Fariz 151 hours
then
Fester 113 hours
then gpreddy(voss) at 148 hours
then agvj44(hes back I guess) and Mitsu tied at 4th and 80 hours each
My consulting company counts a typical billing work month at 165 hour I think. So these guys are doing pretty good.
At 150 hours they are paying 10 cents an hour to play the game...
And at 100 dollars they are being payed 66 cents an hour to play it...
I doubt any of these guys would even get the pasty skin award this month though..
-
These guys need a union.
$.66 cents? And these are overtime rates obviously.
-
150 hours? Hope that $100 can buy a life. I've had the past 30 days off of work and I still managed a grand total of 20 hours. How the hell do you play this game 5 hours a day for a month?

5 hours a day, everyday?
That's alot of hours.
-
Actually it is more time, AH shows time only when you are flying/driving something, not time you are in tower.
Sure that $100 does not mean much even here, and if it were work it could be very low pay rate :) But I was not working, I was playing, and I apreciate being paid for playing my favorite game.
Anyway, thanks HTC for this competition, it was fun.
-
And I appreciate the $50 for my 79 hours played in my favorite frustration of a game:D I mean that in a good way btw:p

It makes up for the six guys I took the time to train only to have them not subscribe or not select me for training dollars but I will gladly help you break YOUR hip so this is all you can do for fun. I was really looking forward to the shootout but another two months from now theres no telling where Ill be. Right now Id bet on cit anyway.
-
$50 will help pay for the thirst of AH! 72.5 hours here... probably the most time I've spent on AH, due to being on leave for 2 1/2 weeks! :)
-
I most likely wont even be able to attend the furball due to working ODD hours. Guess thats what I get working every single Saturday. But this is still a great reward considering I did absolutly nothing different this tour than other tours:eek: Heck I think I even vulched less this tour:p Maybe get lucky and it will be on a Sunday after church :D

Lot of the guys in the top 15 have no chance to beat the average joe in the arena, much less chance if festers involved.
Ranking does not equate to fighting abilities. I seen it for myself.

Score whoring was hard.... But i can say i did it and i will never do it again!
-
Fester, Smester..... False Idols will get you nowhere.....
:p
DoctorYO
-
so this 'contest' is fair IMO...
if someone want's to spend their waking life playing AH for a measly 100 bucks so be it..
I make more than 100 bucks in the time I DON'T fly...
I.E. time is money
besides, I need to see the sun once in a while,
and bathe, and get la...er.. recreate
-
Gpreddy. can't the cia put a new bionic hip in for you?
-
Was pretty amazed to see I'd got just over 3 hours a day average.. then found that that was pretty much what I used to have when playing AH back in 2001. It's an addiction it seems...
-
Duma, you moved to Nottingham? Quite a few AHers round this area!
-
LOL Back in 97 I had to move to Ft. Worth when I hired in to the FAA, as I didn't know where my eventual assingment would be, my family stayed in Norman OK and I moved in with two "room dogs" that had hired on at the same time. At the time I was deep in to AW and was spending as much time "flying" as I was at work. At 40+ hrs a week I really got my moneys worth out of the sim. Alas, I didnt really improve much in ability and was preaty much #1 on the lunch meat list.
BTW two requests,
I want a hot air balloon with Quad 50s
and
Really how about an object that is a barrage balloon?

I wont be there. I am mucho novice. I think my rank was in the 1000s last tour. But you will have to HO cause 1000 bucks says you wont get my 6 :D :p :cool:

And what happened to you when I wasn't outnumbered 5 to 1:rolleyes: But I admit I got a little steamed about it. Just to clarify it isn't the money that does it, I been this way for awhile now. It more about the MA in whole. I really can't wait for the Mission Theater. There are two ways to fly in the MA right now. Either fly with 20 guys and rape the enemy and fight over kills, or fly with maybe 2 or 3 guys and get raped by the enemy and whine about it. I tend to find myself in the later of the two. That is why I get upset when someone sees a decent fight going on and wont stay out of it.
But like I said, I can't wait for the Mission Theater.:D

Kinda funny.. I could be ranked 5000 and still be able to shoot the piss out of most of the players ranked in top 10. We should get a scoring system that shows high ranks for the truly good pilots, not the ones that spend half of thier 150 hours flying buffs and milkrunning useless fields. Would also be funny if shooting a plane with wheels on the runway would not count towards final kill tally, wonder who would end up with the most kills then. Would also be funny to see the aircraft flown by pilots ranked in top 10. Anyways, done b*tching for now, have a nice day. :D
-
Voss (or GPreddy as you like to be called), a HO would be the smart option for you. There's no vulching so you stand little chance. Might as well take someone down with ya by HO...
-
Lol heinkel are you really that stupid? Do you actually believe that? Your letting your ma experience warp your sense of reality if so. Your not that good.
-
-edit- Nevermind. Not worth it. Cya in the shootout, ace.

