You should've banned drex from participating. Didn't he count for something like half of P-47 kills some tour?

Frenchy!

A very positive contribution to the game in many different ways!

Classy!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

This is gonna be great.......loads of pilots who've never flown a jug before wallowing about at 25k and compressing straight into the ground the first bounce they try.  :D  No dive flaps on a D25 ya know......

Ahem.  As I found out last night.

lol....almost did it too.  My D25 was shaking like Elvis on my first dive down.

It's the HO whines that will be most prevalent I think.  I get most P47 kills that way.  8X50 cals do a fine job.

drex fights tho so even tho he kills like raid on an ant colony... he doesn't have all that high a K/D ratio... more likely, someone who is very timid and cherry picks only fights he cant get hurt in will win..  killing 30 planes with no deaths will win over killing 300 planes with 15 deaths.

the guy with 300 kills will be the most dangerous tho.

The 30 for 0 guy wouldn't as pilots need over 100 kills to qualify.

You gotta get at least 100 kills.  :)  Should be interesting.

Is it K/(D+1) or K/D? What happens if someone manages to get 100 kills without dying once? 100/0 is a pretty large number ;)

This is great!

When AH records and rewards the different flavors of chute kills (both popped and unpopped), the coveted FDB Trophy could be in play:

Viva la Frenchy!

Great idea, but oooooh the whines we are going to hear.....

"You  %@#$  kill stealing D-25!"  

The D-25s fighting over kills will be like a sale at Harrod's.
