Hit % and points increase greatly when attacking bombers. Thats why so many 262 and Temp sticks have a lot of points with not that many kills, but yes, killkng bombers are important for helping to achieve a higher rank all around, espcially if you can kill them quickly and land.

I don't believe many players are utilizing re-arm as much as some might perceive. Re-arming also takes quite a bit of time to fly back to the field, re-arm and take off, so it may negatively impact your K/H, also, if you only have 2 kills, re-arm, and then say get only 2 more, you are going to take a big hit to K/H and its not going to impact your overall score that much. You are much much better off getting 4-6 kills in one sortie and landing, than re-arming and only getting 3-5 kills. These days, I hardly ever see players get more than 8 kills in a plane, and I can bet you they arent re-arming in that sortie.

I agree that HTC probably won't code any changes to points or anything, these are just things i understand about scoring over the years that would be nice to change, but knowing it won't happen.

Just because a song appears on the Billboard Hot 100 doesn't mean its singer has the best voice. Often, there are voices that have been crafted to be famous and appear there. Although sometimes, a Michael Jackson, Prince, or Rolling Stones appears, and in that case, yes. The gods do appear on the list.

Showing up in the first, i.e. 20 first positions only means you`re good at playing for score. Nothing else. And it's just another legitimate way out of others 100 to get your dopamine dosis in AH.

There are lots of other reputational areas which don't show up in the score: People who flies "X plane"  the best. People whoa are really good in almost every plane. People who flies outnumbered. Pleople who get fields, people who.....There are so many legitimate ways to get your daily dopamine dosis here  :cheers:
