AKDejavu,
I think I already proved my point way back up in the thread, just you didn't seem to realize it. You proved it with your own stats if you look really closely, you've either failed to shoot down, or not seen, a single: 109G6, 109G2, 109F4, C205, 190A8, C202, Typhoon, 190A5, A6M5b or P47-D25. Being up around 20K, which I don't real consider strato, you're bound to come across 190's, P47's, and 109's. Not sure about the others typically being up that high but the 190's work best with some alt to play with. So, either you aren't finding any to shoot down or you aren't shooting the ones you do see down. They aren't shooting you down either since you're 0 kills/0 deaths on them ALL, and everyone gets shot down, so I suspect that you just aren't shooting seeing them.
Point made, and unless you can prove something to the opposite then I think we can put that to rest. Just saying "na, you're wrong." isn't proving anything, it's just showing that you can't. I'd love to hear your explanation if you have one. Saying "I never see them that high", well, 20K isn't that high and anyone in a 190 that isn't a 20K is going to have a pretty tough time.
Your style of flying has nothing to do with the stats, other than that everyone will tend to do better when they always attack with the advantage. I agree, that's smart, but not always possible. 20K is almost medium alt in AH these days, I've seen a lot of people at 25K or higher. Still, overall, I think it's down a bit from the 30K 109G10's I saw a tour or two ago. 30K was strato to me, 20K is just a good alt. I look at a guy like Zigrat who can Co-Alt merge and clean my clock 3 times in 4, that's good ACM. I could care less how you play and don't really see any problem with it. Your stats are probably the better for it, bravo.
The C-Hog should be accepted for what it is, it's a plane that doesn't lend to getting assists because any shots that it lands are nearly always fatal. Everyone knows it so I don't think that is the issue. This isn't a "ban the c-hog" thread, I fly it too sometimes when I want that quake-like killing experience. I just think that everyone realizes it now and you can enhance your fighting abilities by using it, hey, again, fair enough. Still, when you see almost everyone and their dog flying only 1 or 2 planes, that's sorta disappointing. It's gotta have HT and Pyro wondering why they even bothered to model the others that nobody is flying.
information provides insight for discussion, that's what this was. constructive comments and counter information enhance the discussion. blanket or unsupported statements like "you have no proof" do nothing but try and reduce the discussion to futility. Explain how your stats are that way since you've failed to shoot down 10 different planes in AH this tour... it's been 23+ days since the tour started when I started this thread, having a bad month?
