The great Spitfire debate

[qts]

As a (soon-to-change) non-combatant, I've been assiduously reading the fora (yes, I did study Latin).

To me the argument about late-war Spits is not only about there not being a late-war Spit - the XIV - but also about late-war planes vs early or mid-war planes. It is manifestly unfair to put a 1939 plane against a 1942 plane, or a 1942 plane against a 1945 plane. While we all know that life and war are most definitely not fair, game balance demands some rectification.

I suggest that the rectification be to the scoring system. How about plus or minus 25% per year over 1 difference of mannufacture? Thus a ME262 (were it modelled) would score nothing for downing a Stuka, but a Stuka would score plenty for downing a ME 262.

One has to consider both sides of the coin - something affecting score would only affect the people who care for their score.

What do those people do that ignore their score?

How about historical arenae? Suppose HTC were to set up different arenae for the different years of the war as well as the main arena?

The best way is to have a score multiplier based on popularity.  The more that people fly a certain plane, the lower the multiplier for that plane.  This will encourage score-hounds to fly less popular rides.
