This is gonna come across rude, but I dont mean it to be.
Some of the best leasons in life are the hardest learned.
From what you wrote, future greatest cartoon pilot ever John Pilot Noob, is doing the same thing most all of us did when we first started. You even explained in your post how he has progressed.
Now it seems to me that when he learned about rank and score, somebody had to teach or explain rank and score. I think somebody either left out a few minor details or somebody didnt listen. Maybe a case of both.
As you stated he is learning. Let him learn and go through the growing pains we all did. It can be a learning experiance for both you and him. He will learn to be more aware of how he would like to score his sorties and maybe have a little more focus to that small detail when the time comes he gets to help another John Pilot Noob upcomming ace cartoon pilot. You and others involved with his training can also learn to cover and see they understand that small detail.
Your request is somewhat pointless. It has some merit, but it comes across more like a knee jerk reaction. You ask for somebody else to fix your short commings that you yourself are capable of fixing. People learn when they fall they get up. There is no reason, in my mind anyway, for HTC to go spend time to make changes to something that aint really broke to begin with in order for somebody to be lazy and worry bout personal/ squad score. Being able to see how your progressing to some degree is helpful, but score just aint all that. On top of that HTC has great online reference link that can be found using the "Help" link under support on the main HTC page. In case you dont want to look it up I'll give ya the link:
http://www.hitechcreations.com/frameset1.html?ahhelp/index.html and here while we are on the subject, this link explains scoring:
http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/scoring.htmlGreat reference material. When somebody says RTFM, there is usualy a good reason that is based on their personal experiance. I have found if there is a crappy manual then people are either told more in depth things in game by others from what they themselves have learned from playing or a person is directed to a site that isnt ran by the game because somebody had to go make a better manual themsleves to makes up for the short commings of the game developer. HTC doesnt have that problem. They have a very well thought out and informative online help manual. So go there. Send John Pilot Noob or any of his other minions there. Providing they can understand what they are reading, it can do nothing but help them.
Tell John Pilot Noob, score is like a fine wine. It comes with age. Tell him to go have a good time and stop worrying bout score. If it happens to bothers you that his score being low, is lowering you squads over all score, let him out of the squad until his score comes up, while allowing him to fly with yall and learn the ropes. I'd like to think though that squad score wouldn't mean that much to somebody to have to do that. To each his own I guess.
