Lately I was toying around with a few different concepts for my next annual stats thread.
And while I tested some new chart stuff, I suddenly noticed one player truly being his own star, hovering far above us puny mortals... :uhoh
Yes, you already knew that, but I have a chart to prove it! :old:

Disclaimer: This us a lighthearted forum post with the sole intention of having fun. I am not responsible for any possible degradation of this thread into name-calling and player bashing, or misuse of the charts for proving how much AH, it's players or the OP do suck theses days.
Thank you.

It was your idea :neener: :D

Where am I at on the chart?

it depends on how you are configuring....but my guess

Ok not really. But I would love to know who that is lol
I'm in that massive black ball in the corner :bolt:

How did you come up with the death total for fighter/attack? I can find the kills for them, but the deaths are totaled as one. I can not subtract the bombers out because I do not know if I flew them as attack or bomber (i.e B25)

You don't go by plane. You simply check the pilot score sheet, which lists kills for fighter, bomber and attack mode separately. And by the way, for this chart I ignored all discos. Death (X-axis on the chart) = sum of fighter and attack bail + capture + death.

How long did this one take you? and are you planning on making a big one for the year?

You guys do know that you can approximate your position by matching your K/D to the chart. I did that and was only two dots off.

I must be missing something, I checked my pilot score, but Kills are broken up for Fighter/attack/bomber/gv, but deaths are grouped into one big pool.

Go to pilot score, not pilot stats.

probably in the middle of that massive horde :lol

man life is harder being stupid :uhoh
307 kills
204 deaths
got it now :aok

:O Bruv, I'm making a sharp left turn and gonna head your way now. :cry
:old: FPHs and their wannabes should not be seperated by such great distance on the x axis.

How long did this one take you?
Very difficult to tell, as it was just a byproduct of a bigger and more complex process. The data had already been there, was just another idea to filter process and present it in a different way. I was originally looking for a way to determine the "dominance factor" for individual players, which was originally something I did for fighter planes and tanks. And this "dominance factor" is in turn a try to find out if any notable changes had happened to the pilot vs pilot balance (vets vs noobs, butchers vs baby seals) over the last 10 years.
Basically I started with that stuff more than a year ago.
and are you planning on making a big one for the year?
If everything works out as planned , this one will be much different from my previous ones. Those have become kinda boring, there is not that much change beyond "...the La-7 went 4 places up in the usage chart. And now for the newest entry in the AH hit parade... ".
So as I hate routine work, I plan something different, not limited to this year but selected stuff from 2001 to 2011. "Change & Constancy".
Unfortunately real life currently doesn't care much for my "plans", so I just have to see how much I can really commit myself to this ;)
-
hmm, there is a gap with 307/204..I do not exist :uhoh
But yet I think, therfore I am :headscratch:

How many kills have you gotten since Lusche pulled the data for that chart? Perhaps something close to 307/204?

Thanks for posting it.

I guess this would be me.

No,you have 511 kills and thus are just outside of that chart. You can find your dot on the large scale map. Just a small tad above the 500 line.
-
hmm... one could turn this into a nice web based application. Enter your name and select one of many standard and custom score data for each axis, and see your dot highlighted among your fellow pilots
Not that I'm going to do that. I'm trying to get a life, not to wreck it for good :lol

You may be already too far gone :D
Ok revised is 307/257 I can see myself on the chart now.
May I ask why include "bailed" if you do not count ditch? Both in my opinion would be a successful end to a sortie. Being killed is obvious, and captured, would end your cartoon pilots career, however a bail in friendly territory just as a ditch in friendly would not.
-

Because it's a death in AH too. I only dropped discos this time to speed things up a bit, on this scale it didn't matter that much - and also this was never meant to be a "serious", "official" chart anyway. ;)

I believe I have found my dot but it was hard to decide if it was this one or the one next to it:

Really cool stuff luche :aok

wow, thats great, I am just under the median line, somewhere in the middle of that blob - which is good.
Oh and your disclaimer is brilliant. . . that alone made me smile (and i think was successful).

630 hours combined aug/sept that's over 10hrs day :O
I cant believe it either. Wow! Just wow... :O

So was I right Snail?
I just used the full deaths count but....throw me a bone here will ya :confused:

Not at the Blob but not too far out. I think I got it close.

OK, I'm computer illiterate, I dont know how to do that "arrow thingy, this is me". Come on Snailman, show me, show me, show me, please. I have candy...............

I think we need to bring back the age-old, time honored tradition of the "Pasty-Skin Award".

Awww, but but but, we all want to know where own little star in the sky is. :D

You have forgotten to include "captured" and "bailed" in your deaths :)
Why would you add bailed? if you bail over enemy terr == captured so your number could be counted twice
-
Think Midway stood out last tour, wait 'til you crunch the numbers for this tour. :D
-

A mission can only end with "captured" or "bailed". It can't be both of them and thus can't be counted double at all.
Non death sortie endings:
Landed
Ditched
Full death sortie endings:
Death
Bailed (= in friendly territory
Captured ( = in enemy territory)
Half death sortie ending:
Disco
And that's how things are set up by HTC, not by me. I just dropped discos this time to speed up things, apart from that I followed the official rules. :)
-
Bailed (= in friendly territory
as for it counting to your k/d, I don't know about that.
One can bail with no enemies around and no damage and no one gets the kill. If its a zero-sum game, no kill for another must equate to no death for you.

As far as player score is concerned, it is not. I f you fly into a mountain with no one around, no one gets the kill either - but you are still dead. ;)
It's only a zero sum game for plane based stats.
FYI in tour 140, 479k deaths have been suffered according to the plane stats pages. But if you check the scores of all those players appearing on the plane stats pages, you will find 563k total deaths. About 15% of all score "deaths" (excluding disco) had no victor. :old:

hmm interesting... learned something new about AH scoring.

Did you know that your fighter rank is just the sum of your ranks in the various categories listed under fighter score, rolled up into one number and then ranked? Your overall RANk is the sum of your fighter, attack, vehicle, Bomber, etc...rolled up into one number and ranked.

My favorite Far Side cartoon was two guys flying over a deserted island. There was person on the island who had placed tree trunks on the beach spelling HELP but the one tree at the end of the p had washed away. The Pilot was saying "Oh, nevermind, it says HELF" as he was turning away.
