Scoring question
« on: November 07, 2009, 05:09:38 PM »
Wondering if there is a way to make it so that running resupply with an M3, LVT or Goon would not count against your score.  As it is if you run some supplies out with an M3 or LVT it counts as a vehicle sortie. A Goon counts as a bomber sortie.  Seems like the Kill per Sortie data would be skewed.

Just wondering.

This is only an "issue" if you are going for #1 or 2.

In every other case, the amount of "hurt" is negligible.

Don't want to ruin your K/Sortie ratio? Don't run supps. Common sense.
Don't want to ruin your Landed - Ditch/crash/fail ratio? Land or end sortie on pavement.

I run supplies all the time.  I am not worried about it. That's why I posted it here and not in the Wishlist.
To be honest I expected those who qualify to play the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz to start flaming. 
Like I said, I was just wondering.

I dont think its right to bomb and bail repeat. Thats very gamey. K/D is important to me, but score is not.

Maybe because you are reducing score to pure K/D. But that's only a small part in score, and if you are a runner, you will get a good K/D, but a bad K/T and probably a bad K/S too.

The importance of  K/D for a "good score" is usually vastly overrated.

And this one
See Rule #4

is a funny statement about "timid players" by someone bailing from his buffs to prevent a fight (and "giving them a kill")  ;)

OTOH you get completely unearned perks for resupplying a field, so it's kind of a wash. And it's hardly the worst choice this game presents between score and helping your team. Anyone who ups for field defense against heavy odds is hurting his score, but I have a lot more fun by not worrying about that.

Here's a thought. make strat buildings take 3'k to kill and spread them out. Then you would see guys going for score have to fight. instead of changing sides or waiting for strats behind their own lines. so they face no ememy. Can't do this add 5" manable guns at  strats . 1 each corner and hav3e he and aaa so gvs fear strat too. make it u want great bomb % for score you have to hit a town. then you'll see who might be good at bombing and fighting off cons. Not score with no chance of dying.
