Change In Score System

Can we get an option like this? To separate Ground kills From Air kills
Would be interesting to see how the top aces rank

HT said that vulching is a reward.  Your proposal would take away that reward, so I doubt it will happen. ;)

Hmmm... what if a plane on the ground would be treated like a GV by the scoring system?  :cool:

Scoring system is utterly pointless w/ no meaning.  Get rid of it.

I brought something up along these lines a few weeks ago.

The point I was tying to make was scoring "attack" meant against Gvs and ground targets only.

If you're gonna fly in "attack" mode, what are you doing at 20k attacking bombers??

You can't tell me that you just dropped on some Gvs and then climbed to 15k+ to fight in "attack' mode.

I guess my point was, what IS the definition of "attack" in this game??

When you up some "Bombers", you are required to select "bomber" or "attack" and you are scored correspondently.

Yet the difference between "fighter' and "attack" seems to me like its kinda blurry.

My thought was that "attack' meant ground attack.

But then again, I,m probably wrong.

Again.

But I think that the parameters of "attack" are being misused for scoring purposes.

But then again, I just drank 3 Captain Morgans with Ginger Ale.

Nobodys perfect!!

I dont think any such 'misuse' is going on. The game is setup the way it is. Play it the way you like. If it bugs you that someone scores well in fighter mode and protects himself by flying a lot of attack sorties then that should not infringe on his fun or yours either. Just let it go and do what you like the way you like.

Just so you know these guys can be beat... and easily too. The problem is there are so many people just having fun playing that are also oblivious to the fact that the #1 guy is vulching them endlessly. This is going to happen. Just yesterday I told two guys that I was out of ammo and it was up to them to shoot the troops... so they bailed out of their planes to use their .45s on them. Two sets of goons with only two guys in their chutes to stop them. You cant tell someone like that not to let 'RANKER' vultch them and to stop spawning. They just dont get it and maybe they never will.

Come to think of it if more of you flew attack (and did it well) it would bring his (anyone playing as you say) score down. The only other way that I can see to balance things a little more is to remove captures as a scoring item but that will bring about more camping and vulching. No one ever mentions the low number of bomber points these same guys have.

Also if more people were flying and more effective as fighter pilots the few sortie types could not keep up. I have been trying to push this category up for me this tour and its tough because normally I use a P51 in escort for fighter. Now Im doing base defense with a sector full of cons incoming and being one of many defending is not the way to get kills but it is faster then escorting bombers. I have never had a problem with holding a high k/d but I really hate vulching and the guys you compete with in fighter mode dont have that problem.

Just saying.

Aces are actually getting air kills :aok

The score/rank system only promotes timidness and avoidance of fights as well as always taking the best planes ENY allows.

The like the current scoring system, I think it works great.

Well there is 1 problem, them a GV shoots you down your K/D drops, but when you take out a GV your K/D does not increase.

Here's my Opinion:

I think they should take away the scoring system completely.  No rankings 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc...  BUT...I think we should be able to look at our OWN stats (K/D, Hit %, kills page, etc..), but unable to look at other people stats.  That way, there wouldn't be much "Hey, I'm better than you.  My score says it all.  Why would I waste my time in the DA with someone whose score is worse than mine." kind of stuff going on.

Sure it does -- if you fly attack.

Sure, 1Boner might get all upset at you that you are flying attack, but your GV kills will count.

Caldera I never hesitate to shoot you down when I see you. There goes that theory.  :D
