Ah, that new stats page is a blessing. Now I fanally may learn all the lessons how my tiny squad can fight it's way to the top!
Learn from the best, I say!
Current Late War squad #1: ~Cowboys From Hell~ lead by MADCAP71
I was browsing their amazing kill lists and found repeateldy the name poopdeck...
Now lets see his current stats vs the whole squad:

BTW, that squad has only 4 members... :noid
(Skuzzy, even if you finally are fed up with this kind of threads and chose to skuzzify my posting - I still love ya for what you have done for us!)
-
haha I love it. 4 man squad all shadekilling.. hilarity.
Good find lusche, then again they are number 1 ranked I guess it should've been a natural check...
wow I can't believe how many people actually bother shadekilling. and that i'd find one in the last place I looked, my own friggen squad.
cowboys from hell are the ones who need to be skuzzified.

String 'em up!!!!!

Oh boy it's all coming out in the wash.

this is why i have come to judge a persons "skill" level in here by the fights i have had with them, not there rank or score.
but yes this is despicable behavior.

Lusche your a trainer, perhaps you could help a player called Max62. Poor guy has only 26 kills in 30 hours of play.

Poor guy. :(

Yes this stats page has shown me alot about how a guy believes his score is almighty and beholding to others . Now the fake is off and those who hold high opinions of themselves just got checked the hard way . I love it truth in the eyes of your community can be an awesome thing . Nice post Lusche .

Score just happens to be the "physical" banner that people are judged by here. Such as claims of ability based on that score.
It's not so much about caring about score. I think it's more about honesty, integrity, and character that is being brought to light with these revelations.

What really pisses me off about these guys that kill their shades is, i've worked my butt off in this game to get into the top 100 in fighter rank and can never get there because guys like these. I go out and get some kills landed in fighter mode and the next day my fighter rank goes south. WTF man! :furious I try to learn tactics,practice turns and merges, fight when I know I can't win.......and for what! Some arse-hole can shoot himself in a dark corner of the map for 2 hours and make me look like I ain't learning squat after 36 tours of flying the same damned plane! :furious

Ok, I'll bite: ;)
Always look at you own stats for information purposes only, don't compare yourself too much with other players. Rank & scores is depending on too many variables. You only know what you have done, what style you fly etc. Don't measure your progression by rank number.
Getting a consistent K/D of 3 in a Hurricane I is an accomplishment but doesn't result in a fancy rank. (On the other hand, getting a overall K/D of 3 in a Tempest is completely unspectacular)
(But if you really want to get in the top 100 for whatever reason: Kill quicker. Probably take more risks. A slight drop in K/D will be offset by a huge increase in K/T)
-
Nope, it's too late to try and talk sense to me. I'm opening a shade account by the name of Ack-Crack as soon as HTC opens in the morning. I'll be ranked #1 by saturday. And don't try to find me for I'll be too busy to fight targets that shoot back! :rock

Max62 is interesting if you dig a little deeper.

You obviously haven't spent much time studying how to "game" the game. Top 100 in any rank is pretty easy once you figure out how to maximize your score in each category. It by no means will be much fun though.

Maybe he means "top 100 without gaming the game?" Top 100 in fighters doesn't mean much because any tard can vultch and only look for fights where his side is attacking (but I'll admit I still vultch now and then). That's why I like the fights in Tank-Town/Fighter-Town on the large island map: the three country dynamic generally prevents vultching and one side totally beating up the other.

Just fyi, I think the scoring aspect of the game gives absolutely no insight into how skilled a player is. I know that top 100 anything in the ranks means diddly.

I met up with one of our top 25 ranked fighter pilots the other night. He was in a K4 BnZing friendlies over a friendly vbase. I came in in a K4 myself with a few K alt advantage. He saw me coming from outside icon range and took off running. As I hit icon range he started stick stirring like a n00b. I chopped throttle, waited and when he finally quit stirring the stick and tried a break move I nailed him in full profile with my 30mm.
Definately NOT a top 25 fighter pilot regardless what the rank says.

I manage to get in the top 100 sometimes in fighters and fly mostly in defense against the horde. I am the uncola.!

Quoted for truth.

You guys know when they are flying those Thunderbolts they will kill you in heart beat on GV bases.

I could be ranked in the teens or even less in gvs,attack and bombers but that don't interest me. Fighter mode is a whole different ball game IMO. I know there's guys in the game that will avoid a good fight at all costs, but to be able to get in a furball and mix it up and come out the other side with 8 or 10 kills takes skill that I just don't have right now. I'll get there eventually I hope. It's just a silly goal of mine.
But when kids, or maybe even adults, come in and vulch their accounts, they're screwing with the only tool I have (rank system) to measure my ability against others in the AcesHigh community. It's frustrating and muddys the water, so to speak.
To me there's rank and earned rank. There's several guys on this bbs that have out right cartoon skill. I have my own top 100 list and HT has his. :salute

I rate myself on how many holes it takes to make me crash... yes I count fast!

Making a mockery of the people who do this on range so everyone will know who they are may help shy them away from doing it further. Chances are they don't come to these boards and have no idea they have been caught.

I guess it depends on what you consider "fun". I happen to like killing the bad guys, so most of the scoring system applies to me as being "fun". Apparently I consider flying an IL-2 "fun" this tour, accounting for nearly 1/3 of my total kills so far. The Sherman is my second "fun" ride this tour. (Can someone tell me why a Zero would try to strafe a Sherman? You'd think when they're looking down a 76mm barrel they'd be smart enough to go somewhere else.) I can remember when I didn't know GV's were fun, but that was before I learned I could drive my tank onto an enemy airfield and wreak all kinds of havoc, so again, it depends on what you consider "fun".

I tried to get kills on a shade account once....but he Ho'd me right back to the tower. :uhoh

Older discussion but I have a follow up of me calling out madcap71 on range. My favorite part is when he attempts to prove to me how Uber he is by how many kills he has racked up on Snailman and Pacerr? :rofl Enjoy.

Since when is killing the Snailman an indicator of skillz in this game?
:rofl
"Why don't you cross reference how many times I shot down Snailman vs what he shot me (...) And you will find the results are staggering!"
Indeed they are. During the last two years (22 tours), madcap71 has shot mw down exactly 2 times. And I have killed him 2 times.
Absolutely staggering indeed.
Especially when compared to his 291 kills vs poopdeck in only 3 tours...
:noid
-

I didn't mean to imply it isn't an indication of skill to kill you(if I did). I just thought it was hysterical he was trying to justify his shade killing by rattling off pilots names he has killed. The results are quite staggering though...thanks for the tip MADCAP71. And when DMBear made a joke about him changing his name he said adamantly I'm not changing MY name. So good news, we can continue our fun with him.

I know... I was merely quoting madcap ;)

So true... :aok

LOL Grizz Good job on calling him out. :rofl :aok To bad he denied any knowledge of what you were talking about. Would have made all the difference if he would have come clean and just said "yeah it was a mistake, doubt you'll see me do it again". Instead he denied any knowledge of it, .... what a joke.
Worst part was him trying to use Snailman and pacer kills to validate his worthiness. Staggering I tell you!
I just can't stand cheaters and find it really hard to tolerate them without saying something :mad:
