30+ knits for almost 15 minutes.
-

that sounds correct....and i wasn't even there..... (prays for brownie points from the CO :pray)
-
I'm not sure if you mean on one sortie. Otherwise I think my best is 36 and I never died (In spite of myself). Luckiest camp I ever had. It was camp 98.
-
I had 102, 112 or 152 in a spit14 years ago when the spit14 icon would show at 6k. I can't remember which of those figures is correct, but one of them is.
wasn't the spit14 added last year? :noid ... and i've only been able to manage 17 before i died, mainly cuz i try to help win the war instead of worrying about that thing called "rank" :lol :salute to the ones who fly beside me with the same idea. Pulled off a pnzr run of 49 (only 1/2 were camps) always die before the landings though..I get too eager to get that extra kill
-
wasn't the spit14 added last year :noid
Spit 14 has been around for a loooong time. Last Spit added was 16, about 3 years ago.
And on topic, got 140 until I misjudged E state of a 109K4 and a tater took of my Tempest's tail. It was more a relief than an annoyance though...
-
wow....where have i been??? oh yeah, i dont remember... find my short bus!!! :rolleyes:
-
I usually die before scoring a kill. I usually dive in and fly around until I die... which doesn't take long in many circumstances. :)
-
I'm currently 45/0 flying the A-20G, with about a 50-50 mix of aircraft and armored vehicles. Getting in and out of a furball with my hair can be an adventure...
My regards,
Widewing
-
I fly everything, (mainly p38's and mossies though ;)) And get about 2 kill's a sortie. Longest was about....
dunno 22 or something like that. Really dont care If I die though, I will fight until no fuel, no ammo and no engine. (I never run either :)) I think its more fun If you die :devil

i bet i could learn some stuff from ya, although i don't fly the A20 im a hurri lover,
well <S> on nyour run
my best with out dieing is 9, being out numbered as usual.
-
My best kill streak was ninety something in fighter mode to 0 deaths. Cant remember how i died tho.
-
I ran off a streak of 55 kills in a 38 this tour before failing to rope a Yak9T :mad: My P38 "zen" is apparently spent though since I haven't been able to string more than 26 since and last 10 sorties in it barely 1:1 k/d w <40% survival rate. Go figure...
Last tour got 47 mostly in a P47
Previous month was 39 in F6F
It seems to me that two keys to survival are constantly looking around followed by listening to that little voice saying "Dude, there's 26 of them bish the other Knit is on fire!"

all done is a K4 from what i remember
Thanks come again :D

Nope, i was there. BiPolar is right fester had 231 kills to no death in fighter mode. Must of been about 5-6 months ago.
-
I just have one question. How the h@ll do you guys do that? I find either I'm in a mini hoard and have to compete for kills or I'm alone against a hoard and die fighting or I'm in a remote area picking off other loners which kills K/H.
Oh well, it doesn't matter, after years of practice I have the mistake tuned to a fine art (auger, unintentional ram, snapped wing, etc., etc., etc.).
-
is 231 the target then?
will give me something to do next month :D But wait i promised myself to never fly a temp again!

K4 only Bruv. :aok

231 is the target. Time to warm up the D-9 !
-
Kills per Death + 1 115.00 1
Kills per Sortie 3.59 25
Kills per Hour of Flight 8.96 193
Kills Hit Percentage 17.35 22
Kill Points 38379.00 174
That was the best tour i could see for Fester.. I am at work so I cant spend to much time on looking it up. Could someone please show me the tour he did this so we have good number.
-
He did fly it pretty carefully though.
"Kills per Sortie 3.59 25
Kills per Hour of Flight 8.96 193"
I guess that's the main thing, is to be careful and have a high SA.
-
231 is the target. Time to warm up the D-9 !
352 is the target.

Oh god 352, you mean Erich Hartmann? He got shot down 16 times, well include ditch, bailed, capture etc.

I dont remember Fes getting over 180 or so, but he could have. The record is from beta and the fella had like 190+ kills and zero deaths for the whole tour.
-
Back in AH1 (or was it beta), didn't Fishu have something close to 280 kills to 0 deaths in a 190A-8?

Fishu is who I was talking about, and noone has beaten his record.

Fishu's was due to a bug, not legit kills.

I've seen lazer go into the hundreds and I think I saw citbria (can't think of his other name) at like 500 something before he was killed one tour.
I was flying with Lazer when he was at 100 something and the vox was hilarious.
I don't have the time or patenience to let dying get in my way of fun. You have to fly amazingly timid to avoid getting ganged anywhere.
-
I, as a few of my squaddies so eloquently put it is that I, “John Wayne it” when I get to a fight :) So usually I will get around 4-5 kills before I die.
I gave up on keeping my score up to par along time ago. This doesn’t mean that I do not try to fly smart, I just like to have fun and it has deemed less stressful, I get enough stress in real life.
-

will give me something to do next month :D But wait i promised myself to never fly a temp again!
You arent the only one. I've spoiled myself on updated planes so much, I wont fly the Temp or Typhy...
-
^_^ we need some ground rule for this. Like No Perkie plane or something. Should be an interesting lil goal since you can only do it once a month and til the first death!

