Modifications to Fighter Scoring system.

Nah, when you connect with the tater you miss with most of your secondary guns.  There is no hit percentage advantage whatsoever from flying a tater plane.

You fire your secondary guns?

I thought most K4 pilots just tossed the rock when they had a sure shot, and used the MGs for harrassment seperately.

I disagree.

Example: I kill a formation of Lancs in a P-47. I spend 1200 rounds and hit with 60% (= 720 hits). Then I kill 3 fighters in a 109K, firing tater only. I use all 65 rounds and get 3 hits (=5%)
My total hit % is
723 hits out of 1265 rounds fired = 57%

Now what happens if I had used the 109K vs buffs and the 47 vs fighters?
109K vs bombers: 60% hits with taters = 39 hits. Assuming 1200 shots fired again by the P47 (this time against fighters) and getting 10% hits (=120 hits)
My total hit % is 159 out of 1265 rounds fired = 13%. Even though I had a better hit% in the 47vs the fighters than in the 109K.

30MM gunnery became easier for me once i got a grasp of the relationship between the tater and the bb's. I use the bb's to tell me if im long or short with my lead.

Yeah I fire em all.  I have no reason to save the secondary ammo so I use it.  Especially in the Ta152, those 20mms do serious damage if you miss with the tater.  I know for a fact I'd rack a higher hit percentage in a 50 cal plane assuming I held fire on 400yd+ deflection shots... those are the shots that kill the hit % in 50 cals.  If you are careful on what shots you take though, you could easily rack up a 20%+ hit %.

Well, how about I withdraw my request to remove any categories and simply wish for "perks earned" to be added?
