fighter Ranking formula Modification

Pand would probably be fighter #1

Ehm, was in the top10 many times only flying an eny30 ride, sometimes in the top5 too...  ehm 

[save]

Some planes are at great disadvanage with hit %
FW190A5 is one of the worst flying with its historic package of 2* 151 2* FF 20mm and 2* 7.7mms

Also the Fw190A8R2 have a similar disadvantage.

[Randy1]

Save, I would think the spit with the 12 MG would be about the worst % hit plane. 

I know flying the P47, I am much more liberal with the lead showers than when I take out a Mustang.

[Vinkman]

I vote no.

HiTech

No on replacing or no on adding?

Can you share your thoughts on why? 

[hitech]

Can you share your thoughts on why? 

Yes I can.

HiTech

[Vinkman]

Yes I can.

Rats, out smarted again.

Would you share your thoughts on adding perks to the rank score?

[LCADolby]

Yes I can.

I have had some tours where I averaged over 12% in a P-47, but lately can't hit shat.

OK, you want to know who is best fighter pilot? Tell you what, you know how much ammo you have when you take off, all you have to do is count the ammo when you land vs number of kills! If you have no kills, bottom of the list! Have 4 kills and expended 650 rounds, go to head of list. I flew, or tried to fly wing one night with Pand, he landed 9 kills and had 40 rounds of .50 cal in a Bravo! If that isn't the best, I don't know what you would consider the best.

sounds like you are good bait  hahahaha



Ps... not taking away from Pand here...he is a good 51B driver....

If your goal is to have the score system change who is shown as a high ranking pilot. Your perk  idea would have very little effect.

Hitech,  Vinkman's idea does have some merit, but to make it measurable would take some thought.

Why do I think his idea has merit?  Simply, we would see more of the plane set put to use.  There are many subscribers that consider the rank system a measure of there performance against other players.  By changing the metrics a bit, we would certainly see more of the early/mid-war vehicles used on a frequent basis.  Which, would reflect HTC's hard work modeling those vehicles.

respectfully,

Pand is good, granted, (and a jolly nice chap,) but please think a little before you take someone's bait. I say because he isn't the best, and I'm sure he would accept that like I do.

the ranking system is not really a measure of their performance against other players but rather their skill in understanding how the ranking system works.

for example we had a couple of years ago a guy who flew the mossie a zillion straight missions bombing towns over a 2 day period without ending his sorty.  when he was tired he would take the mossie to a rear base and park in there.  he ended up in second place in attack mode only because the other guy captured 2 bases.  is avoiding combat a measure of his skill?

same thing while in fighter mode.  you will see more than a couple of fighter score hordes stay high above everybody and if anybody comes close they quickly move away.  they will only attack if sure it will get a killed and will really avoid combat at all costs.

do I think they are doing anything wrong?  nope, it's their 15 bucks, let them play the game as they enjoy it.  but changing the ranking system  is not gonna change how people play.  most couldnt care less if they rank 1000 or 1.
