HT you are ranking this all WRONG!

[Pongo]

Voss your score in fighters is being hurt by your 2.5% accuracy not your kills per time.

voss... SA?   I allways know when P51's are around but like most fighter pilots I don't care unless I am alone and crippled and on the deck....

Look.... I can't help you with your personality but I can comprimise on the scoring thing... How bout.... We havb a seperate category for "best P51 squad"?

Pongo, I know. I've been away too long and I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Gunning ack, shooting through wind shear, and a few other things that I have never done before, ain't helping. The purpose of this thread is not to complain about my personal performance (which will improve), but to point out that the system in place needs adjustment.

Regardless, of what these few punks that have countered my position have said, I made a valid point. Anyone in this game has the right to voice their opinion here. It seems there are a few jerks that like to see their agenda in the forefront, as they engage in nothing but suppression strikes on the UBB. They are more WRONG then the ranks.

Education and intelligence seldom present enlightenment.

You of course must accept that your agenda will be recognised(or guessed at) by the people that respond to your thread. If all you want is people to aggree with you your in the wrong place.
Accuracy in fighters is a huge thing in this game.
Some of your squad is like currently mediocre me at 5.5 %. You can get the job done there but not with the kind of sureity that you need. Many are in the 7% area which is really the sweet spot for being able to call your shots and predict the result. a few are in the deadly 10+ % range.
Best way to improve your gunnery is the TA. You dont get to shoot enought here to learn quick enough, especialy if you have "shy" flying style.
I dont think anything is more rewarding than watching that score go up. Good luck.

And here I see some realism advocates standing up for a scoring system that promotes quake-type flying of launch, kill, die, launch, kill, die, ad nauseum.

CavemanJ, that's utterly false.  The current ranking system seems to take into account all statistics.  If you die a lot, you are going to have a low kill/death ratio and this will hurt you.  Just like having a low kill/time ratio will hurt you if you are too timid.  Just like being a one-dimensional pilot (never bombing or helping out with ground vehicles or troop delivery) will hurt you, because that doesn't help your country much.

Now if you want to talk about the perk point system, that's a different story.  The perk point system seems to be just plain silly.  But the rankings are pretty fair IMHO.  Good all-around pilots and playes are rewarded over players with limited skills.
