Alright, I have read through my rankings this morning from last month, and my bomber rank is APALLING! 1000!!! I do a lot of bombing, I pretty much never miss with my bombs when hitting Strat. Targets (Which is just about all I do nowadays) And, I have quite a few more bails and ditches than I would like to have, but I would think I would be at least under 500. Here are my basic stats:

Damage / Deaths + 1
16614.67313 (1013)

Damage / Sorties
8941.48439 (1114)

Hit percentage
227.651 % (432)

Points
2342668.91074 (228)

Field Captures
0 (4374)

Kills: 8
Assists: 9
Sorties: 262
Landed: 99
Bailed: 50
Ditched: 14
Captured: 11
Death: 70
Disco: 18
Time hh:mm:ss 35:37:07
Ranks: 1000

That is my data for the last tour. In tour 80 my overall Bomber rank was 740, and in 79 it was 1212. Other than reducing the number of bails and ditches and making sure to land every one (Which I try any way, I just sometimes need to end a sortie fast for real-life reasons) how can I bring up my bomber rank? I know I sound petty for thinking so much about my rank, but bombing is the one thing in this game I am good at, the one thing I really dedicate myself to, and yet the numbers say I am pathetic. My squad was 50 over all bombing in that tour, and that needs to come up as well, but I assume whatever helps bring up my score can be applied to the others? I am CO of a Bomber squad, thats why I take this all so seriously. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That looks about right to me. Need some base captures to get rank down. Which, of course, has little to do with what you have been doing. Anyway, I bet even 1 base capture woulda dropped you into the 800's or lower.

Rank is subjective.....hit % is about all I look at anymore.

lol. Just noticed something. the top 3 bomber pilots of tour 81 have flown, compared to my 262 missions, 1) 96 missions, 2) 35 missions, and 3) 74 missions. lol. It seems the more I fly, the worse I rank. In the entire top 5 only one pilot flew more than 100 missions, and in the top ten there are only two. Should the data be beleived that I should just fly one run-per-tour and just make it one really good one? lol. I hope that isnt the only way. In the top 20, there was only one pilot with more missions than me, Tan, with 304.

Now, as for base capture it means being the one with the goon. Alright, Ill try to get a few of those in, though whenever I am on we rarely capture even a few bases.

So base captures are one. Is there any specific kind of target I should work on other than that?

hit percentage is not an accurate means to rank someone. for instance you look and the score minded fellows in this game(read SHawk) and they have these incredibly high hit % i think this is do to stuka raids on strat targets. this is because (IMO) that strat targets have bigger clusters of buildings. 1 bomb for 10 buildings and your hit percentage gets astronomical. that might help your score some. but it'll prolly bore you to death also.

6 x 1,000lb on an Anti Air Factory have a similar effect? I use 12 x 500lb now, should I switch to the 6 x 1000?

no use lancs and just the 1 4000lbs bomb. not that i am a rank chaser but if i were gonna game the game that's how i would go about it. but i'm unsure whether obj eny has any effect. i dont think that it would but... the concept for hit% would be the fewer the bombs the more damage. using 6 1000lbs is going to reduce hit % cause your will prolly be dropping them close and then 1 bomb will not hit as many buildings as possible.

Never going to fly a lancaster. I only fly 24s and 17s, especially because I am the CO of an all B-17 squad.

jhookt · « **Reply #11 on:** November 04, 2006, 02:16:48 PM »

nothing wrong with lancs...

what happened to your 109 obsession? did you give that up after furball humiliated you?

(you shouldn't get disheartened, he's a great stick).

the learning curve is steep but if you want to do it you can get over it pretty quickly. next time you see me, we can go to the TA if you like;)

What, we get scored now on how well we do? Is this something new? How many sorties do I need to be number one in the bombers? What's a bomber, does a Stuka count? Do I have any other questions that need answers?