For one I fly the F4U-C, but I guess you didn't ask since I was 12 on top 10. :rolleyes: Anytime you ant to go to the DA I will go with you. I have no shame in dieing in a good 1 on 1, just don't underestimate people sooo much.
As for the milkrunning bombers, what ya want us to do, fly at 3k and 200mph and ditch our ammo too? I am glad they are part of the rank system because they help deter the more common raping type of capture method. I used to love it when we actually had to mostly use bombers to capture a field, but now there are soo many Jabo's that it is nothing but a dump eggs on FH and rape the field.:rolleyes:
Thats all for my ranting, But I am still up for a dual anytime you want.:eek:

Ok this aint right. Yopu are saying I do good 5v1 but I sucked in the 1v1 yes? :rolleyes:
well I did nothing when I bounced you in my 38 than you would not have done in my shoes. I extended till u revved then revved on yas. Yeah you could call it chicken chitted but I dont get low and stupid with a lot of Niks in me 38 :rolleyes:
As for the payback kill, you came in at what? 400 knts?
Blew thro me and went for a rope in a nike against a 38?
Good rope but I saw at least 4 MG sprites from 600 yrds on that nik :eek:
Bet you were sweating there....
Thats no way to knife fight in a niki :D
If you were not worried at all about the rankings would you have done it the same way?
By the way? You have handed me my arse many times in the MA
So this aint no slam.
And wtg on yer 50 bucks thats more than 3 free months in AH

Aside from your useless chest thumping there is a pretty good suggestion in there. The primary role of fighters does not include vultching airplanes on the ground. In ah its acceptable because of the base capture goal. Fighters that carry ordinance and bombers should be the ultimate target of any fighter and a fighter that is launching to defend its own base isnt. So why not drop from scores not only planes with their wheels on the ground but any aircraft directly over his home field and under 3k? I added the part about over his own field because of all the nape of the earth raids. I dont see any reason to protect them from counting.
Lazerl you can check what planes guys are using really easy.

just looking over last tours stats.....
GPreddy had 134 Kills vs the Ju-88 .. that is an incredible feat Even the mighty Fester and Mitsu combined this tour don't have nearly enough. You pretty much only see JU-88 attacking CV's these days if at all.
Anyway to parse the logs and see how many times a player killed another player in a certain tour, or particular..bomber? I'm curious about that (http://www.usda.gov/oc/photo/b95c4647.jpg) stat.
"shields up!"

They have a choice.
$100, or a life.

Out of 1397 kills I had:
134 Ju88s of which 42 were as a ship gunner
60 Lancs
56 B17s
35 B26s
22 TBMs
16 Ki67s
15 C47s
9 A20s
4 B5N2s
3 D3A1s
3 Il2s
2 Ju87s
1 SBD5
1 Boston
or 361 bombers destroyed including goons. Thats better then 25%
But somehow you overlooked the 180 panzers. Think theres something up there too? Nope I simply made a direct turn for any and all buffs I saw. Check my stats the same ratio will probably hold this month. :D
Comparatively you shot down a total of 14 buffs out of 184 kills. Thats less then 8% You arent doing your duty. :eek:
Buff guns scare you dont they? :p

