Your list does show many of the best pilots, and you have a sound anaylsis of the available statistics. There are a few ommisions from the list and a few listed that are not as good as thier stats show. This is because there is no factor for toughness of the scenario. I can think of a few players who have better stats because they always post the lopsided scenarios and pick the better planes, with the intent of padding thier stats. To me, the player who can take the albatros DIII against the Snipe and win on consistant basis is a better pilot than the person who takes the F2B in a standard game racking up kills vs Siemens Shukert D1s!
As others have said you are on the money. In fact one of the first things I thought when I saw the list is that at least half if not the majority of the players listed are mainly pigeon hunters. I often see them starting games and taking strong planes where the other side has decidely weaker planes. Never really understood what was fun about chasing around weak pilots in planes of much less strength than your own.
It would be great if those lopsided scenarios were only available as league games.
