Agree with Voss.

The way the various Ranks is put together (by a number of entities) it is impossiple to see through the furball dust.What is wrong with simple and comprehensive stats on each plane (maybe as a supplement to the current).

And yes: have deleted 1 account today.Next about to go.

Come on guys, it is just a game! You should be here to have fun.

If you have fun by scoring points, play by the rules to maximize you points.

If you have fun flying plane "x" fly plane "x".

Of course, if you have fun whining because the rules don't let you score points flying plane "x", I guess you are free to whine  

I have fun flying (and getting shot down) in anything, anytime, anywhere as long as the flight model is "realistic"

Sorry, climbing for 20 minutes before fighting should not be rewarded.  That's not flying smart, that's flying BORING.  Parasitic tactics like that should be discouraged by the scoring system.

Deja, get a grip! I didn't come here to whine like lazs

Kinda think lazs and I are on the same page here.  Probably for slightly different reasons though.  Nice try by bringing that up.

Now.. as far as not coming here to whine:

I want it stopped.

I added the "now".  Guess that was uncalled for.  I'm sure you meant "I want it stopped... some day... if you don't mind".

Talk about needing to get a grip.

Kill red planes, tanks, boats. Have fun. Don't worry about the scorekeepers. Be your own judge of your performance. squeakin about what the other guy did or didn't get via his style of flying vs yours accomplishes nothin... and never will.

If yah wanna massage yer fat heads; do it behind closed doors and spare us all the embarrasment of your dissapointment.

Well well....

Looks like another thread full of "you should fly like I do".

This is my routine:

Take off, point nose towards large red sector bars. Engage auto climb.

Proceed to the basement (my wifey won't let me smoke upstairs   )and fire up a Winston.

Return to puter and go level to engage all of the bad guys....alt of entry into fight on average, 15k-18k. Not 30k or 25k.

HTC rewards balanced game play...they want folks to get involved...the last thing he needs is folks that fly to live...never be any fights in their opinion.

Do I think the scoring system is fair? Probably. Does it reward someone like me who doesn't fly buffs or drive things with tires and tread or that floats? Not really. He did implement seperate cats for fighters which is good.

I agree with Voss that it's strange to find pilots with low k/d's and low k/s's but that rank high because they get kills quickly and then die.

I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never rank highly again...chk my ranking for tours previous to tour 10...I know how to get there, just not interested anymore.

I try hard to get along with everyone...too bad it's not a two way street with some of you

fscott, you better get busy!    

Rip, did lazs give you a piece of his blanket?    

<edit>
fats2, (interesting) score has a lot to do with rank, and thus perks. We should have a level field with all other users. We won't, since we are dedicated to the Mustang. That's just not right.

Deja, you still don't get it. I was refering to the pursuit of squad rank. I was not demanding HT change anything. I point out that another approach might make more people happy, make things more lucrative, and make the ranks even more accurate.

I think you go around trying to find fault in what people say (or at least Voss), and I don't know why you have to do that. No hard feelings.

Next camp I'll hunt you up so you can experience my ACM first hand. It'll be fun for both of us and maybe then you'll be a friend. lazs is a lost cause.

Vulcan, do you have a stage act?
