Lets Simplify This

[Bruv119]

I thought you guys had the DA and KOTH and the Dueling Ladder to prove to each other how big yours is.

yep and when the results of those proved Un-satisfactory on to the next bright idea.   

I just look forward to a day when the preachers stop preaching and we all get along and have fun without the name calling and whining.

Until we perk the pilot,  we will see mainly late 44-1945 birds in LWA.

Doing so will have the unfortunately effect of killing the revenue for HTC.

Any veteran pilot can do well in a LA-7, not so many can do likewise in a Hurricane-1 many VS many typical dogfight in LWA.

FWIW the ranking system is clearly about results not method.

The logic  from the OP would also require that scores were biased by ride type an possibly pay load choice when considering attack, bomber and vehicle  scores.

Why would that be a bad thing?  Score directly relates to rank.  Why shouldn't #1 actually be the "best"?

The more categories used to determine score, the more difficult it is to game.

Did I say anything was good or bad?

I think it would be easy. Just using current evy. So the difference in eny ='s a score. In these example winner is first eny given: 5eny vs 5eny= 1 30eny vs 5 eny =25. 5eny vs 30eny = .166

Perhaps rank is overrated and it is the pursuit of rank that is the issue here.

If I can kill something in my Hurri 1 I'm happy!

Why not hide the scores from the players until the tour is over?

The simplest way to implement would be to add ENY/Kill to fighter score.  Every kill in a numerically higher ENY plane would help boost your score.


For example:  A player with 99 kills in a P-40C and 1 kill in a Tempest would have a ENY/Kill of almost 40.  Another player with 99 kills in a P-51D and 1 kill in a C.202 would have an ENY/Kill of barely over 5.0.  The first player would have a higher fighter rank, all else being equal.


Another worthy score parameter to include would be Assists/Death, meaning the average number of players required to kill you.  If you normally are easily bested by any pilot in a fair fight, your Assists/Death would be close to 0.  Now if you are flying into clouds of red or are simply very good, it will take more pilots to bring you down.  The higher the number, the better your score. 


Kills/ENY and Assists/Death, added to the other fighter score parameters, would more realistically represent skill in the MA.

only half the story. ENY you kill and ENY you fly both count. Perks does that calculation already. Just ADD PERKS earned to the Rank score.

at what point in your fantasy world did you come up with this....lets look at the real world. in real military,rank and promotions are NOT entirely based on performance. in sports rank or value is NOT based solely on performance.....if it did, no great player would ever be traded unless he was injured. in the work place position(rank) and pay are NOT based soley on performance....just ask any multi-million dollar exec at a large company, and the guy on the line who is doing the work and who comes up with a million dollar idea.. about the pay scale.  face it,life is not fair. and in this GAME there is already a system in place that addresses your question....its the perk point system.....kill a me262 in a ki-43 get more perks than kill a ki-43 in an me262.    you get perk points.  perk points dont have a bearing on rank.  no one is making your fly the planes or gv's...its YOUR choice.  why should you be rewarded with a higher rank when you can choose what plane or gv you are using?

Because Perks are not a reward if you don't fly perk planes.
