Some people like SHawk and HiTech have said the system is perfectly fair.  Does this seem fair to anyone?

when i fly i always get shot down.i have never shot down another plane in a fighter--but i have in a bomber.
i don't know anything about the scoring..BUT i think if a guy flys for 5 hours and shoots down 60 planes.his stats should be better than a guy who flys for 100 hours with 60 kills. like i said i'm not any good in a fighter,and probably should shut up.

and another thing if people keep complaining about the game and all that people think is wrong with it.they might get ticked off and just shut down shop.then what will u all do.

well Amsoils stats are better in every category than those ranked below him by quite a margin, so yes I would say its fair.

I think the point is that Amsoil has maintained those stats for less than 10% of the time than the two scores mentioned.

Looks to me like Amsoil kills nothing but bombers.  I haven't looked to be sure but it sure looks like it on the surface.

[grizz441]

Amsoil's stats are a scam and I question the legitimacy of his missions

I nominate this post for dumbest post of the month award.

I'd have to agree with Baldeagle. He's either shooting buffs or he's cheating. I'm not thinking the latter.
Besides, if he is cheating, who really cares? If he has to cheat to achieve #1 it would be a hollow victory.
I've talked to him a few times. Seems like a bloody good bloke.

 So it would be just okay if Amsoil hunted buffs for 50 hours to achieve his fighter score, but only doing it for five hours makes some huge difference?

yes.

I'm sorry Steve, I don't see how Grizz's idea of applying time to the matter fixes anything. We can always say that X guy got most of his kills hunting buffs, or vulching, or in perk rides, or 1,001 objections. Grizz's demanded change doesn't fix any of that. What it does mean though is that I theoretically could be half as good as you in all stats yet get a higher score than you by playing five times as much. Which doesn't seem fair either.

None of the objections you mentioned apply to this thread. What he is saying a guy who has statsd like amsoil's should be less weighted because he only maintained those stats for a mere 5 or 6 hours. How he got them isn't all that important, although gamey.

Look at football stats...

Every category there's a "minimum per ..." so people who have 1 good game doesn't rank higher and take anything away from those who play all the time.

Baseball does the same thing.. Minimum X IP pitched, or Minimum X at bats.

The way things currently are set, it would be like saying Joe So and So batted 1.000 in 5 at bats, so he's up for consideration above someone who has batted .400 over 600 at bats.

Same principle.
