Incorrect again. You'r ignoring how BADLY your example player would rank in the points category. There is no way you can be toward the top of ranking if you completely ignore one catagory.
HiTech
My example IS rank 1 in kill points right now, we talking about the same thing?
Fighter Scores
Score Rank
Kills per Death + 1 3.55 37
Kills per Sortie 2.21 17
Kills per Hour of Flight 11.88 10
Kills Hit Percentage 11.26 34
Kill Points 55801.01 1
Fighter Scores
Score Rank
Kills per Death + 1 24.00 2
Kills per Sortie 2.40 15
Kills per Hour of Flight 6.19 84
Kills Hit Percentage 12.06 30
Kill Points 19972.67 11
Kills per hour of flight vs Kills per death....these are PERFECT examples of what I was talking about...one player is obviously more conservative (notice kills per hour of flight) in their way to approach fighter mode and they take a hit in 2 categories in particular. The other is more aggressive so he takes a hit on K/D, another thing of note is that player doesn't often hunt bombers so his accuracy would be a lot higher but that player also has VERY good aim compared to the general population(maybe why you were calling him a bad example?).
Fighter Scores
Score Rank
Kills per Death + 1 28.00 1
Kills per Sortie 28.00 1
Kills per Hour of Flight 12.38 8
Kills Hit Percentage 26.45 2
Kill Points 11693.86 43
current rank 1....notice the 43 for kill points.(1 sortie...)
Now I know a lot would say this is a rare incident but there's plenty of examples I could take from a handful of pilots in the last 4 years that got top 50 doing a very similar style(Few sorties lots of kills in single sortie...lets call it a 'certain' sortie because they are very certain they will land a lot of kills)....and I'm willing to bet a lot of them were landing big sorties killing the same person either upping on a field or just off a field....which sparked my suggestion.
BTW I'm not saying ignore a particular category but letting off in kill points is definitely the one to do it in....maybe that ties to veteran(good pilots) not having too much time to play so theres less competition in that category....notice the difference between one and 11 and 43...
