Where are you getting these stats from?  I swear I saw this same thing quite some time ago, but cannot remember where.  Thanks for the help.

 

Go to the first post in this thread.

Haven't gotten a bomb-only Ace yet, but I imagine it will happen.

Thread revived upon request for the instructional aspect of the first post.

Thanks again GP!

and as an update...

 

 "battles": 25974,
 "frags": {
 "total": 34877,
 "ramming": 1686,
 "fire": 819,
 "rockets": 1093,
 "bombs": 2916,
 "rear_gunner": 747,
 "guns": 27616

I have also added a new quest - a bomb kill in every plane that can carry a bomb. Each new plane gets you a Bombardier medal

As you can see, I'm up to 49 different planes I have used to get a bomb kill. Not done yet....

 

Bombardier quest complete. Of the 161 planes in my hangar, 70 can carry a bomb.

And for completeness...

                "battles": 26087,
                "frags": {
                    "total": 35052,
                    "ramming": 1687,

                    "bombs": 2943,
                    "rear_gunner": 749,
                    "guns": 27749
                

Hope to see you in the skies!

Updated original post with instructions/screenshots on how to use the new developer page to look up stats.

Bumping this thread with an update on both Bombardier medals and Bomb Kills.

I only need a few more Bombardier medals in some tier 10s.

Bombardier Medals - Anybody even close?

Nice job Zap, I have had the pleasure of the shockwave and shrapnel from your bombs rip through my cockpit many a time.......

Every day I run with Mighty Thor through this multi complex of game fields used for football, young men and womens soceer , la crosse etc. etc  Several years back I noticed this new game for younsters about 10 to 16 yrs old being run in the corners.  I finally stopped and asked what the heck ?  Baseball style / kickball.   Coach put his hand over his mouth and said this is for the kids who cant compete in sports but still need some kind of a confidence booster.

That  kickball game describes GAA perfectly.....

 

One of my better analogies.....thanks for reminding me !!!!

What do you fly for a confidence booster?

Again, the misinformed one intrudes. Bombs are on 3 of the 4 different plane types in this game. Your unhealthy hatred of GAs makes you abandon logic and facts just to spew this drivel. I have bomb kills in 74 different planes. Nobody but you brought up GAs. Have you considered counseling to overcome the time in your childhood when a GA apparently did bad things to you?

Takes you back to those school yard days does it?

[Ace_BOTlistic_Cosmo]

I would like to propose that WG offer a stat that shows how many times a player has been killed by a bomb... that could be quite interesting.

 

 

 

[Zapperguy]

On the same developer page that you can look up bomb kills etc, I found this section which tells you how many times you have fired each type of weapon.

 

"shots": {

• "total": 49302308,
• "ramming": 0,
• "fire": 0,
• "rockets": 41607,
• "bombs": 17586,
• "rear_gunner": 1518452,
• "guns": 47724663

 

Using the frag count data you can then calculate your efficiency to some degree. I have 3354 bomb kills at the time of this post. That means nearly 20% of all the bombs I've dropped in this game have killed a plane. That's better accuracy than I have with guns on some of my planes. If you deduct the 1845 ground targets I have destroyed by bomb (see below), then the accuracy vs. planes is increased by about 2%.

 

"ground_objects_destroyed": {

• "total": 18780,
• "ramming": 15,
• "fire": 497,
• "rockets": 1989,
• "bombs": 1845,
• "rear_gunner": 0,
• "guns": 14434

 

 Nothing newsworthy, just some extra stats that people may not realize are available.

Basically what you are saying is it takes less skill to kill with a bomb than guns.  I guess Tex has been right this whole time. LOL.

I won the new I-16 with bomb capability.   I put them on and hit a target with just one bomb my very first try.....  at the same time, noticed I had a enemy plane kill (unintentional) by bomb with out even trying.   It takes NO skill !!!!

What !!!! ???? it is still a fighter........lol
