I have to differ with that but at the same time, you're no dweeb.  When I get home in 2 weeks I'll run a ditch test.

Not entirely true. A "ditch" is not a death for K/D purposes. It has the same effect as a safe landing for all "/D" score categories.

See Rule #4

For example, take my current tour.

I have 165 kills in fighter mode. 3 "ditch" and 8 "death".

If the ditch would count as death too, I would have a k/d of  165/(3+8+1) = 13.75
But actually my K/D is shown to be 18.33 - wich is exactly 165/(8+1).

So you see, the ditches didn't count as deaths for k/d computation.


And this is the formula from the official HTC help pages:

Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)

I guess the alternative would be not "pulling the ripcord".  All to hear people whine?