There are some rules that have been accepted: no ditches, or discos. The disco one is a bummer.. I've lost a couple of nice streaks, in the 80's, to discos. Then again, I had my longest streak ended by a 234 so I'm an unlucky tard.
Currently there is no "rule" against perk planes but doing it in as perk plane would cause an asterik to be next to a new record, IMHO. However, FX1 had a nice streak in a Tempest once that was pretty darned impressive because it was in one flight. I know he posted it already.. 50 something. I was in his squad at the time and towards the end some of us were in the area to help him but he didn't need it. The way I remember it, we spent more time staying out of the way than anything else. WTG FX
-
We should really have a Wall of Fame for kills before first Death, or we can go kills in a certain plane before shotdown. Set some ground rule for it. I think it would be fun. Killing stuff is easy, dying is pretty easy, but staying alive after # of sorties is hard, the odds just stack up so much =/.

Feel free... long kill streaks are not that fun though. Towards the end of my longest one, a few people were looking for me. And thinking about staying alive above all else was a little stressful and not as fun as getting in there and mixing it up. Also, if you run off 200 kills but only have like 5 kills per hour.. I doubt very many people would be all that impressed..... no offense.
-
I once got killed while my engine was still warming up. OH wait...was this the fastest death post?
:aok
-
Fishu's was due to a bug, not legit kills.
No it was not a bug. Fushu was the best player in AH. The were many strong sticks those days like Hristo, Torque, Mitsu, Fariz, Tbolt, Vila and lots more, but Fishu was the best. Just check his score in beta tour 2. An believe me the flight model in AH beta was much tougher than it is now.

I'm not saying Fishu wasn't the absolute God of AH. I never impugned his 733tness so you can rest easy at night.
Fishu's streak was a result of the volcano bug.
-
first sortie of a new tour i would always fly into the biggest red mass i could find and make sure i dont get out, stopped me getting any foolish ideas.

I usually manage 2-3 kills before I die, and I don't usually land them either.
yea same, on average 2-3 kills, but rarely land em lol, cause i dont head back till friendlys r safe

Easy to fix that? just make sure to qualify or for it to count, ya gotta have at least 10 kill per hours w/ all those kill=)
-
Every time I tried that, I got picked off by flak from some base I couldn't even see. I might give it a shot when I get back flying again in a couple of months, but I expect I'll still die from some flak that's beyond ground visual range while I'm motoring from one fight to another.

then you get what you were doing the last 5 or so tours, looking only for hordes that are sure to devolp into vulchfests. Doesn't matter who attains it, it's how it is attained that will be most important. :aok
-
Flying for stats has to be one of the most boring ways to play the game. Whether it's K/D,K/H number of kills what ever. Seeing someone with high stats and all they fly is top tier or perk rides doesn't earn a Salute compared to seeing someone fly and land kills on a regular basis in a high eny ride. And that's without resorting to the usual dweeb tactics of hanging around and picking over enemy fields let alone vulching.
At times this game reminds me of the early days playing Deathmatch, you'd die more and get less kills with the chainsaw but you'd be in hysterics trying to chase people down with it.

Fester had 231 without 1 death till i whacked him

^_^ but i suck at vulching. I waste average of 50 rounds per kill on vulching while 20 rounds fer air to air kill!!

I'd never be able to compete. I've been discoing about once a night at least lately. :cry
-
I wouldn't compete. If I started a long streak I would be more inclined to try to survive rather than kill bad guys and have fun. The times I have run off a streak have been by chance, not design. Good luck to everyone who tries! :aok

You killed me the other night and I'm a GOOD guy.

You certainly are! I remember seeing your name on the screen but don't remember the circumstances. No doubt you went down heroically?

Nah... you picked me while I was tied up on the deck with someone else. It was my own fault though. I had seen you hovering around up there and simply chose to ignore you thinking I'd finish off the guy on the deck quicker than I was able to.

You mean I cleared his 6? Picked? Bah! :lol
That's something to love about this game. One minute you are dictating the fight, the next some guys come in, take initiative from you, and you are defensive. You struggle to get the upper hand, fighting from a disadvantage. If you win, it's thrilling and quite satisfying. If you lose, you probably still had fun. Ch 200 whines are optional.

and you have time to type this??? :rofl :rofl :rofl give me a vid of this and i'll believe it
LOL...
1) WW is an exceptionally good stick
2) 1 on 1 the A-20 is perfectly capable of defeating anything it runs into
I dont have the ability to run those kinds of streaks in any plane but I can pull of an exceptional sortie or two from time to time. My best in the A-20 (all air to air) is 11 landed/14 KIA and I've run streaks of 25+ a half dozen times in the A-20 (multiple hops).

