I was wondering how much I have improved since the very beginning of my AH career, it seems I have improved greatly,except in my hit% in this I have barely made progress, now mind you, I still fly the same way I did since the beginning usually solo, and fighting the hourd. as you can see I did try my hand at flying bombers one time and GVs but for me its all about the fight so I stopped flying in any mode except fighter.
I will not be satisfied until I can double the landed to death ratio, and bring my hit% to at least 10 :rofl (I think this almost beyond my ability,almost though for I know if you think you cant do something, you will never be able to, therefor I convince my self "I can do it" :rofl
so lets see your improvements :aok

There's an application you can download that shows this stuff as a graph plotted over tours. Murdr has the link, let's see if he posts it.

I started out uber and went down :P

I don't measure improvement so much with stats. However, I have improved a little on my knowledge of ACMs and my bombing defense. As far as stats are concerned they are good some camps and bad some camps. This camp they are bad.
The reason being that I don't focus so much on stats is that I try to do what is best for my squad and country. Sometimes in doing that you have to sacrifice good stats. Almost all of my stats are from legitimate goals, ie taking down strats, killing towns, vhs etc.
Mostly I measure improvement by how much I help my country and squad.
PS Legitimate may not be the right word. I couldn't think of another to replace it.

very good targeting there, the highist % I have gotten to was 8 I think :rofl

Tried that, but it doesn't load if you have any gaps in your career (tours without sortieas), so its less than useless for me.

yes

When I used to try to keep my score as low as possible(which I never did very well), I noticed a little improvement over time.
But lately, I've not been paying attention to it.
Consequently my score suffered, but I'm having alot more fun!
Its hard to keep track of how I'm really doing when I find myself repeatedly upping at a capped field hoping to find a opening to get up and fight.
Or upping to hunt down a phantom dar bar.
Spend alot of time flying around and getting nothing done, chasing punkstangs down etc.
When you play the game to play the game, its alot harder to measure your level of improvement by the scoring page.
I would imagine that if you "game" the game it is also pretty hard to accurately assess your skills by the scoring page.
-
Spatula's software can show possible improvements (or weakenings) quite clearly.
E.g. my modest hit% was improving slightly in AH1, but when AH2 came out, it crashed visibly. Maybe some slight improvement has happened also in AH2 :rolleyes:

Yep, fly into the hoard and hope for the best, maybe get a kill, maybe just drag 3 or 4 or 10 guys to you so friendlies can get in the air and drive the enemy back.
Or fly towards an enemy base, and see that there are a few building up and a goon is inbound, so you shoot the buildings and lose hit percentage. Same goes for marking, or killing gv's.
I played for score for one tour i think, was ranked in the top 5 for half the month, but got aggravated everytime i died, so i stopped.
It's also humbling when you think your hot chit, and get schooled by someone that's just better.

Personally, I think I have incresed in the past year in a half, 125%. I have went from no kills in one moth, to next year where I get 13 kills in one sortie. My 1v1 skills have incresed about 125% also, as most of you saw.

I think the hard part is defining improvement.

You may want to download the latest version. There was a bug in a previous version that casued what you described. You'll still get an error message for each tour you missed, but it will continue to load all tours you requested stats for.

Yes, i have improved. Especially after I bought a joystick. Was pretty good with a mouse but using rudder was almost impossible. When I got a joystick it was a whole other world.

I defined a squad consisting all of my three different handles over the years in AH.
I am not sure what you mean?
are you saying I can get the stats to run together for all the names I have had?

