Post by: Yeager on March 28, 2001, 12:13:00 PM: Getting killed is easy. Its the killing part thats a squeak.

All in all you have some improving to do but you are definetly on the right track!

Damn, even now, after taking several month break from AH, I'm struggling to get more then 1:1 ratio. More or less constant flying is the only way to get good.

Post by: hblair on March 28, 2001, 12:28:00 PM: Don't sweat it opivy. My kill/die is crap too, but I don't care. Probably 20% of my deaths are intentional. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Although some people wok to improve their kill/die ( I do at times), if you're good, word will get around, and you will earn your respect that way.

Now, in the upcoming 'Hostile Shores' thingamabob, you can bet I'll be flying to live.

Post by: Zippatuh on March 28, 2001, 12:29:00 PM: Hey - I started off in Fighter Ace straight into Territorial Combat, not the Arcade.

Long and short of it - I was killed 100 times before I got my first kill. AH is harder then FA - your doing well for just starting.

Post by: ElLobo on March 28, 2001, 01:20:00 PM: Don't look at your overall K/D. Go to Stats and see how you're doing in the different planes. My overall is like .87, but in the A5 im almost 2/1, and in the Seafire I am 2/1. My overall K/D is screwed up because of a lot of ground attack missions where I didn't score it as attack. BTW it would be nice if that, you take off with bombs on a fighter its automatic that it be scored as attack. Yep this is much more difficult than FA, thats why I will never go back to FA.

Post by: Sturm on March 28, 2001, 01:36:00 PM: Dont worry about stats, I don't and I used to worry about it so much in FA. In here I have below a 1 overall and I am finding it more enjoyable then having a 13+ in FA. One other thing flying in a squad will make you become more aware of different AC, I fly all of them and not just a couple types. So of course my K/D will suck until I figure them out. Also base defense will kill your stats, which is funny watching a base get overrun and seeing the green bar full at another base and a quarter full at the base being attacked. One other thing use the training arena and offline mode as well. It will help with your gunery skills at least.

Post by: AKDejaVu on March 28, 2001, 01:41:00 PM: I've found that my stats went up dramatically when I stopped respawning at vulched fields. Though, I still find it hard to resist the urge at times (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

If your record in the MA is really getting you down... spend some time in H2H games or find some people to hit the dueling arena with you. Practice makes perfect... and kills there aren't recorded in your stats.

LOL - yeah yeah - so it took me some time to figure out you could change fields (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Post by: Sturm on March 28, 2001, 02:37:00 PM: Zipp i had a few nics in FA, PG_Sturm PG_AG air_Sturm _Pips_Priller _EGO_FA_God _82nd_AG

Not sure when it was I ran into you, but one of those nics might refresh your memeory (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Salute I am going on 3 weeks now in AH andlove it, wish I had made the transition a lot sooner. 30 bucks a month means I can't go to the bar one less night a month (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: Zippatuh on March 28, 2001, 03:59:00 PM: Hehe - I remember the nicks from FA “air_strum” and “pips_priller”; however, that first day. I only remember it was SU. No padlock knowledge, I think I was in a Typhoon (looked cool (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)), and the only dumb arse on that field. Probably explains my nervous twitch to this day when I encounter anything soviet. To my credit though, staying with the same nick, my ratio moved up toward an even 1:1 – or close to it. Spent half a year digging the hole and the next half filling it in.

Did I mention how much I like the scoring "Tour" thing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

30 dollars, well - good thing I quit smoking. The wife never argued once about the price LOL

Post by: Sturm on March 28, 2001, 04:09:00 PM: LOL zipp I just quit smoking myself 1 week down and the patch is awesome. Saves me 100 bucks a month so I find another way to blow my money on something non materialistic that I will never be able to hold (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) And I also like the monthly reset. Makes it interesting and gives the people who don't fly a chance to move up in ranks (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: Swager on March 29, 2001, 06:44:00 AM: Dont worry about your K/D. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) If you dwell on it too much you will fly different and maybe in a way where you do not have fun.

Make your mistakes and learn from them! Easier said then done! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Just smile and enjoy.

One tour I found myself watching my K/D. It was my worst tour on AH in terms of fun.
Title: Sad.
Post by: Vermillion on March 29, 2001, 06:54:00 AM: I've been flying in AH since the first day of open beta, and online in AW & WB's for more years than I can count. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

And I just now got my K/D for this tour back up above 1.0

During the early part of the tour, I kept having this insane urge to attack ostwinds in Yak's. WHY?? I certainly don't know since its impossbile to actually hurt one, but it sure was fun (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

My latest insanity is the "I can take him syndrome" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Here I am in my La7, low on fuel, down to 27 rounds of cannon ammo, and I'm missing my rudder, there are no friendlies in the area, and 5 or so enemies, and along comes a higher bandit that can easily outturn me..... I can take him! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) The results are predictable.

Fly for fun, enjoy what you do, and forget about score.

Post by: OpIvy on March 29, 2001, 12:28:00 PM: yeah i have the best time when my wings get shot off and im shooting towards the ground like a bullet. I see how long i can stay in the plane before i bail. Or if one of my wings get shot off i try to land the damn thing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm afraid to use my perk pts (when i get them) because is will crash it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