I remember fighting your a20 once. I had some E over you and it took me what seemed like 10 minutes to kill you. Was funny. a guy was closer to you than me.. he said "I'll get the a20" You were the only con in the area so I turned towards you as well, at icon range. Before I got halfway there, you had dispatched the guy to the tower. I can't help but chuckle when I think of that guy, sitting in the tower and scratching his head, "Wha?"

The Havoc along with the B25H are two that definetly can give you a rude shock with a capable stick at the controls. Had it happen more than once :O

Ditto on the by chance.
Here's an idea. Lets post who has the longest streak and go hunt that picker down. :rofl :rofl

I've never once felt that I needed to hide behind the plane I happened to choose. More often then not the guy who kills me one on one is a good stick...regardless of our respective planes. Your as likely to stomp on my butt pony to pony as pony vs A-20. In fact there are times I feel I have a better chance in an A-20 against someone like you since its hard to really know the limits on the A-20 if you dont know who's driving it. Sometimes one or the other has the initiative and there for some measure of control...but its rare for a good stick to be defeated by a single combination or snapshot (it does of course happen) even when engaging from a disadvantage...most of the time a good stick will put up a good fight and force an endgame of some kind before going down.
Most guys still see the A-20 as a target instead of a threat, if an A-20 is in a +E/+alt state relative to a con its a chainsaw attack waiting to happen :D :salute

Didn't Fester have 200 k/d or something? Then like left the game for a month when he died?

There is a difference between clearing someones six and jumping in on a 1v1 for a pick. Both of course have in common that your getting an easy kill, given slightly harder then a vulch but not much. Big messy furball and your clearing someones six fair enough, coming across a 1v1 and you drop in for a easy pick is cheap. Especially if you have a rough idea who the con is, and that happens a lot when flying off peek.
If it's a known pilot I even let them rtb if they are on the deck and low on E simply because I have no interest in a easy kill on someone I know. Now if I see a certain Pony around I won't, simply because I still owe you for the cheap pick you did on me few days back when I was mixed up vs four and had just killed the 2nd con. :D

No, your still a twit. But now with the usual muppet ego attached. :D

I'm sure it wasn't a 1v1 when I killed BE. It was probably with multiple planes from both sides. If it's 1v1, I will ask my teammate if he needs help before entering.
Was I one of the 4? Usually, I'll not bother if there is already a pile on a single guy. In fact I usually taunt them on range vox. Something like:
"Hey, there's 6 of you on that smoking corsair with the missing wingtip. Do you guys think you can handle him?" :lol
Or was it that time that it looked like they were never going to kill you?
I'll always let a friend rtb if they call bingo. If they don't call but it's obvious they are leaving, I'll ask on 200. No response, I'll probably run them down.
As for picking me. Well I deserve it. In a furball I'll take the biggest threat and kill it. If I miss I usually have a second or third plane in mind as an alternate target. This means people get picked, although I never understood why killin anyone in a furball could be considered picking... it's a furball. :aok

Yes one of the four but came in late, though it was never more then vs 3 as the P38 never dropped in to engage just kept my SA busy so credit to Anodizer for that.
Heres a link to revive your memory. :D

Anyway was a fun little furball, and I thought BiPolar handled the P39 well. Enough for me to consider him more of a threat compared to the first Pony which proved his worth on the first pass. :lol

If you make a statement like "i picked him like the twit i was back then (before i was a muppet)" you have to expect someone to take a easy shot and make a joke of it. Hence the :D at the end of my statement.

To be honest with you, back then i was a twit. Didnt know ACMs from ABCs
Im still a twit in a strange kinda way. I do fly with SkyRock WaX and Scot12b. :D :noid :noid
-
If they pick you go back hunting them and return the favor. I like getting <S>'s from people I do that to, the ones that bug me are the ones who get upset on 200 that I picked them. IRONY!

Nope, it was 1 on 1 although I had the equipment advantage (although I don't remember specifically what the other guy was flying).
Like I said, it was my own fault for ignoring you.

Shawk has the record of 186 kills no deaths no ditches. Also he did this in a 190d.. BTW his kills per hours were very high.
I never had the dedication to go for a tour record but my best was one flight in a tempest. 54 kills no vulches with 3 rearms... I do have film of the last 1/2 of that flight..
actually it was 182, check out Tour 73. Was pure luck, shoulda died 10 times. Landed at least 3 times deadstick and several times with 1/2 a wing or missing parts. And still only finished #2 in Fighter LOL :aok

Heheh WTG. Yup there is definitely skill required but as I've always said, and you as well, there has to be some good luck involved.
