This is a simple ranking system.

Who has the longest kill streak without being killed? If you are killed you start over.

I suggest this would greatly improve game play.

1) It rewards S/A, gunnery and teamwork.

2) It supports historical play over arcade play.

3) It promotes easily measurable competition for individuals and squads.

It rewards alt monkeys, people running from every possible danger and flying tempest/262/La7 only. Sounds like you want to adapt scoring to my style of playing

No way!
It has been done in "other" games. AH has best scoresystem.

Hmmm.... looks i lost my sarcasm... kill /time is something i feel gamey...

Last month I did 94 for 1 Which was a death by my own doing and not enemy fire.....

In a game called Fighter Ace I managed 50 aces one time in the MA there thats 250 in a row over 3 days play not one bail or ditch. To my knowledge no-one has ever bettered that and they never will.

The kill streak shows on a pilots tag for example ***** <-- 5 aces 25 kill streak after that numbers show. The enemy can see this so staying alive gets harder

To be honest I like the fact that Aces High is more discreet in the fact that you are more incognito(Not everyone tries to pile on to you because of who you are

.

But Aces High fighter ranking does have K/D ratio, and hit %, Whether they play in a horde or not is another matter.

How about who survives a ## vs 1 longest? the higher ## the better rank... and if theres a tie, the longer surving time counts. Oh, and also take ENY of flown plane into account.

That would improve my rank at least a BIT

When you make surviving more rewarding than killing, gameplay suffers. You do wind up with a bunch of Lusches and GrmRprs, and HT has stated that he'd like to avoid that.

I still like the idea of an additional stat called "Perk Ratio". The ratio of perks given vs perks earned. It'd do SOMETHING to encourage flying higher ENY planes.

who cares about 'rank' anyway?

this suggestion tells me one thing:

you aren't as good as you think you are, and you don't know what being "good" at this game really is.

actually, that's two things. my bad. don't worry about rank; just have fun.

yes... people aren't timid enough nor do they fly late war planes enough...

You have an excellent idea for fixing this. Simply add more reward to such behavior.
