weight of statistics on rank

[janjan]

Yup, score is really working.

It's based on kills, assist AND whether u land em or not.

We could change all k/* stats to score/*.

score/time
score/sorties

k/d is still valid though as well as hit %.

[Zigrat]

k/d isnt valid - i get vulched alot trying to save a base

kills/time isnt valid -- when you vulch alot k/t goes up

accuracy isnt valid -- i usuaally dont sleect attack unless im in a mission and it specifically asks me, but if im fying a fighter sortie and someone needs a hanger down ill help strafe it.


see what i mean? no stats mean anything.

Go back and carefully read what Snefens said way above.
He is exactly right.

Take it from the most over-ranked guy in this game, not sucking at even 1 thing is what ranking well in this system is all about.

Even though most of us feel that a good K/D is the true sign of a good sim-pilot, the computer doesn't care.  It weights all 5 categories equally.

Personally I never gave a dang about my rank, score or any of it cause i just wanted to log on few times a week and fly.  I usually noticed the guy who is online the longest is ranked higher though for bomber ranks anyway.  

I HAVE to look now though since I have to keep track of perk points and I want to try and figure out what gives me the most perk points so i can fly the plane I want to fly.
