In VEF online war the stats would be added after each mission and your pilot history would be kept up to date with kills, deaths, missions, ground kills and time flown.

you really wanted to keep your pilot alive and keep and it made you fly much more like real life.

Back in the days someone had to write the code to parse the log file for statistics. Now you need someone who that creates the mission script to write the log file on his own and than parse it for statistics.
I can assure you, every programmer is happy if he doesn't need to parse the predefined log file but is able to create his own, with his own content and format. That makes the parsing much more easy. Writing the log really is the easiest part of it.

Problem is that there are to few people that get creative and produce "customer created content" for the sim. People are spoilt and spent more time complaining in the forum instead of getting creative and finds ways to work around the issues and enjoy the good parts.
