Fighting the "Good" Fight

[bustr]

Kappa be nice. Pand will never be in your league. As of yet the skys are still blue and gabriel hasen't blown his horn. So it's a sure bet Pand and his boy band posse are not camped in the DA begging for ACM lessons from muppets. The last few large furballs you and I have been through lately, he and the boy band have been absent from. Makes me wonder if players avoid your name Kappa.........

Its not about ACM, bustr. Nor about the plane you fly, the look at me part, being a big boi, being successful, what ever. Woo hoo, i awarded myself with the medal of honour for ganging like mofo, im bloody awesome, clap your hands... its all childish.

Its all about not not saying "well done boys, this is the way to go" after a 5v1 "party".

I thought I'd pull this off the JG5 Forum while Vinkman is talking about wingmen.

Wingmen
Due to the increasing out numbered fights we are facing in the MA it is important to try and go with a wingman.
However do not blame your wingman for your death should you get shot down. Ultimately your 6 is your own responsibility

...and why JG5 never beats the Debden guys in a matchup even tho you are probably all better pilots in better planes.

There is no need for this. Both of you! Enough, please.
Btw, Reds, Irish, Bunny and myself in K4s, they can have numbers, they can fly what ever they want...

If you can't hit something, you will get fewer kills per hour.  The better your ability to hit your target, the more kills you get.  I'm not sure what you aren't understanding.  Someone with a 20% hit that has less kills per hour than someone with a 12% is a metric that reflects flying style and situational preference more than anything else.  I'd say that pilot avoids giant furballs and I'd say that's a pretty safe assumption.

I think we are having 2 different discussions.  I thought you were implying that hit % is calculated from kills per time or vice versa, as we can see from the link HL posted they are separate:

Kills per Time = TotalKills / TotalTourSortieTime
Hit percentage = TotalTourBulletsHit / TotalTourBulletsUsed

Looks like you are only saying there will be a correlation between a hit % and kill per time, not that they are statistically related in terms of how Aces High computes each separately.

I was under the impression you felt like k/h was a more important stat than hit % based on your first post in this thread.  I think we've illuminated the fact that it isn't.  It may be a better metric to determine someone's aggressive flying style...I would stipulate that.

Speak for yourself about losing to the Debdens. Anyone would think you were mad that JG5 wasn't commited to clearing your 6?

After everyone's help including a training great session with Delirium in the P38, I can engage Spits, 109's and the like and when I do a good merge, I get a shot.  If I miss and I often do, I loose if the stick guy is good.  As Ink and others have said, hit% is the measure that counts and mine is hoovering around 1% which is not good.

Randy,

May I suggest some input scaling for your stick and rudders?

Some weeks I have more time to read the boards than I do fly.

I've noticed that if I have 30 minutes to fly, I rush into bad situations, get killed for dumb reasons and frustrated. The rest of the day I'm annoyed. If I have a dedicated 60 minute block of time, I log-on, pick a good fight, load a drop tank and get after it. I spend almost all of my time in the 190A5. I'm not after score, or achievements, but instead a good sortie. I fly the 190A5 just as close to how Kurt Tank designed it, stay smart, keep my SA, focus and within "the envelope." I don't like the arcade nature of the game, but that only seems to happen when the horde is around.

I have no problem with those who BnZ. Those who re-up constantly make good targets. Those in Ki-84s, Spits or Zeros who get annoyed I won't slow down and turn circles with them, sad for them.

For 60 minutes a few times a week I get to wrap a scarf around my neck, climb into my Butcher Bird and sort it out, old school. You do so in your PonyB/D, normally with a wingman. All things considered, that's how it should be.

Boo

No one thinks that, but you keep trying to plant that seed.

I speak for JG5. I was there. I know how we did, and I know why.

nice fights last night pand! <S>

There are a number of things I have found that has brought me out of the 1-2 range that I wallowed in for years. I now shot in the 5 range. It is teachable, have no fear. I was going to write up a big post on how I figured out my aiming issues, but this isn't the place.

The "good fight" can be what Pand is going back to with his high flying buddies, or that down in the weeds stuff he was getting frustrated with. The point is to FIGHT. If your in a E machine, I don't expect you to turn fight on the deck against my zero, but I would hope your not going to run to your buddies, or ack, or just flat out run away.

Oh and for the hit % argument, I on the "better the hit %" side of things. When my hits were in the 1-2 area, I had easily as many assists as I did kills. As my hit % goes up so do the kills and the assists drop away.

You certainly DO NOT speak for JG5, I DO.

You can deflect about a seed being planted and spin it which ever way you like, but I'm right and nothing will change that.
