Here is What Your Score Means:

Can I say that the average opposition is tougher at off peak hours?  Is this the experience shared by others?  Prime time seems to be filled with two-weekers, which really fattens that K/T stat.  Also, K/T is influenced by what you fly.  I seem to get 2 more kills per hour in a 190 than in a 109.

Get closer.  Do you shoot down bombers?  If you're not shooting down a bomber from time to time it should be very hard to get over 10.  Also, if you're doing base captures, set your sortie to "attack."  Then strafing ground targets won't hurt your gunnery %.

For my part, the silliest score category is Field Captures under Attack.

Agree a 100% there sir.

On the one hand, I agree there a lot of gaming is going on.

OTOH, do you honestly think just anyone could put up stats like say, Shawk or Steve do on their fighter score? (Without vulching a 2nd account.)?

You mention these two in the same sentence?

btw:  I didnt bump this thread to show off MY rank, but rather to point out the fallacy of associating rank with skill to those who hawk over their score and claim their uber-ness (OMGWTF I just shot u downz!) after getting a few campin'-vulchin'-pickin' kills or milk runnin' points.

You do realize what Tour 108 means don't you?  Exactly 9 years of regular tours, plus almost a year of beta tours.  Did you think you're the first to come to this conclusion?  Your conclusion is flawed anyways.  Rank does not necessarily equal skill, but a good rank does not also equal a lack of skill.  A good rank does not necessarily equal gamey tactics.

These threads are a dime a dozen, consiting of: 
"I ranked and I suck, therefore ranking is invalid". 
"I can't rank, but I know guys that do who that use gamey tactics.  Therefore ranking is invalid.  So I feel better about my ranking."
That's nice.  Move along because there are 8 more rank threads due to arrive this month.

You just cracked the 'da vinci code'
