Really.  

At first I thought we had a disciple of Krusty.  Now it's just plain creepy.






It's worse than you can even imagine - he's retired.

Midway,

All your answers, and more than one lesson can be learned from this simple 10 post thread from yesterday.

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,336020.0.html

This is what you want to aspire to achieve. 

A great pilot yes...but look what others (other than the OP) had to say about him. 

A great Character.


You may also note...the said OP...is no longer welcome here...

I tried that once.  No thanks.

I've fed this troll way more than i should but it is mildly amusing clubbing baby seals.

you want to defend your FPH mentality and think its normal very well.

you want to kill more and be killed less all the while killing more often? ok but how would you quantify this?

you say you win 95% of the time 1v1? lets start with this. the MA is almost never 1v1. DA 1v1's the general word is you lose 10/10 vs anyone that actually duels regularly even when flying spits.

now lets talk statistics. they dont mean anything but can indicate certain patterns if you know how to read them.


who stats... lol

Kills per Death + 1... what does it mean? statistically you will win a main arena engagement 40% of the time.
0.82

Kills per Sortie... 70% of your sorties result in a victory. 30% do not.
0.71

Kills per Hour of Flight. self explanatory. true furballers that prefer tower teleport to rtb travel times can wrack up two to three times this amount
7.27

Kills Hit Percentage 8-10% is typical for wing mounted shoot at every opportunity even headon sprayers that don't mind a lot of wasted ammo on long range and low probability hit shots.
6.66


if you want to up from capped fields and be picked whle hoping for sucker shots on the overshoot or using "spit E" to turn the tables I think you have got about as good as your ability will let you get. you havent really delved into wingman tactics and flying in a capacity that is not described as lonewolf.

nothing wrong with that though. I like to lonewolf often but i like flying with squaddies too.

8-10% Hit % is rare in the MA. Less than 9% of all players had 8% or more last tour. It's certainly nothing a 'headon sprayer' can hope for.

i'd love to see anyone who can win more duels then they lose, either you are extremely gifted or not.

In reality 1:2 is where I stand, I lose more then I win then again I know my place.

I can do better.  There are too many bad shots in there - still.  :bhead

Spend a tour flying the K4. Problem solved.

If you want a wingman let me know.

the meaning of that was drex types that take the insane shots and connect for the kill while using a lot of ammo and not caring about hit% in somthing like a p47 with rain of bullets generally sit around 8% and no one would ever want to be in their gunsight. its one of the limiting factors of this stat. somthing that logged hits per trigger pull or kills per trigger pull would be a clearer picture of who is a crack shot. like any stat it just quantifies somthing that is subjective.

I did a couple of hours of dueling with midway last week. He's got alot of raw skills, probably better than many in this thread after only a year or so.

They were good fun and interesting fights too.

Thank you, SunsFan... but I would much rather fight you than fly with you, nothing against you, I think you're awesome.   I will think about doing a tour exclusively in the k4.  It is a fun areoplane.   :rock
