Scores Scores Scores!

[dhyran]

Why the scores are linked together?
I realy would like to see a scoring list which can be sorted out in each different type, like fighter , buff jabo and so on!
What about Medals or Stuff? Just for Fun!

I also like to see a streak score! Streak means simply how much kil you can do in a row without being shot down.  And Publish it on each landing too.
xxx landed 4 Kills in a 109k4 Streak 32 for YYY

How about that?

Just PM Lusche.

He can tell ya what you had for breakfast yesterday.

Oh, and there are "breakouts" by type available in the score page selections.

Medals?  Well some squads (like mine) do this for their members.  The only ones connected to AH (loosely), are the ones planned for the current (very fun) "War" in the AvA, which would be improved even more by the pressence of the Parrots in the Axis ranks.

Does streak mean K/D?

Fester has landed 12 victories in a 109K4, with a 219 kill streak

But I can read only what everybody else can read from score & stats pages...

And for the "medals & stuff" - I think this will be part of Combat Tour.

Text buffer is to small.  Half the time the squad name gets cut off already.  I would rather they raise the kills required to get your name in lights.  Like 4 or 5 kills to get instant FAME!!!

i am an average joe pilot skill wise, and i'd rather 3, seeing that i have only gotten to land 5 twice (once b-25'n pt boats, and the other vulchin in a zeke)

With the streak idea I think he means something like this.




Theres 250 kills in a row, no bail, ditch, death, or bug/hacks.

Well Yeah,

its like fun to fly , killing and tking care not to be killed, it could go as long as you stay alive in one arena! I love that thrill, and i know, alot like to go for it too.  My best in another Sim was 130 in a row, man what good pressure you feel when passing the 100. Unbeleaviable! Thats what i miss a bit here

[Bruv119]

Sure adds a bit of pressure and excitement I know exactly what you mean.

It has pros and cons of course.

That streak I did in 3 days worth of play so it wasn't as if I preserved them like some did.  Come in get 5 kills then exit and come back with a different name etc.

Of course it requires 110% SA and a great knowledge of where every single player is, good wingmen and many targets!

I think the top ten longest current kill streaks on the chalkboard in the Oclub would be great, Mabey in the lobby too.

My squadron has had a kind of streak system (War Missions) in AH since 2002. Before that we flew it in EAW.

Each pilot fills a report after the mission. Death or MIA ends a life, ditches and bail-outs are allowed, but they deny further missions during the same day.

LLv34 Kill Board

Each pilot's log and reports can be accessed through their names.

I believe the lack of hilighting streaks is intentional...

This thought can destroy arena play. The difference is , in the Scenario you have a mission, just as in real life. It is that mission that drives the wanting to live.  But the mission also drives the need to engage.

In arena play where you are mostly flying for yourself, putting to much emphasis on living deteriorates game play.

---------------------------------

What happens is that living becomes more important than getting a kill. This just tends to make everone run unless they have a great advantage.  It comes down to one simple fact if living is the goal why fight.

In the end it makes for a very boring arena, and no one plays.

[BlauK]

There is no point to living being the only thing that matters, one would have no kills in his streak if it was. The point in streaks is how much one is willing to gamble with his virtual life to score kills. Some gamble more some less, but everyone would still gamble.

In current MA play livings seems to mean next to nothing. All that seems to matter is a kill at any cost. IMNSHO, that pretty much deprives the immersion of WW2 air war. Most of the sensible pilots would break off a chase if an enemy got to their six. They would disengage to live and to score a bit later instead of stubbornly chasing a kill and then get killed right after that, or even before that.

[Bruv119]

I would have to agree with Blauk.

Everyone dies eventually.  The MA is full of runners already because they don't know any different or don't want to know.  This wouldn't promote running, just better SA.  

I find guys who want to live more of a challenge to fight than some suicidal, turn fighting niki dweeb.

I could get BnZed to death by a 109 pilot but if he is flying his plane to his strengths and trying to take shots all credit to him.   Beating down the guy and getting the kill on him would be more satisfying for me than a careless pilot.  

The initial post isn't asking for much just maybe a search function in the score sheet for KD.  This would allow the guys who wanted to stay alive something to look at and wouldn't need any changes in game, or gameplay.
