Not factoring Joch1m's 262 sorties, his K/D ratio this tour is 4.27.

I came up with a K/D of 3.54.

His current K/D of 4.50 comes from 171 kills/(32 deaths + 3 ditches + 3 captures) = 171/38 = 4.50

Take away 47 of those kills and 3 of those deaths from flying the 262 and you get:

(171 - 47)/(29 deaths + 3 ditches + 3 captures) = 124/35 = 3.54

I only factored in the deaths, silly me, I forgot about bails and captures. Do ditches go against score?

Can we agree that his KDR is more than 1:1?

Can we agree that his KDR is more than 1:1?

It certainly is.  I'm not disputing that he's a good pilot.  I honestly have no idea if he's good or not, as I don't think I've ever flown against him before.  I'm just noting that flying the 262 has significantly impacted his overall K/D and, by consequence, his fighter rank.

I understand. I just wanted to point out, in a polite mannor, that your statement was incorrect. Not out of spite, I just wanted to prevent any future conflict and/or missunderstanding.

which is why i never really look at it. i fly. i die. i kill. i bail. i ditch. i fall out of the sky. i hit trees. sometimes if i'm lucky i land. it's all in cartoon land, so it's all fun.  :aok

Evidently since you play at such late hours, in relation to euro times, you may not have seen a few pilots in the air.  I do believe that the measuring stick of fighter prowess may be the dueling ladder, or maybe even KOTH.  One of these few guys has won the TOC twice.  

Now, as far as E fighting, maintaining the edge et al.... I have never seen your 38 under 20K, IIRC.  

So, nice try kiddo.  Go back to your hole and comb your dolls hair for a bit, this was a grown up conversation about perspective.  If you feel someones idea of playing the game (sim/score/etc...) contradicts your own personal perspective, you are no more than an arrogant self absorbed clown.  I appreciate someone who has the discipline to fight from the advantage.  I appreciate someone who when fighting four at once, can drop all four and still RTB with no damage.  There are a few guys who can do this.  Sadly, you are not one of them.  (nor am I for that matter, but I do aspire).  

You might want to pick a bit easier of a target than the few if you want to allude to timidity, for the bulk of the few are excellent at fighting, and not remotely as pompus as you.  

Bottom line:  Yet another akak fail.  Hey, if I did not have your responses to read, what would I have.  Farewell.   :salute


What a crock. I've only killed AkAk maybe twice & both times he was in the dirt and out turning all 4 of the other guys. That's why I got the kills.   :old:  :banana:

Could be.  But you're not a timid flyer.
