Could someone please explain exactly how the scoring system works.
Ive spent the last few tours trying to work it out, Ive trolled the forums and cant find the exact answer I require.
I want to know if K/D ratio is the main factor that increases your rank.
For instance, is it better to fly a high eny plane and increase your points, or is it better to fly a perked plane and have a high K/D ratio.
Exactly how are the rankings weighted? Is it better to fly 1 sortie and have 10 kills, or fly 100 sorties and have 300 kills?
Under attack will my rank improve if I have more damage points from jabo missions, or should I concentrate on just my K/D ratio?
Do kills of GVs count in the K/D ratio? Does your killls per sortie have any effect ie. should I land those three kills or rearm and reup?
For bombers is damage per death, or total points or number of kills the determing factor.
Is the list of factors under pilot stats the order of importance??
Please do not hijack this thread with score potato comments, or the inane dont worry about your score just have fun.
I dont worry about my score or rankings, I just play the game to the best of my abilties. I know the best way to improve rankings is to improve in all areas of the game. I enjoy defending, taking bases, trying to win the war, and getting better at that will improve my rankings.
However I love solving problems and puzzels, and exactly how the scoring system works is puzzling, and ive spent far to much time trying to work it out so have given up and asked for your help!
If however you would like to comment on how scoring system affects game play then I would also be interested in your replies.
For instance, I think more weighting should be placed on kill points to encourage higher eny planes, or at least encourage you to fly more missions. I see some players have only 5-6 missions but a high ratio and ranking, but surely a more valuable player will have flown 100s of missions per tour!
Damage points for attack scores should be more important than K/D ratio to encourage jabo missions. I spent 1 tour dropping a huge number of bombs and at 1 point was in the top 50 for damage points, but ack, 2nd tier, ordinace heavy planes hurt my K/D ratio to 1.00 and so I ranked over 1000.
Bombers are easy to rank highly in by increasing damage points, (milkruns) yet im totaly useless at shooting down planes, should more weight be placed on kills? I simply dont know enough of GVs scoring to even comment.
Sorry for such a long thread and I thank you in advance for your replies.
