Take a look at these stats and the rank that goes with them (Copied from pilot stats 15:15EDT 01/14/2001)

<:EDIT:>
These are FIGHTER RANKS ONLY. I know the differance between these and the other ranks for bombers and vehicles and how they all play into Overall Rank.
<:/EDIT:>

Fester
Kills / Deaths + 1: 64.0000
Kills / Sorties: 4.8302
Kills / Time online: 0.0031
Hit percentage: 0.1462
Points: 47117.4110

Fighter
Kills: 256
Assists: 29
Sorties: 53
Landed: 49
Bailed: 0
Ditched: 0
Captured: 0
Death: 2
Disco: 2
Time: 22:59:48
Rank: 5

Whels
Kills / Deaths + 1: 7.4444
Kills / Sorties: 2.3103
Kills / Time online: 0.0017
Hit percentage: 0.1289
Points: 21438.2554

Fighter
Kills: 134
Assists: 19
Sorties: 58
Landed: 37
Bailed: 1
Ditched: 3
Captured: 2
Death: 13
Disco: 2
Time: 22:24:52
Rank: 1

How does this work out? How does Whels get the number one spot over Fester with these stats?

If you look, you will see that Fester has better numbers in ALL the top and lower catagories except for Time, of which fester has 35 minutes more (Obiviously spent flying home from all those engagements, where Whels was sent to tower far more frequently)

Being that Fester is better in ALL catagories... how does HTC's calculation work to figure out ranks?

I am interested because I am trying to improve my stats and noticed I am 15th fighter rank, so I wanted to see who was #1. Saw Whels at the top and Fester at #5, so I got curious. This just doesn't look right if you ask me.

HTC.. can you explain how this works?

You are looking at fighter stats only, over all rank is a combination of the other 3 catagories also.

Quickdraw HiTech.

I am looking at Fighter Rank only also HiTech. This is not the overall ranks, meaning that in the Fighter Catagory, Fester should be ranked #1. Please look again.

HiTech, I think he was referring to only fighter rank. It would appear that Whels lags behind Fester in every category figured into fighter rank (K/D, K/S, K/T, Hit percentage), and yet Whels is ranked above him.

I think kills per time adn hit percentage has alot of bearing on rank. Are those fighter ranks or overall ranks?

whels has a total of 10 field captures while Fester has one. I think this somehow works it's way into it.

The difference is that Fester does not have any field captures in fighter mode.. However it's possible to get captures in fighters due to a bug in AH. If your goon dies after you drop the troops and you take off in a fighter before they run inside, you get a capture with the fighter in question. That boosts up your fighter rank quite nicely. I found that out on TOD 23 when I jumped from fighter rank 30 to 1 after a single field capture on fighter mode.

Look, Guys... These are FIGHTER RANKS ONLY.

This has nothing at all to do with the overall ranks. Please look again.

I understand Midnight, but like I said- I think field captures somehow compute into the fighter stats.

That is retarded. Why should field captures have anything to do with Fighter statistics?

Midnight, Stain, please re-read my post.. Field captures DO affect fighter ranking.

AKSWulfe · « **Reply #12 on:** January 14, 2002, 03:32:03 PM »

I don't write the code, I only made an logical guess.

HiTech, he is only looking at fighter ranks. And he's right.. something is screwey.

Its like the Fighter Stats are looking at a category that isn't listed. Maybe ground target damage like acks or something?

....or its possibly looking at a number from the wrong category.

The bottom line is that someone having better numbers in each and every "Fighter Stats" category should not be ranked behind someone else in the "Fighter Rankings".
