Minimum Number of Sorties Required for score?
« on: January 16, 2010, 12:57:55 PM »
Does it make sense to have a minimum number of sorties per catagory required before score is calculated?  Say 15, maybe 20 sorties minimum per catagory.

Are you suggesting it be like a golf handicap?

It makes a 3 hour round of golf last around about 6 hours...and makes golfers think golf is about getting a little white ball into a hole and counting the strokes it takes to do it. 

As to the minimum sortie question, isn't this already a part of the scoring ranking system?  Aren't say "Kill Points" counted in to stop players from flying one sortie and being ranked #1 on the strength of it?

I'd guess that he's suggesting that the guys who get a few awesome flights in at the beginning of the TOD - then fly "attack" the rest of the month - not show in the rankings.

I don't care either way (personally).   

One of the few useful things about how it is now is that if you are a fighter pilot that does a single milk run in the other categories, you can sometimes wrest the carrier away from some dope who wants to beach it under the shore battery before it gets sunk.

There already is a minimum:  1

Seems to work fine to me.
