QUESTION... how are the points/kills scored?
"XXX player has landed in XXX with X kills"
where are the tallys of these scores/kills?
do they contribute toward the planes that COST to fly?
any info on this subject will be appreciated... BS or serious... 
Theres two different "points systems".
One is the scoreing system. According to stats (kill per death ratio, hit percentage, kills per hour, damage done etetc etc) players get ranked in the different categories (bomber, fighter, attack, vehicle). Theres also an overall rank calculated - which is shown in ROSTER.
Then theres the perk system. You get perk points for every opponent you *kill*. How many perks you get depends on the ENY values of the two planes, the perk multiplier (ie the numbers and ratios of people online). These are the points you need to "buy" perk rides.
The system message of a player having landed has nothing to do with how they are scored. Those messages will appear every time you land with more then two scalps on your back, however you got them . Ie you can land 3 proxy kills (someone augering next to you without you having a bullet in), will get a message but you recieve no perks for them.
Also, scoring a sortie as attack or fighter also makes a difference. Check out the HELP file under Support on the webpage for more detailed info
.
Oh, and before i forget it. A rank is *very* important. A high overall rank on roster means the opponent is REAL dangerous and cant be shot. Anyone over rank 50 gets extra armor.....
