Has any pilot scored 2000 air-to-air kills in a single tour?
Just curious.
I know 1000 has been reached, but what about 2000?
-
I can name 1 person off the top of my head. Can you guess who? :)

Just one example I happen to have at hand: DrBone in tour 119: 332 kills in fighter mode and 1885 in attack mode. Very few GV among his kill in planes.
About 240 hour play time.
(Of course, just assuming only a single player used this account)
-
No not me... I don't think I ever put in enough hours in a single tour to come even close to that.
This person also did it in Tour 119.

Grizz
That was my second guess.
Is he the record holder?
-
I don't anyone here has the complete kill stat records at hand.
I for one only have the pilot score records. Would be a lot of work to dermine the A2A tour record holder starting from this.

Darn. :bhead
I do want to go look at those stats for the 2000-kill tour though. I bet that was something.

Boy I'll say! Daaaaamn.

Looks like Grizz was trying for numerous kills in every aircraft and some GV's as well
Seem to recall a thread where someone had asked if it had ever been done, back around that time... I could possibly be mistaken though
Grizz and Moot, scotch, SkyRock, sunsfan, kappa and the rest of the gang was always some awesome dogfighting... Right up there with NathBDP, Levi/DMF, WldThing, Shane and a few others whose names I can't remember at the current moment
Edit: urchin, humble, cobia, AKDogg, Mathman, Murdr are a few more that just came to me

I wouldn't be surprised if Torque got over 2k kills in a tour in his chog.

There should be an asterisk... no records from back in the day where arenas were clogged with targets...

2000 kills would make me vomit after every sitting. Could only imagine the poor sob that is willing to sit for the time it would take to rack up over 1000 kills.
Sounds horrible to me.

The link I posted of grizz was 150 hours, average of 5 hours a day. Back then 20-30 hour binge weekends were the norm.

+1 I've done some pretty amazing tours (116) stats wise but never in the joker/midway/skyyr hour levels.
I've learn't to enjoy each kill a bit more rather than be a senseless killing machine.

Would take insane time commitment and skill to hit 2000.
If I were trying, I'd probably be lucky to get 10 kills/hr. Say I play for 4 hours every single day, im only getting 1,200 in a 30 day month without missing a day of game time.

I got close to 400 once. Maybe a shade over.

Didn’t Fishu score about 100 kills without dying? That was in the days before wirbles and puffy ack tho.

I know man. My best actually was 1001 back in 06 tour 78 as catfish6. That was during my summer break in high school lol. 65 hours that month... Man I feel like I was so much better back then looking at my #s lol.
These days I get roughly 5 hours on the weekends. At about the 4th hour, I feel like my head is going to roll off my neck. I don't know how these guys do it! :O
-
Back in the day there may have been a lot more fish in the sea to kill but the amount of sharks was alao greater...not sure if it would have been easier to do it back then when we had 500 in an arena or now with 200 max.
Most of the people left these days aren't good at killing, they are good at not dieing....which probably would make it harder these days unless you fly Tempests, LAs, Doras, ect ect
-

:rofl. Put me in this club. I die a lot too.

If you can even get 1000 kills in a tour, this game is way too easy for you. I would be bored out of my mind if I was good enough to do that.

More fish in the sea back then. Just because it wouldn't be easy for you does not mean it wouldn't be easy for someone else. :)

I don't think it would hard except to have any hobby or life outside of the game. Back in the day I felt like their wasn't always a shark in the water.

Ooooh. 613. 500 in fighter mode. :banana:

With my current physical injuries, I'm afraid if I even tried to fly 1/4 of that amount that it would hospitalize me

Not easy to get over 2000 kills. Especially these days.

656, with 428 in a tiffie (tour 36) then 684 in tour 38 but there seems to be a lot of vehicle kills.

Back in the days one area would easy have 600 ppl....everyday. Target rich environment that one could easy get 2000 kills if they are a hell of a good stick.
These days, you be lucky to reach 1000 kills with the low numbers in a arena.
-
One thing people don’t consider Is how easy it was to switch sides and find instant action back then. The numbers back then definitely had something to do with it, but the way those guys played the game was so fast paced. I played hours upon hours with Moot and Grizz of just non stop action because we could switch sides every hour. God forbid the eny was low and they had cheep 262s.