I do.
I defined a squad named "mysquad":

And then I can examine whole "squad" data:

For some player this doesn't work however for some unknown odd reasons.
And even if it doesn't, it's still a valuable tool to gather and store data for your different handles.

sweet I am going to try it out right now :aok

I know that I have improved in terms of plane control, ACM, and SA. I still need work on my patience and better reading of a planes E state.
According to the stats I looked up my hit % was better back in my earliest tours than it is now. I attribute that to the time played. Currently I'm lucky to get 5 hrs a month in the MA's, and back then I could get that many hours in one day.
-
Lushe; its giving me issues, it says there is no data when there is, I have all my names downloaded, no clue whats up,
but I did find out I started earlier then I thought, seems like my first tour was in 03 :aok
-
wow,
nice Stuff, i see myself as a pure Fighter Pilot, and created the data!
And i saw what i felt over my first Year in Aces High. I started at tour 95, with a K/D ratio nearly 6
dropped down to 2.8 constantly til tour 105. RL issues and other stuff seems to have a direct influence.
I sucked badly, watch the KD line, it was a mess!
Now, i started a new Squadron at tour 107, and it pushes me real quick because of concentrating much more, more SA and Stuff (dont wanna die). i cant wait til end january to see the kd ratio again.
as a reslut, i start to improve since 4 Weeks :lol

My only question is why all the name changes Ink? Geez... I started out in AirWarrior as Doc1 and came here as awDoc1 and have never changed my name but I see lots that have changed multiple times. Why and the heck would you want to track how well you do in this cartoon world? I mean really... I see my stats improve with more online gametime but degrade when my real life denies my time to fly online. I really don't get your obsession with improvement in your game skills. I fly first to be with friends and don't care about my score or lost kills and such. My motto is that I don't care who gets a kill as long as it's one of our guys that get it. Some folks take this game way too seriously! Perhaps I would feel more passionately about it all if I monitored channel 200, but I don't because I really don't care that much as I don't need the grief. Not meaning to get down on your case Ink as you are an old friend but I noticed the change when you started being more conscious of your score and such. It ain't worth it bro! <S>

Well said Doc,
We have lost guys in our squad to score obsession.
To each his own, but you can tell when they start to go down that road of no return that they start to take on another persona for better or worse, but usually the worse.

I checked and my kill to death before leaving was 1.3 and now it is at about 1.06. The trend before I left was a sharp climb on kills to death. Once I started playing here with the lad my kills to death went in the toilet again. I am interested to see how things will be when I get back and do not have the lag/disco problems I have had. It is very challenging to fight someone when you are reacting to their maneuvers sometimes a full second after they have moved.

My only question is why all the name changes Ink? Geez... I started out in AirWarrior as Doc1 and came here as awDoc1 and have never changed my name but I see lots that have changed multiple times.

AHH, conscious of score? :rofl where in heck does my post say that? If I was concerned about score, why would I fly in only fighter mode? why would I Bail from my plane if the friendlies out number the red guys? and then switch sides to fight that same hourd? if I was so concerned about my "score"? I don't give two chits about my "score" although I do look at my "stats" mainly my hit %, DID you not read "I wont be happy till I get my hit % to 10"? does that mean I care about score? far from it, I have never cared about my "score" YOU saw a change when I got sick of being in the biggest squad there was and basically only fought the fights we could win, and when ever a good fight started we would just go to an unoccupied base to take it, even when we were squaddies I most often flew by myself except on squad night, that is why you saw a change, I have not changed actually, I just had enough.
The only thing I am concerned about is the FIGHT, killing REDGUYS, the KILL is why I am here, I am far from a "score potato" I very much enjoy making the red guy explode and know in my mind I just put my virtual "skillz" against another human, and came out on top, or gave them a heck of a fight to earn there kill. whats even better then that is making the red guy explode when he has all the numbers!!!
this is the way I have always been, and you know it!
to say I am concerned about my score is an insult, I think you know better then this but are sore at me for quitting, so any dig you can make you will.
let me say this also, I am concerned about my "stats" it shows me where I need improvement. HIT% comes to mind, if I was so concerned about my "score" I would fly in all categories to lower my "score" but yet whats this? :rofl I only see fighter score "stats", oh ya I am a huge "score potato"
as far as the different names go I was not happy with the ones I chose until JETSOM.
<S> peace

You cant dis bosco, dudes got the best avatar on the interwebs.
hehehe, someone stole it on me. I saw it on one of the other topics in the O'Club. I think it had to do somthing with the FSX or somthing like that.
I am serious BTW. :)

