Author Topic: Perks to affect K/D ratio. (Read 695 times)

This is put forward as an idea. Whinestapo members please goose step out right now. Auf Wiedersehen Herr Oberleutnant!

The ENY rating system means that if you shoot down a 'superior' plane with an 'inferior' one, you get more perk points. It's a good incentive.

What if doing so was also reflected in your K/D ratio on a sliding scale? E.g., shooting down a P51 in a 202 would be counted as 1.5 kills and the P51 driver would score 1.5 deaths for permitting such humiliation. If the P51 driver shoots down the 202 he gets only 0.75 (or something) of a kill and the 202 pilot only rates 0.75 of a death.

I feel that would result in a more diffuse range of planes being seen in the AW skies - which is what most people seem to want.

Constructive replies only please. No, Herr Oberleutnant, you CAN NOT come back in.

you spend too much time worried about score......

kill 1 plane get 1 kill recorded..........

we need no affirmitive action programs for early war birds

we need no welfare perk system for late war planes

No equalitarianism in ah

Life is unfair so is ah ............so what..........

No free lunch

So everything is perfect because you say so. I do NOT worry about my score. So you disagree with the suggestion. Why not just say so? Remarks about life being unfair and 'no free lunch' are simply juvenile.

Wotan · « **Reply #3 on:** January 27, 2002, 01:01:19 PM »

i did say so.....

are you blind.....?

every week you come with some "suggestion" each one more dumb then the one before.

You made the post if you cant deal with what others think about your "suggestions" dont make umm.

If you weren't worried about your score then why would be worried about how k/d is scored.

Now you resort to name calling because I think your "suggestion" is stupid. Just like your perk whine.

No free lunch.....even for guys with dumb "suggestions"

I agree with Wotan.

1 kill == 1 kill

If you killed a vastly superior aircraft than the aircraft you were flying, congratulations, enjoy the feeling of the accomplishment and the extra perk points but don't expect a better K/D because of it.

Yep, 1 kill = 1 kill, but killing a Typh in your 202 could give you more points, not useless perkpoints, just normal points.

That is the point I was making.

Wotan, that's a nasty case of chip on shoulder and personality disorder you've got there.
Things are so because you say so. Suggestions you don't agree with are dumb. Why are you so aggressive? Can't you make your point of view known without laying down the law each time and slagging off ANYONE who suggests ANY change to the status quo.

When we were young we got all our nourishment at our mothers' breast. It was fine at the time. I suspect you are still there. Post a pic.

i told you my opinion if you dont like it dont read it.

who did I say i am speaking for?

where did I say I spoke for anyone?

all your suggestions have the same theme.

well my opinion is ......

No free lunch................

reread what you wrote and what mandoble wrote..........

thats hardly your point.........

you made the "suggestion" I told you what I (me not anyone but me) thought of it.

You attempted to insult me and apparently had trouble comprehending that I was opposed to your "suggestion" so I spelled it out as clear as can be

1 kill = 1 kill

anything else is stupid...........

What ever complex you have as to my dislike for your "suggestions" is in your head..

where in this post is there any claim of authority or where is it I am speaking for any body else.

Your the one bringing euro-trash style socialism into ah

"more perks awarded to those who don't have the skill to earn umm"

"1 1/2 kills for guys who are at a disadvantage because of the planes they choose to fly"

My response ...........No free lunch.....

I agree 1 kill = 1 kill recorded no need to massage the figures.

But as i appear to be the only one so far to actually read your post accurately, i feel its academic as I dont give a sheet whats happening in AW as i am flying AH

yep... like things to mean what they say. kills per death should remain kills per death. Start a whole new stat if you wish but leave something as simple as kills per death alone.

What's next, a modifiyer for K/T? the slower planes get a higher scale? How bout gunnery?

So said the virgin on high school:

If I do with the schools gardener, I will be 0.5 pregnant.
If I do it with the captain of the football team, I will be 1.5 pregnant.

What is this roadkill? You knew you would get flamed and thought you would sling some toejam first?

A kill is a kill; a kill is not 1.5 kills.

I agree with T-Jay! Great Idea but as you can see it is ingested by some and then out spews hostility.

TJay, keep on thinking and fowarding your ideas. I realize you are attempting to make the game better. Some personalities just try to crap on any type of idea that they are not in 100% agreement with. They are the "tunnel-visioners"! But they are needed also. Sota of like a "checks and balances" technique. I for one would much rather read someone's idea, regardless of quality, than to listen to someone's negitivity. Which is the attitude present on this particular post.

I also believe 'a kill is a kill", but your idea would show more non-uber aircraft in the arena. Most people who fly here are more intrested in the K/D than the perk. So your idea has merit but it will not be accepted. Good try, though and keep them coming!!

CavemanJ · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2002, 11:57:51 AM »

Poony did you actually think about what you were saying when you were typing? Or were you just jumping to the aid of someone who stepped on his own meat with this suggestion?

If you start a sliding scale for K/D based on which kite yer flyin you destroy that stat, period.

There's already a sliding scale on the perk system and IMO it works nicely, though also IMO it still needs a few tweaks here and there.

The reason you don't see people flying the "non-uber" kites is because, first and foremost, they want to kill. They're going to grab the kite that will let them kill the highest number of kites before they are shot down themselves.

Tjay I want some of what you were smokin and not sharing when ya came up with this one
