Wasn't refering to you but rather the #1 ranked pilot.  

As for my K/H, take a look at the time I fly.  Because of my work hours, I usually don't get on until 11pm or later.  At that time the arena usually has about 150 people in it and you really have to search for a kill and the length of most of my sorties last close to 45 minutes, if not longer.  Sometimes in that entire time I might only run into 4 or 5 enemy.

AKAK you're my bro... was yanking your chain buddy.  No excuses needed, I know how you fly.... bro.

Edit:  not that you were making excuses... I meant no explanation needed.

That would be fun.  The Spitfire I have troubles with is the Spitfire V so I could use all the practice I can get against it.

Great... maybe Sunday night?  I'm not gonna be around tomorrow night. Give me a shout ... dunno what it is but I really have a good time in DA (often laughing at myself).

The arena's totally different flying "asia-pac" hours isn't it.  The big maps especially can make it hard to find a fight.

There's also a very large niki contingent to deal with (and they are very good  ) - but maybe that applies at other times as well.

Overall I kinda prefer the arena at that time , seems to be a bit less of the herd/pack mentality of other times I log on in prime time  in your evenings.

It does make finding a fight in the large maps hard at those hours but you can also find some good quality 1v1 fights more often than not.  And at those hours it gives me a chance to fly with guys like WingZero and Kyle, which are always good pilots to have around in a tight situation.

Hopefully the next thing you will discover that rank is meaningless and will eventually ruin your enjoyment of the game.  Just as ask all the rank/score potatos that whine and get pissed because they just died and it ruined their rank.  It also promotes timid flying.

Hear here! I especially agree on this point. I don't give a flying F*** about rank/score and my flying style is anything but timid.

I use my P38 to do a smashing immitation of a mix-master when augering GVs!

...maybe "weak" or "sucky" flying is more my style.

I notice the same stats aberration when doing stats for the volleyball team I coach.  This weekend my highest rated scorer happened to be the one that got the least amount of game time.  She got a spike kill on the weakside for sideout (rally score so she got a point), then served 3 quick aces, lost possession on another teammate's mistake, got pulled out for my defensive specialist to come in to receive serve, and never re-entered the game.  4 points, no errors to be deducted.  She was the only player to score 4 out of the 5 times she touched the ball.

I have my own rating system.

Using my system I am consitantly the top pilot.  

First I count my Kills,  Then I throw out all my deaths.  

Then I look at all other pilots and count thier deaths only.  

Using this system Im always number one       Muhahahahaaa
