:rofl  Dodge?   Lets get it from the horses mouth since now you want to represent the lollipop guild

You are still doing it.

You are claiming you know exactly how "we" achieve our top ranks (putting totally players like Grizz, pacerr, Snailman & Shuffler in the same basket). When being asked how, you dodge.

And I'm not representing anyone but me.

So you gonna answer my question, or do you just continue ranting?

 :rofl  My word against yours, a pissing match?    We can do this all day.  

Instead, if you choose to.  You can state how "you" do "it".   Convince everyone that "dont know" that what your doing is clearly not gaming the game if you will.

So, either put up or shut up.  Your explanation will be interesting to say the least of how "you" do "it".  

While I am out for lunch, this should give you plenty of time to give us the know how......... :rolleyes:

 :lol

You should heed your own words. You made claims, not me. You are saying I am gaming the game... so do explain how. I was the one asking you a question, you refused to answer.

Troll on! :)

I know how Lusche does it... at least in a tank. 

He's got the optics down cold, and one of the few times I ventured into a tank he killed me from if I remember right between 4 and 5 KM out.  It's been a while, but I think I it was on the 3rd shot - what I mostly remember was I hadn't even figured out what general direction whatever was shooting me was by the time I was dead.

Folks can argue that they are lame for doing so, but one thing I know for sure is that the guys who end up on the "front page" do so by do being far far better at most of the game - and perhaps everything in the game - than I'll probably ever be.

So... if that's their thing, so be it, more power to them.  If it happens to 'em by accident, so be it, cudos.  And if there are plenty of players better than one or some of them that don't, then... so be it.

That's embarrassing  :cry
171 kills with 21 deaths in 79 fighter sorties is very respectable for mid war.

It really matters little to me whether it is changed or not.  I stopped looking at my score to see how I compare with others, and instead use it to earmark areas I want to improve.  The game became way more fun for me at this point.  Now I just find red guys and engage them with no worries about what's going to happen to my score.  The funny thing is, my score has actually improved.  My .02 cents~

In place of score, how about we have a peer-awarded kudos system each month - you see some guy pull some physics defying maneuver to reverse on to your six, you give him a big salute and award kudos. Player with most kudos awaded at the end of the month gets their name in lights on the web page...

If nothing else, it should make for some fun times on 200.  :D

Ok.. I am amongst "them"... which way I do achieve my #1 rank?

You tell me. A minimum shorty number would not effect you, would it?  Counting vulches as attack would not effect you would it?  Sooooo, whats the problem here?  Lets make score mean something and i will be happy to try for it.

Extra ataboys if the sheep are happy.

My trick in LW is upping a fighter plane where there are a lot of bad guys and shooting down as many as I can.  It's pretty gamey I know.

15 or 20? I just took a look and seems like it needs to be 40-50 sorties in Fighter Mode to get scored......3-4 people seem to have 30-40 sorties in fighter mode a tour for the last 4 tours......makes score weak

 :salute

Maybe that's just the amount of times they've upped a fighter or just don't have the time.  I know I have less than 30 fighter sorties this tour in the MW, which is where I usually spend most of my time.
