Yea,, Back off on the #$*&@(@ Pilot wounds!

[-ammo-]

I have flown the TA-152 at least 2 times in the last 2 years and I never got a PW while flying it.

[-ammo-]

So for the purposes of discussion, I logged my stats for last night:

Time flown: 01:30:00 (one hour, thirty minutes)
Sorties: 10
Kills: 30
Deaths: 6
Fights (opponents encountered, kills+deaths): 36
Pilot wounds: 4
Pilot wounds from AA/ack: No

Aircraft flown
Sortie 1: P-47M
Fights: 1
PW's: No

Sortie 2: LA-7
Fights: 3
PW's: No

Sorties 3-10: Ta-152H
Fights: 32
PW's: 4

Of those pilot wounds, almost all shots were dead-6 shots. The one exception is a single HO (that was initiated by the thread starter, no less ). So from that sample size, we have a 1 in 9 chance of pilot wounding. Somewhat lower than what I "feel" is normal, yet still higher than the 1/20 and even the 1/10 percentages we've discussed previously.

I'll try to keep a running tally once I have a larger sample size.

TY for publishing your stats.  Everyone is now more knowledgeable of your comings and goings.  Keep up the good work.

The goal wasn't to publish stats; rather, it was to provide contextual data to support the frequency of pilot wounds.

Then maybe it is something you are doing wrong.  The TA152 is the aircraft I fly the most and I have no where near those kind of PW's from it.  

Might I be? Perhaps some DA time 1v1 is in order. I welcome the chance to see any mistakes pointed out in my favorite aircraft.

That was the only reason they were posted.

I suppose good record keeping and an attempt to statistically analyze data is frowned upon.  Oh well.

Please posts your stats from last night if you had any PWs.  It will be helpful

I did not have any, or I would.

Would you like to contribute something useful to the conversation?

I thought that was what I was doing!

Forgive me; I have received many PWs in my P-47, armored as it were.

Will that somehow prove that it takes too many PW's ?

How many missions?   How many engagements?

And of course, do let us know your kill ratio and rate.  That's so relevant.

If I'm doing something wrong, it would be obvious (especially with no outside variables tainting your observation), would it not?

We don't need a ruler battle to make the point that the PW model is screwy.  And we sure don't need your K/D ratio and K/H rate.    But by all means indulge yourself.

I haven't posted a K/D ratio, sir.
