Off hour score padding lives!

Not for rank.  Just for points.  Not the adjustable ENY values used for the limiter.  Use the constant values for for the planes.  Maybe use the obj value too.

A kill of a lala in a 202 sould be worth more than a kill of a 202 in a lala

What I noticed last night in the one sortie I had available was ten cons in one sector that all tried to run when seen. From above they attacked and the went into a guns defense that was barely recognizable as anything but an out of control dive for the deck. I saw cons bail when seen and not even engaged. The lower ones just landed immediately. Its disturbing.

Yep, when they are in friendly territory a successfully ditch is better than risking a death so they go for it.  At list if HT would disable the ability to end flight from a chute we could have some fun with that but it is all about assisting the gamers now days.

They must have been nits,  rooks are always at 20+k, now way they could have landed right away.

What is the points scored calculation based on? Is it the obj value? Any correlation between that and ENY?

Nope. As said before, OBJ & ENY are only used for perk point purposes.

Basically the Score Points Formula is based upon number of kills & assists and the amount of damage you inflicted on your enemy.

Ah, forgot about the obj's purpose- I'm not much on scores these days. I don't recall when, but at some point I had very high points (compared to my normal scoring), and IIRC I had only flown higher ENY planes. I thought then that perhaps my points were due to flying a lesser plane, but if the points are just damage dealt, that would explain the comparatively high points as well.

[Lusche]

Don't forget that your sortie's ending has a huge impact on scorepoints too.
Someone who always fights to his death and never returns to base only gets 1/4th points value.

For ranking purposes however, keep in mind that scorepoints are only 1 of 5 different categories, so if you manage to keep K/D, K/S and K/H high, it doesn't matter that much.

Well we've been under this new score system long enough to now determine that whatever score whoring practices that used to go on in the EW and MW now take place in whichever LW arena is down in the numbers.  For the past week it seems to fall on LW Blue to be the score padding center.  If anything score whoring has become easier for LW regulars as they now have every aircraft available to perfect their trade instead of being stuck with all that early war stuff.

Let me get this straight... You CARE about someone elses score?   Whats up with that????? Suggestion to myself: Don't worry about  scores,  worry about that 190 closing on my 6!:confused:

You clearly did not read more than the first post.

For God's sake man, get over it.  

Get into that arena and kill them all, or just shut up.

Anyone have a spare can of CARE? I seem to have run out and could use some for this thread.

The new system has been a success if only because the 5th S.O.A.R. is nowhere to be found in top 25 squads:aok

Really, what's wrong with score padding? I know many do it, I do. It helps in many ways. First you get to control CVs. If some noob is doing something stupid with a CV I can take it away. Second, it gets me respect. I can't tell you how many times I've had someone comment on how good I must be to get that high of a rank. And to be honest, I have earned most of it. But if I have a chance to do a little padding, I'll go for it. It especially helps when trying to organize people. They see a good rank and they know I'm good. Lastly, it's kind of a fear tactic, like a mental game. Some guy comes on 200 and talks trash I'll tell him to just look at my rank. That's normally enough to shut him up!
