Title: P-38
Post by: Groth on July 16, 2021, 08:42:53 PM
 The 367th has a history with P-38.
 This link will be old news to alot of y'all. But it hi-lights a fav ride and a favorite pilot.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7NBU_3IZWM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7NBU_3IZWM)

all p38's are conceded and useless pilots, they think they're awesome cause they have a blender  :bhead.  I target them first, well unless I see an a20 around town. :uhoh

i got lots of respect for the p38 drivers, jealous of the blender.  but p38's are fun to fight when you do the unexpected, otherwise expect to die, specially for a dweeb pony driver like me  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Or a compression dweeb like me.

Good for attack, but come from too high, or too fast, you compress and you're out!

 :bhead

Of course, I tend to be a compression dweeb in anything as I have a terrible time with distance and straffing.

I thought BigR was one of the better 38 drivers but I guess he didn't make the cut?

I remember him more in a pony, so I ran his numbers. Of his 28,000 kills almost 9000 were in the pony. The P38J was just under 4000.

One of my favorite films is of him getting a bunch of kills in a pony P51luls.ahf (http://66.189.10.34:8080/Aces_Help/FilmsAH2/51lulz.ahf)

A 38 is only an issue if it has alt on you and is flown by one of those listed pilots..

Any other 38 is just another burning wreck or soon to be one

I remember fighting him a couple times in a 38, not so much in a 51.

I'm interested in how you got those numbers.

I wonder if Merlin from AW used the same callsign here. I remember he was one of the better 38 drivers in AW

I have spatular's program he made years ago. My son reworked it so it works again. I can punch in a name and the start tour and end tour and it will pull all the stats for HTC servers all by its self and tally the data, so you dont have to do each one and then tally it your self.

Whats your in game name and do you remember which tour you started playing at?

That's cool. I was wondering how you were able to do it.

I was more interested in pulling other names then myself as I didn't want to be disappointed as Semp said lolz.
Were you able to find find anything on Merlin?

I came straight from AW in 99 as Hazmatt or Hazmat, don't recall the exact spelling of the first one. Over the years I've switched back and forth between Hazmatt, Yardude and Ratbstrd so I'm not sure if or how you would be able to pull them cause there were gaps sometimes for a few years when RL got in the way.

Here is the page that shows your top killing machines over those accounts. It also show's you across the bottom total kills/deaths and K/D percentage over your "career".

I think for the most part the handle would be batfinkV. There was also batfink for a few tours and then mechanic also but this is going way back into AH1

Bat!  Great seeing you on the BBS again.  We surely had some fun fights back in the day!  I remember to this day We had a tete a tete me in an I-16 and you in a Mossie.  One of the most fun I've ever had in this game!  And we even had the opportunity to do it more then a few times one on one!

I only ran the "BatfinkV" because it takes awhile to hunt for the other tours. even so this covers about tour 58-157.

Thanks. It's odd that I don't even remember flying the Typhoon much.

For some reason it appears that I can't see the entire document or is the K4 the last one. It look like there's a scroll bar but I can't scroll.

What would be interesting is to see my kill totals say from 2016 through 2018 - the last 2 years pre VR and kill totals since 2019 only using the vive pro.

Should show what kind of improvement in game play that can be expected with that switch.

OK, this first picture is tours 192-227 (2016-18)

(https://i.postimg.cc/JhdHprFC/Post-VR-kills.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/qty7RT01)

I also thought seeing "time" is an issue when comparing preVR and postVR (more time on one side could equal more kills) I did a graph. The light colored lines are Pre-VR, and the dark are Post-VR of K/D and Hit%

Is it tied to dieing while gunning another players buffs?

The think what surprised me was while your numbers arent "stellar", and Lazer is just some kind of freak   :neener:...... is the jump you took instantly by switching to VR. About a kill more per death ( less than 1 per death to almost 2) and a 50% jump in hit% almost over night.

Almost worth the cost of VR right there.
