Total Sorties

[Slade]

Hello,

Its cool to see messages when people get 2+ kills.

Could we plz have an indicator to show how may sorties it took to get them if more than 1?

EDIT
Maybe something as simple as 4[2], i.e. 4 kills in 2 sorties.



Thanks,

Slade

When one reloads without towering, is not that
counted as a single sortie?
-1

A sortie (in real life) is every time a plane leaves the ground.  If one rearms that skews this fact.  That is OK, some folks like to do this. 

I'd like to know when someone gets 2-10 kills how many sorties it took.

Why not ask them?

I once logged into an arena and from the first login tower way in the backfield of my country, saw a player rearming his 262. When he landed 20 kills later, I asked him on range how many times he re-armed. He replies that he didn't re-arm. Players obviously want some privacy while it's obvious players are not choir boys. Isn't it the player who lands the kills business how he did it as long as he didn't violate any rules?

I'm willing to bet that 98% of players don't rearm on a daily basis. It's not even worth it.

When they lie to you it lets you know them better.

A game sortie is simply a scoring device that represents keeping your aircraft in flyable condition until you land. That may be why kills per hour is also a scoring metric.

When wishing it helps if you explain how the wish improves the game since changes require work from HiTech.

I write a lot of code.  A LOT of code.  I have written books on programming (see oracledba.help).  I respect all the hours the developers put into this game and the quality of work they put out.  They are the best of the best in my view. 

Relatively speaking, this is not a whopper to code.  Not asking to remap and compact video memory pixel-by-pixel or the like.


It would be a nice feature I think.  I think many would like to see it also rather than not.

Thanks.

When the wish slides to 'spokesman-ship for many', it portrays a false gravity. Especially when such is yet to be evident. However, I would still like to see the 'why' in this wish.

Why is it desirable? What does it accomplish?

Accurate size comparison.

You can usually figure it out depending on airframe and environment.  If you see player X land 23 kills in anything they probably rearmed.

[Lusche]

Actually you want to change the AH definition of a sortie.

[Slade]

Sorry if I was politically incorrect.  I apologize.

I think it would be a nice data point.  Cool stat.  I love stats!  That this would be relatively ez to code is even better.

Thanks for your interest in it.

1 up + 1 down =  one sortie.. 
Google is your friend...

except in the game. One sortie is you can land and launch as many times as you want with the same plane. Once you tower out either on your own or with help from someones guns then that one sortie ends.
