Game Scoring

[Newman5]

I was looking at my kills page today when a question popped into my head about one of the phrases at the end.  What is included in the "total kills not counted towards rank"?  I know the ship gunners are not counted but that was only 6 of the 14.

planes killed in bombers... GVs killed in fighter mode.

Well that was a worthless post no one will bother to try to figure out.

Proxie kills in Goons or chutes don't count either.  Or kills by a man with his .45 (I got 6 one night).  Or ship guns, field guns, GV kills in fighter mode, aircraft kills in bomber mode.... I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.

You can, however, score bonus points by swinging a dead cat around the BBs.

No proxie kills count while in any aircraft or GV. The only way it counts is if you put rounds in it.

False.  They are added to your K/S and K/D and K/H just as any other kill.  They don't score perk points for you though.

For proof, check out the score pages for LTARget for tour 91 (August 2007).  A similar question had come up then whether proxies counted for score/rank.  Since all of my planes are set to attack (the ones that can be, anyway), it was easy for me to get verification by having a friend intentionally auger near my hurri 1.

You will see that I had exactly one kill in one sortie, and note the hit percentage is zero, because I never fired a shot.

Tour 91 Fighter Scores for LTARget

Kills per Sortie 1.00 851
Kills per Hour of Flight 9.32 180

So, yes, proxies count as long as you are still in your plane and not in your chute.

while you will receive perks for the kills, they do not count toward rank.

my ingame is 1LTCAP. i would do a screen capture for y'all, but i don't know how.

They still don't have any actual influence on your rank, because there is no scoring category for bombers that accounts for your kills in bomber mode:



There is no "kills per sortie", no "kills per hour", and the "damage points" is only about ground damage

Ground points =(DamagePointsScoredOnObjectsTh isSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourDamagePointsScoredOn Objects +
(DestroyedPointsScoredOnObject sThisSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourDestroyedPointsScore dOnObjects)

(from HELP pages)


So shooting down enemy planes does not modify your score, thus having no direct influence on your rank.

hhmm.....then although there is no kill area in that part, if you go down to the bottom, where you can click on kills, it gives detail. that's where it showed me the number of kills in each type, which totaled 7, and then where it says ""total kills counted towards rank"" it says 7.  where it says ""total kills not counted towards rank"", it says 0.

now i'm just trying to figure this out. kills are fun, but the fight is much more fun. i only got tangled up in this because i thought i was correcting someone. come to find out i may have been wrong all along
