Rank in this game is a joke. A few of us played the score game for a day and went from 300 something to the top 10 just by following a set of score rules. Something like hit towns or strats with PT rockets, shoot strats with this vehicle, etc. It is a bunch of BS. That is why the top scores for the month are a big joke. They mean nothing to anyone except those that need to boost thier ego by seeing thier name in lights. If you want to play the score game, more power to you.
Score does NOT make you a good player. In this game, score means you learned how to game the game and spent some time out where nobody could shoot at you. There are those with good scores that have earned that score through solid play though, don't get me wrong. But there are a majority that just play score potato.
As for GVs hitting strat targets for score. That's just plan lame but you go for it. When it comes to one on one in a tank battle, I would be willing to bet that after the first two or three times I blast you rear back to the tower, you will be upping in your carpet bombing Lancs to come back for the "I'll show them".

Yeah, you will show us alright. That your score is all fluff.

Stat targets are an important part of the game and if the players with low self esteem need to have thier names in lights, so be it. Rooks, Knights and Bishops all know the truth. That is what all the laughing is each month when the tops scores are announced. It is good for comic relief.
