Are these numbers computed like this: K/D = K/(D+bails+ditches+disco's).

that's pretty much it

Quote
Could I shoot down 200 planes, with 1 death and 199 bails/ditches/disco's (none landed) and get a 200:1 K/D ratio?

you would have a 1:1 K/D

but I'm not sure about disco's
Also only aircraft kills count, so if you kill GVs, PT boats, or gunners it does not add to your kills.

NO, let me exspland it better then what i have been saying.  The K/D is basically how many kills you get before your death, right.  So, in the p-51, if i was to have the best K/D all i have to do is up in the pony to bases where there is a CAP or furball that srverly out number, try to get as many kills as i can and then land to rearmed and go back.  Your basilcally finding the easy kills that you will not have to worri about diying.
Most people on AH know that you, Krapgame, OLDdemond, to name a few, are one of the best sticks in the P-51.  I do not know who dhyran is and really do not know how s/he achieved a K/D of 29.67 in a pony.  that is why i said these K/D in relation to who has the best are subjective.  However, there are other K/D results that i can see that one person to achieved only because they are dam good sticks in them.   

You're right, they are very subjective.  They don't take into account what kind of fights the pilot chooses to fight.  Whether he is a vulchfest hunter or a horde buster.  Steve would fall under the category of horde buster.

There's a guy named Gryffin who is the most prolific killer I've ever seen in the P47N---he's not in a squad, averages 7 kills per hour (not gv's either).  HARD to do in a slow climbing plane that is generally not 'deck-friendly'

K/D on it's own means absolutely nothing.

Stats and Score are like farts, the only person that finds them interesting is you.

Really?   Tell us all about it.
all anyone needs to do is fly safer in most of these planes which include abandoning squadmates to their fate, losing bases, etc just for that extra kill. If alot of pilots in game would abandon the idea of upping at a capped base to break the cap or to fly into the fray to help someone who will surely go down if not helped then all of these K/Ds would be outdone instantly

Some people skip all the gamey crap and STILL own everyone they run into, not hard to spot them

Gixer summed it up perfectly, but people are going to want to see how good or bad there doing, mines easy bad bad reallllllllllllllllll bad, eh who cares I'm having fun enjoying the game, and I'm happy to give all my killers there kills  lol heck planes are free and my cartoon pilot comes right back, but to be serous for a second, K/D really depends on the persons way of playing.

Sure the K/D means nothing...related to ability.  But Mach's list is interesting nonetheless. Not as an indicator of who's  "good"  in what plane(and he never stated this was his intent), but it's interesting to see some of the less common planes and people getting kills in them, IMHO.  B5N.. 202    etc.  :)

I wonder what the scores for the WWI arenas look like? I would make a list myself, but I am totally clueless on how this was determined.

There you go

WWI Tour I
Acft. TypeName# killsK/D
D.VIIMessiah1414.00
Dr.IKungFu8320.75
F.1KungFu6711.17
F.2BKungFu168.00


This where I get my numbers: Go to Aces High Site, click "Scores and Stats", then click "Plane", after that you select a tour, in this case "WWI Tour I" and click "Get Stats", then you should see a list of all planes available in that area, so lets click "Dr.I". Now you can arrange it by what ever you want, in this case we want it by K/D so you click "Kills/Death Ratio" and there is your list. And now you just do the whole process to each airplane. Enjoy  :)
