I am sure we would all like to see the stat page for this full-switch server you are at the top of......thanks in advance!
Who said I was doing it for a short time? I've been flying on various servers for years, on full-switch servers for the past year or so. Anyways, it's not about how long, but how often. On a crowded air-start easy setting server you can get into a fight every other minute or so. On the full-switch server I fly it takes 5-10 minutes just to takeoff and go to the target area, more if you also want to enter with good altitude and from an unexpected angle, and then you're not guaranteed to meet anyone there either.

I try not to obsess about my stats too much, so they're not that impressive; I fly fighters, bombers, ground attack, bomber support, help out team-mates in bad positions, etc, I take my lumps. But when I encounter an enemy on roughly even terms or at a small disadvantage I either win or successfully disengage nine times out of ten.

Here's my stats from when I started flying full-switch and flew the red site on Frontove Nebo, lost more than won initially, 50/50 more recently: http://www.il2.org.ru/war/pilot/wars?pilotid=45174

Switched to blue the last couple of months. Even though I rarely fly and don't know German planes that well, last war the only person to shoot me down was the top red pilot: http://www.il2.org.ru/war/pilot/wars?pilotid=46333. A 2.33 kill/death ratio in the most recent war (albeit a small sample), not bad seeing that only a third of those sorties were in a good fighter (109F4) while the rest were in bombers and older fighter planes: http://www.il2.org.ru/war/pilot/plan...&pilotid=46333. For comparison, your current ratio on Vinny Puh where you fly the 109G2 most of the time and fighters all of the time is about 0.7: http://212.192.155.118/index.php?nav...820/index.html.

I do alright despite all my really bad learning tools.
