score

[Lusche]

Well some adjustments are needed anyhow,

Are they?

I'm quite sure veterans of this game would be objective and honest for the most part!

Sorry, but... 

[JUGgler]

Are they?

Sorry, but...  

Well the perfect and probably most intense example of ENY shortcomings would be........................... .........drum roll......................... ............................. ............................. ................BF109K4 at 20...... NJUG at 5?

Now in a perfect game environment based on realism and paralleling WW2 I'd say these #s were fine, BUT when virtually everything in AH is done below 5K OR gets below 5K in a BIIIIIIIIIIG hurry I'd say these #s do not reflect the NORMAL advantages and disadvantages of either plane. IF and this is a HUGE GIANT IF the normal operating alt of AH was above 20K maybe approaching 25-30K then I would gladly and emphatically agree the ENY for both of these planes is accurate. But since I am quite capable in either ride I say in the current AH environment the K4 OWNS with little problem the NJUG. These are just 2 examples. Now mind you I am not complaining about the "uber K4" I enjoy the ride very much but once tater tossing is learned the K4 truely becomes awesome indeed. In other words, me in a K4 destroys me in an NJUG, and I will say I am probably better with the NJUG!

So YES I'd say there could be a few changes with little argument!
 Unless ofcourse arguing is the goal  


And YES I think the "oldschool" folks would be very honest about realistic "game based" ENY changes!

K$ and all

I think the N jugs# refers to its ability to carry ords not as a fighter.

[guncrasher]

Does score factor in ENY? If not, why?

It seems to me that it should. Score should be calculated at the end of each flight as it is now, then multiplied by ENY of the vehicle you had chose for the sortie.

Just a thought, see you dweebs next month

it will give an a great advantage in score to people who are already good in high eny planes.  btw which planes do your squadies fly most?  this will greatly improve their score not that they actually need it as they're high skilled anyway.

a better system would be to get points with based on the rank of the player you shot down.  you kill a good pilot, you get more points you kill a two week player you will get a lot less.

How will this work? If you're #17 in on the good pilot why should you be rewarded?

i also shoot down a lot of double digit rank midgets... without a lot of effort at times... 

these are perk points being talked about tho', right, not kill points (which count towards rank)?

use the current base scoring of now but you know that eny multiplier that you were talking about?  well base the multiplier on the player score.  separate the multiplier by 3 types, attack/fighter, bomber and gv.

you will get a score "bonus" based on the rank of the player you killed, with 2 exceptions.  no bonus score for killing bombers or gv's.  you dont want somebody bombing dr7 and land a zillion points and bombers are too easy to kill unless you find 999.

it's not perfect as some people only fly in fighter mode or attack mode regardless so their "rank"  may be lower.  but I would also suggest to get rid of "fighter" score mode and just have attack mode, bomber and gv.

just something else to think about juggler  .

How about flagging the top ten pilots by score in a current tour, so that next tour, if you down one you get something extra 
Perhaps something in their icon to identify them as a top 10
Sorry juggler I'm pretty dunk it's a bad idea

funny though, people would be making sure they weren't top ten.

[save]

What about setting the ENY depending on what the score was from last month from that particular planetype ?

Not having a special icon wouldn't be bad either, just a few extra perkies and a message letting you know you shot down a top10

Even if I would agree with the "honest" part, it doesn't mean just because someone has been here for 5 years or more his opinions, thoughts and reasoning (if any) make more sense. You can fly for 10 years and still be thick like a brick
 And what worth is judgement of planes based on blurry 10 year old experiences?

ENY is about much more than score, as it's also a gameplay balancer (ENY limit). The 110G and the Lancaster do not have a low ENY because of their great score...
