Your in the beginning of the month score gets harder and harder as more play.

Not really. I anticipated the "You can't do it, so your argument is invalid" retort. I failed to think two steps ahead and did not anticipate the "It's early in the month; you didn't prove anything" retord. Shame on me. However, the answer is still....not really. However, I am not going to waste away another 20 days guarding score in order to prove to you that in fact it's easy to keep an overall good score, so I guess you will just have to take my word for it.

AH score is serious business. It directly relates to ones uberness or lack there of. If you're above 1000 you suck and below 100 you are really really good.  :bolt:

It would be interesting if everyone in the MA actually played for score.......  Would there ever be a fight under 30k?  lol  I would venture to say anyone who has a score over 100 doesnt even care what their score is.  It is a lot of work to make sure you do all the little score boosting parts of the game.

Ranks  count  only when you need the Carrier to go the way you need it to be.   Otherwise some unprepared guy takes control with no purpose,  almost getting it sunk attacking a field with no  mission to back his play to make it a success.

The thrust of the CV meanwhile was needed elsewhere.


Then to me, Ranks count.

Ranks  count  only when you need the Carrier to go to a base you need it to be at.  Otherwise some unprepared guy with a lower rank takes control,  almost getting it sunk attacking a field with no  mission to back his play to make it a success. 

The thrust of the CV meanwhile was needed elsewhere.  Yes this happens often.


In that context, Ranks and score certainly count!

If some 6 month noob can manipulate the score to be ranked 11th it shows that rank/score does not matter.

Ummm... I thought there were only 10 people playing for score this camp... guess it was 11.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

 :rofl :rofl :rofl a few tours ago i wanted to prove that you didnt need to score ho to become a top 25 player. With a Win teh Warz attitude mixed with the will to do anything necessary to accomplish an overall goal and some great dogfighting skills get you a place in top 25 easily... the reason score is so easily manipulated is because people choose to not fight for the top place. if everyone in the game had that same attitude i showed for a month the scoreboard will be a free for all...

pap johns as your score doctor your Kills per hour in both fighter and attack are sucking horribly.  Also you haven't captured any bases and this will drag you right down at the end of the month!

I'd put you only top 100 if you don't knuckle down and try harder.
