I know. That's Photobucket, which wants me to pay 400€ to enable hotlinking again. 

I have saved most of the pictures and possibly can recreate all of the rest, but I will reupload only specific charts on request.

and yet our timid tank driver will not charge a V base with only wirbles on it...
The other day, a V-base with no acks, all VH down, and 3 wirbs guarding the flag, while the rooks have 2 M3's waiting. Not a single rook tank charged in to smack the wirbs, they just kept their remote camp positions with engines off. I may not understand the ground war, heck I dont even know what is the "forward" key since the driving controls have changed, but from a plane circling above and eating 20mm from the wirbles it just seemed wrong.

Yes, I have seen this before.  Some people set not getting towered as the highest priority.  I do not.

As you know, I used to determine plane 'usage' by simply adding kills and deaths to get a ballpark estimate, as sortie numbers aren't published. (Actually, total sortie time would often be even more meaningful)
With the sortie percentages of tour 210 being posted today, I could check how my method holds up. Here the top 20 fighters by both methods:



Generally, bomb trucks score a bit higher when ranked by sorties instead of (K+D), but the results are (in my opinion) still reasonably close.

[Krusty]

Certain intangibles might also come into play.

I was going to make a comparison between some of them but I the deaths of kills+deaths is throwing my thinking off. I wonder how that compares with just kills (not deaths)?

Yak 3 is for sure a better ride then the LA7...but the perk value would say otherwise.

[atlau]

Yak 3 better than la7? More nimble perhaps but the la7s better guns and speed make it more dangerous. A mini tempest down low.

Are these stats an indication of aircraft quality, or instead an indication of what the horde players typically fly (...)?

All of it, and some more

Heres a question... which plane do you fear the most? To me its the K4. Despite is relatively lower usage and significant ballistics and visibility limitations, when in the hands of a skilled player can almost always gain the advantage. Unfortunately when I fly it i have much less success with it. The ENY level seems too high for skilled players and too low for new ones.

For me it's not about fear but annoyance. And that plane is the 190D. Less of these planes and you will have much better all around fights. This plane simply encourages HO and run for 90% of the players who fly it. Super E planes like the 190D are the most deadly aircraft because if flown right no one should be able to catch you. It's a good reason why it has 1000 more kills but equal K/D to the P47M. The turny birds like the spit16 and La7 have a lower K/D because they are more prone to turn and be in the middle of a furball. The 190D pilots don't get into this situation as often. The P47M doesn't roll as well nor has the acceleration  which makes the 190D better overall as a  fighter.

[atlau]

Id have to agree that the 190d is the most annoying. The 47m can be whittled down Energy wise whereas the 190d is a top tier climber.