IMO buffs are the easy kills. You get 3 for 1 and only a handfull of buff gunners can shoot worth thier salt. JU88s inbound to the tg are easiest kills of all. they are usaly on the deck any screwup by them they auger for you. CV acks will finish off them if you just put *1* shell in them you will prolly be awarded kill.. Lancs and Kis are the next easiest kills in the arena. Lancs CANNOT EVEN get a bead on ya if you are smart enuff to attack from below. KIs 20 mm cant hit you unless you are stoopit enuff to fly in thier joyzone (dead arse 6) Now a well gunned 17 is the only bomber that you need to worry about at all.
Gpreddy you always seem to be bragging to me. Like sticking that 17 kill message up here on the boards. Or saying how we aint doing and you are.
Trust me, you aint all that.
A little humility is definately in order from the you.
Sorry for the slam but seems you need it.
-
180 panzer exploit kills happens alot. typical gaming the game ,camping spawn points preying on n00b kills.
-
60 lancs?
Cant recal the last time I saw 1 Lanc. Let alone 60!!!!!!
Do I need to get my hipwaders?
Does someone have more than 1 account?
Is there a sadistic Lanc pilot that just kept uppin for ya or WHAT?????
...... maybe im alone in thinkin 60 lancs in 31 days in not do-able under current MA conditions. Not that I really care..... but 60 lancs seems fishy to me in todays AH.

Bragging? Not hardly and your attempt at an insult doesnt hurt my feelings. Im merely pointing out that unlike the real world that everyone likes to compare ah to this is a game. I have learned to play the game and score well. This isnt the type of game where ultimate acm skills will get you anywhere. It doesnt matter how well you can do in the da or how many opponents you can fight all by yourself. To be successful at ah you have to know what to hit how to hit it and you have to be there when its time to do it. You say shooting a buff with one shell will give you the kill. Thats awful risky considering that the cv could be killed. It doesnt do a thing for your gunnery to hit with one bullet either. Then theres the risk that anyone in the cv ack could kill him and take your kill or that any one of a dozen fellow countrymen could shoot him first. Manned ack will always win over one bullet. No I fancy ripping the wings off of those buffs and I do mean all of them. Failing that a good tail shot or a telling strike at their fuel tanks until they explode. Doing it your way I might get three kills if the guy is even flying a formation and then not have a cv to protect. I have even suicided by launching with a lanc dropping from just 1k alt so I would take the hit and not the cv and yes it works. If you catch a buff unaware they die easy its true but if he even tries to shoot you and scores just a few hits he can kill you. Even the ju88 can do that and I should know because I have died to a few of them. 17 kills isnt much considering I was going for 30 kills one sortie and got killed by a ju88 at the point I hit 27. Thats without a rearm and without allowing any of them even close to the cv. I looked at your score and Im sure you may have some skill that your score doesnt show. Its obvious to me you dont know how to find the fight whereas I dont launch unless I know where it is. Every game is different and this is how I choose to play ah. Its obvious you have your own way too but in my book there are a lot of guys that arent even in the game. It doesnt matter how tough you think you are or how skilled you think you are unless you succeed and the guys that pretend to have the greatest talent at acm score like they arent playing. Thats fine its not about score to them but they would be better served shutting their mouths about fighting skills because its only ten percent of this game if that and mastering ten percent is nothing to brag about.
-
Anton, check his time online. With that much time 60 lancs is highly do-able. But if he had a second account, I wouldn't be suprised at all. Voss is the ultimate gamer.
-
I found one film of a pretty good string of ju88 kills. Check my kills against bozoro who accounted for 26 ju88s. Against lancs check out tatertot who was 24 lancs and 7 b26s.
hienkle I dont think ht would stand for a second account to vultch yourself with but maybe you know better for some reason?
-
Nice try.
-
Thats what I thought your just taking shots in the dark.
-
Yes, that is an accurate description of your gunnery when not vulching.
-
I think we all know who the vultcher is and its not me. :) Your trying too hard.
-
Your not worth it...a lost cause. As I said before, cya in the shootout, "ace."
-
You lucky SOB! 24 lanc kills.....
"is there some sadistic lanc pilot......." LMAO, some guys have all the luck!
Anton
-
sounds like some people really don't have a life :)
-
hienkle no one can become an ace by manipulating controls on a computer and shooting down kids playing a game. That another dig that went no where. The one that cant be reached is you. You must lead a very lonely and painful life. I feel for you bud. Maybe when my hip heals up I can meet you at a con and buy you a beer.

If I won 100 dollars I would give it to the poor people. My dad makes nice money so 100 really is easy to get.

I'd just like to point out that 80 hours is a fraction of what AGJ normally flies in a tour :) He's already got 40 hours and it's only the 10th :)

sounds like somebody could use a hat.

No creamos hats have to be purple with a gold chain and a huge pink peacock feather with the price tag still attached.