I dont have to look up my scores to see how much I have improved. I think my first month (Feb 08) I was ranked over 2000, and each month I've gotten that much better (ranked under 90 in Nov). And remember, stats do NOT tell the whole story. For instance, I used to bail out on a whim if I wanted a different plane or to partake in a different misison type. Now, I take the extra 3-5 min and **land** the airplane regardless of kills, etc. That alone helps the rank.
My personal limprovements come via these attributes: a MUCH improved patience; a far bigger knowledge base of the aricraft; a better understanding of E and how it works for the different aircraft; a better understanding of basic defensive menouvers and a FAR better understanding of proper attack angles, and a knowledge of how to "game the game" for stats (not that I use to to my advantage, but rather so I am not disadvantaged by it. i.e., see **landing the aircraft**).
One doesnt have to be all that good to break the "top 100". I have not done a legit bombing run since the first few days of the month... yet I still have a bomber rank lower than 60. :huh Take a look at many of the guys under the current rank of 100, many of them have few hours and have done very little, but their efficiency, etc is high.

Sorry Ink, I should have inserted "stats" and not "score". I know you are not a score potato but you do seem to be overly concerned about your "stats". hehehe

Don't need numbers to tell me. That I sucks as bad as I did when I started. That's why Flying Circus let me tag along with them.

I don't see how anyone can do anything, be it for work or fun, and not ry to get better at it. Whats the point in not trying to improve yourself? You like wasting time and money by being cannon fodder every time you take off? May be fun for some, but its monotonous and boring to me. I spend my time in game trying to learn the best way to utilise my severely limited abilities to survive and make sure that even if I get shot to pieces, I didn't die to some stupid mistake I could have avoided or someone elses lame and unrealistic style of play.
The two things that tick me off the most in the game are when I die from doing something that I should have known better than to do (like compressing in a 38 or spinning down low in a 39) or to die from someone gaming (warping, shamelessly HOing, stickstirring, death blossoming, etc.)
-
I have gotten much better since tour 79 i believe i started my 2 week trial. its been slow for me, as i never went to TA when i started, however, in my learning the hard way i believe that I got to learn from my mistakes more than what was tought to me. most of my learning was from me, or watching and learning from the best and squaddies. sure, after 2yrs 3 months maybe i should be a bit better than i am, but im happy with my ability.

:rofl the ole "brag about your stats" thread. You silly, silly boys :rolleyes:

ahhhh i just found out that only players with bad score didnt care about score and stats, instead of good players who like it mostly ;)

I think you've got it backward, very few good players worry about score or stats since they are easily manipulated variables with almost no correlation to a players actual level of skill. It's a lot easier to score well then it is to play well. While there are a few notable exceptions for the most part the list of top scorers does not match up all that well. What I find particularly disturbing is that some of the tactics and predispositions inherent in "scoring" apparently have crept into events like KOTH that are supposed to be entirely skill based.

Well said. And that's why I haven't put my stats up.Sure I've improved but at what is the question. I base my performance on how well I handle myself in a fight against the guys I consider good sticks in a 1 on 1. The only thing I've really improved there is I can stay alive alittle longer then before. But I usually get sent to the tower anyway. When I can sit on the runway rejoicing on my handful of muppet or s.a.p.p. kills, then I'll know that i've truely improved. Until then I'm just a skill notch above 75488547.
Some of the most disappointing fights I've had are with folks ranked in the top 50. Pacerr is the prime example. Top ranked every month but you can't catch him to get a fight. SkyRock,Delalos,Delirium,Greebo....etc, are ranked in the 1000s every month, but they'll straight up come kill most of us with little effort. Just my .02 cents :salute

There lies the difference between a good stick and a score potato.

i agree SIK. as Uptown pointed out, you cant get a fight out of pacerr. he'll pick you, vulch you, ho you; and the best thing about him happened yesterday. Squad mate saluted oacerr for whatever reason, i find no reason to saluting him, and pacerr said he doesnt salute vulchers...well...just the day previous he landed 7 vulches, 3 of which were me. :rofl :rofl

Only my GVing really has not improved. I'm dissapointed at that.
