Add a stats page for Scenarios (Check six and Snap shots)

What for?  Well, that's primarily the answer you get when trying to recruit folks from the Main to the Scenarios.  In the Main, they're 'working' for at least something, Perkies, score, real estate....in Scenarios, you work for nothing.

This would be *my* plan for more participation.
~MORE HISTORICAL TERRAINS!
~Stats that carry over either month to month, or reset...don't matter, just give some of these boys who do fly for score something to get them over to the scenario's.
~More early war planes...not much need said about this now is there?

actually ripsnort, in a way i completely disagree

i wish tehre was no stats page at all

when playing other (non massively) multiplayer flight sims, the environment 100 times more friendly than (example) aces high.

i believe this is because of the lack of scoring. i know that the times i have flown off the handle and cursed on channel 1, it has been because i was scorw whoring, and had gotten a 20 kil streak then got vulched or something.

if there was no score, ppl would fly more for fun, like they do in other games i think.

but thats just an idea.

Zig, I'm in 100% agreement with you, but alas, the apple in this game has been bitten, so, we may as well have it in all the arenas.

I think a stats page for senarios could be very cool. At least in senarios, most of the flying and combat is closer to the way it really was (read no endless respawn of enemy planes) so people have less of a tendancy to fly stupid on purpose.

In that light, we could se some true "Aces" be made in very similar ways to the WWII aces. You could keep accumulating kills for each A/C type or country (allied or axis) and be considered as your senario personna or life. Maybe even take it one step further and allow for awards and commendations to be awarded by the CO's of the various participating countries in each event.

When I say senario personna, I basically mean that most people fly for either allies or axis all the time. So, you could have a different personna for each country and advance that personna until it is POW or KIA. The same personna could be used in multiple senarios.

Some people will never come to senarios (hopefully) because they have an uninformed view that we are there to fly around hiding from each other for hours on end.

Good news, something *is* in the works for this, not for V1.07, but a future version.
