fighter Ranking formula Modification

[Slade]

Can you clarify if this is factored into rank (just curious):

1. You see red guys on radar.
2. You up a plane from the closest base and head to engage them.
3. When you get there they are gone.

Is the time you spent heading to a battle that will never occur factored into ones rank?

If yes...why?

Thanks,

It effects your "Kills per Hour of Flight" portion of the score.

If you up a base under attack and get 20 kills in an hour but die 40 times they off set a bit with the "kills to death" category.

Remember, all "score" categories can be "adjusted" by how you fly. Don't use score as a guide to how your doing compared against others. Just play your game and compare your score against your score to see how your improving.

I personally don't care how I rank "overall" in a given category, but do use Kill per Death as my per personal metric of success.  My gunnery has always been respectable enough for me is I guess Hit % is a metric to a smaller extent.

I don't measure my success against other players - just against my personal goals.

Ditto.  It was simply a curiosity.
