... but I'm going to post it anyways :D
As I was one of the players who were loudly campaigning for a redesign of the whole strat system, I felt obliged to use this part of AH gameplay as much as possible. I did not want to join the ranks of those crying for a certain thing for years, and then losing interest / ignoring it when it finally arrived.
So here it is: My personal summary of the first two full months of the new strats system flying for the Knights:

In the upcoming tour 154 I will bomb for Bishops, but at an reduced pace :old:
By the way, I really wished there was a statistic of objects destroyed for each player on the webpage similar to the one about killed planes :pray

I can't read whats does this mean? :old:

:aok I agree that destroying an object is different than just damaging it, and should be tracked additionally.

Love the chart. Great perspective using actual data. Thanks for posting!
:salute

mr snailman was very busy hauling bombs around the maps :)

The snail appears to be quite proficient in the B-29.

Wow, 8 to 10k is my recent bombing alt. Seems to work. Bomb target and get some kills while I'm at it.

Over the strats? Even on small maps in Me 163 range? You would be incredibly lucky then :old:

Strats are the Bomb! (http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p163/Chatora_photo/Emoticon%20album/_bomb__by_honzee.gif)
B-17 is a death trap! :uhoh

The B29 is the 3rd most difficult bomber to intercept. The first being the Ar234 and the second being the Mossi B Mk 16. But the thing about the B29 is that it has the best defensive guns in AH, AND it can mover at 360 TAS+ once the ords are gone at 28k and higher altitudes.
So, case in point if you're going to head to the industrial complex in bombers other than the Ar234, Mossi B Mk 16, or B29, you had better be taking along some decent escort fighters. The P47M/N models are second to none for that duty thanks to high alt performance, guns, and range. The P51B/D are also a good contenders.

...and quite a boring crutch. Just an opinion.

Hijack:
Does anyone else think the B-29's tail gun is (compared to the B-17, for instance) fragile? :noid
The speed of the B-29 causes mostly direct 6 attacks and most of the times I was caught, resulted in the tail gun being shot out very quickly.
Never the rear belly turret though. That gun always saved my bacon.

By the way....What have you done to the Chuahua?
-
Lusche,A bit of topic,but have you ever done a graph on what planes kill what other planes the most?

I think not. I did chart most kills, kills&deaths, and I did what you are asking for selected planes (like the 262), but not in general.
However, the most frequent plane kill is one P-51D killing another P-51D and the most frequent kill overall is one Panzer IV killing another Panzer IV (based on this years stats up to and including tour 152).
Addendum: Top 5 plane kills Jan-Sep 2012
1. P-51D kills P-51D 20269
2. P-51D kills Lanc 12343
3. P-51D kills B-17 10050
4. P-51D kills Spit 16 9939
5. La-7 kills P-51D 9405

Not at all surprising, but I do like how the P-51D gets listed six times in the top five list. Yet another refutation of the guys who claim the P-51D isn't over used and is actually mediocre.

If we take into account that we have many more fighters to choose from than 12 years ago, we are currently witnessing the biggest dominance by a single fighter in the history of AH.
But that's a different topic ;)

Oops, better read the whole thing next time.
For the record I can't recollect bombing strats.

Just Happy to See Luches has the time and Patience to Provide us all with these stats :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :salute

For some unknown reason I have had the best luck hitting strats, getting kills and making it out alive in the B-24. Odd to me as I generally refer to the 24 as the "Match stick" and usually ended up going down in flames most of the time in it. I've been going up to 25K and she seems to work beautifully there. I do how ever get more kills when flying the 17 or 29 but the 29 is my least favorite of the bunch.
Mossi works really well for NOE hit and run on the strat and I've made it out with very little damage on the 3 runs I've done this way. When there is a good low alt rout to take that is. :)
