I'm rather quick laying my boomers down, so I had 6 laid out already, working on the final tube when 4 Terrans come to the spawn tube area. They were all hoping to camp the tubes. I lay one boomer down on the last tube and get a /tell What are you doing?. I reply I'm taking out the tubes. Then ppl started to shoot me, so I left and headed back down to the generator room. Sadly, we were jumped by a Vanu Lasher and died. Soon after that happened the Vanu started to come out of the spawn tubes to defend the base. We lost our advantage for the base and started to pull back.

Recognizing this, I /tell'd the person in the spawn tubes saying that I guess it wasn't a good idea to take out the tubes.

I find the bolt driver to be good for a lot of easy kills. Most of my kills are from sniping, and I'm sure that if you're more into infantry stuff than vehicles, you'd find a lot of success with this weapon.

I like those completely invented stats people are throwing out... 77% of his kills are against standard armor. Riiiiight. And you know this because....?

I get alot of kills from gunning outfitmates vanguards, piloting liberators and skeeter, and good ole fashioned sweeper/agile pwnage.

No HA, no spawncamps, playing a few hours a night.

Just do whatever your best at, kills are not the most important thing in the game. I am best at gunning, piloting, and surging. Those happen to get me lots of kills. Just do whatever you can to help your empire, and more importantly, to have fun.

I got rid of my HA on friday and i can say i'm a better man for it, better versatility and acctualy more kills because I can target form a decent range with the guass now. I just with there was some kind or Advanced version of MA like a buffed Gauss/Cycler/pulsar kind of like a Saw/light machinegun for accurate supression at range

Basically the best piece of advice I've seen/can recommend is just don't sweat the kill count. Do what you enjoy and what you are good at.

To figure what the percentage of kills your getting for each item, go to your stats table in-game, add them all up. Then divide the number of kills you got for lets say, standard and divide by total. For instance, total of 100 kills, 77 of which are standard. Divide 77 by 100 and you get 77%

Why, I heard it from my cousin's father's nephew's uncle's former roommate.

Actually there was a screenshot of his kill total a couple months ago that was mentioned while he was trolling the OF. The number of standard armor kills was easily over 50% of his total. Someone mentioned the statistic 77%, so I figured it was safe to use.

Also, you can look up his stats of dicepoint.com. I think that's the place. It tells you anyone's kills against everything. what it doesn't tell you is their deaths.
That's what I miss from MOHAA, kill/death ratio

No. There is no way to see someone elses kill breakdown, on any website. The only place these staticists are available are through the player stats screen in-game. So you only know your own. The posting of the screenshot by him would have been the only way to find out.

GodJoey is a fairly decent player and the way he gets so many kills is by putting himself in favorable situations. For example, my outfit mates and I were getting the first hack on Ishundur when GodJoey and GodLake showed up in their reavers with a squad with them. GodJoey is like a lion in that he picks off the straglers and weak of the pack. He killed 3 or 4 of my squad members outside before I hoped into the back of my own mag and gunned both reavers down with main cannon. He did a very good job at staying away for a while from my mag cause he knew I could gun cause I hit him about 3 times while he was flying by, and going after the lone guy standing on the roof or the lone guy in the courtyard. Is he better than everyone else, of course not. I've seen way better. But he knows "winable" situations and uses them to his advantage. That is just good tactics.

His biggest downfall though is that he cares nothing about anything but kill count so you can use this to your advantage. We had an AMS out in this courtyard the entire time and he didn't engage it once. We ended up taking the base and killing him and the Huge enemy force he brought with him because we were able to keep our AMS long enough to keep respawning.