Interesting stats I pulled here....
I was gong over the last ten tours and trying to see who the top guys are. Rusyn hit 2000 kills (over multiple tours) in the same number of hours as Grizz and Sunsfan. So, perhaps it is still possible to hit 2000 in a single tour.
:headscratch:

It could be possible. Just depends on how much of a life you don't have, I guess ... Hahaha. Doing it over a month is a lot harder than a period of months. Playing every day for 12-18 hours takes a toll on ya. The timing of the arenas and which ones are up throughout the month make a difference too.
I don't think Grizz really ever tried for "time" per say. He would normally get a high K/S which would give him his K/T.
IMO the metric to follow is K/S. A high K/S represents your ability to get a high # of kills in the MA every time you roll. This means you can't be a timid flyer or you will run outa gas, and you can't be a spray n pray or you will run out of ammo. You have to match your kills or higher every sortie to keep it up. This is the metric I typically go for when rolling. I don't really take into account K/T, its typically pretty high because I go for 4-10 kills every time I roll. Different planes call for different styles also. Gotta be a lot more patient in the American fighters to get alt if you want a lot of K/S, but also aggressive enough to get the higher amount of kills.
One thing I like about K/S is that it's not based on spending every hour of the day to rack up points or whatever. Plus it's a lot more fun to be able to get more kills during your sorties rather than fly in the stratosphere protecting your K/D only getting 2 kills then running out of gas.
Everyone has their strong points.
Working on your K/S will greatly help you to improve in the game.
I never even seen rusyn before which is pretty funny. Must've been a shade...

A highly skilled energy fighter. Well worth the repeated slaughtering to gain an insight into an intelligent and physics-based edge-of-the-envelope strategy. Altered my ACM after being schooled by said player and had to do some further reading and flight testing. Wish there were more players like him - good for the game.
-
I thought that he might have been skyrr flying using a different account except that after reviewing films he also reminded me of the way Badboy and I used to practice/spar in the old DA.....
Never did figure out who he was or if he was an actual new player.....odd that he quit flying back in May

Yes, he was on a lot, till about 2 months ago. Most folk were saying it was SKYRR. EH, wasnt convinced...when he first showed up..I had some good fights, even won a few of them..so? He flew all the SKYRR rides but he was on my Squad channel for some time and the voice just didnt match up. I really dont care if it was him, or not! Cant say he wasnt a BOSS. He did however shift into an SKYRR like attitude before he left..just last 2 weeks or so...so if it was SKYRR he held his IRE/CONDESCENDING traits at bay for A LONG TIME :rock I liked this guy..if I ever asked an "How did I screw that up" question....quick and accurate responses...just like my experience with SKYRR...YMMV I guess, but I was never a complaining foe when he killed me.

ABSOLUTELY! To me, he was always PROMPT and sincere if I had any "How did I screw that up" questions. Guess it pays to just NOT BE A DICK, if he killed you? You werent the ONLY guy that he embarrassed(directed at those whos only skill vs Rusyn was to complain). Welcome to the CLUB . The HATERS missed a first class chance to study HOW IT IS DONE. Egos get in the way I guess? Your loss

While not convinced that WAS SKYRR...Scoober(his old DAMNED wing man) quit about that time as well. Only his voice was a bit different than that on his videos. So pretty sure..if NOT SKYRR, it was definitely someone from that squad

That needed to be corrected and I really don't want the past to be rehashed!
There is still 2 "wish they were damned" wannabes currently still using the squad name, unauthorized
But at this point our 30 years of being a reputable flight sim game squadron is close to being completely retired from the scene, if the powers that be allow others to copy another squad's name and impersonate to be something they never was.........

Scoober was most definitely NOT Rusyn. I'm also convinced Rusyn was not Skyyr. Not a one of them flew the same way and the only time I heard Rusyn on vox he sounded nothing like Skyyr.
Joachim and Bruv also agree he was not Skyyr.
It would have been something to see him fight Skyyr though. I'd pay to see that.
He must have been a guy who came back and wanted to stay under the radar, got bored, and hasn't been back. (I saw the abuse he got on 200 by some people who know better. I would probably have quit, too, had I been subjected to that for no reason.)
-
I do not know if rusyn was skyyr or not nor do I care much what I observed from my encounters with both of them is that they like the same planes and fought very similar styles with me.. I would pay to see them two dogfight.. personal feelings aside they are both good sticks in my opinion.. But I'm a noob

MANNN!!! That would be a show down for sure! Like Scott said...I dont care who he was either, was fun watching him do his thing. My mind was made up..that it WASNT skyrr, when he texted me on channel to see if I was in a WIRB and he was bringing me Lunch :uhoh WTH...yup, ok...definitely a no on the SKYRR :rofl

I think the best A2A kill tour for me was around 1200-1300. And that was when I was putting serious hours into the game a night.
-
I can;t remember, I think the most I got was while flying with Dolby's squad...IIRC it was near 500.

Pretty good numbers, though, guys.
