Kill/Death busted... or?

[Wotan]

see my post on "air points"

the death multiplier is only factored in at the end of a sortie

be it .ef or crash bail etc.......

if you bail in friendly territory and get "You have bailed successfully"
then you multiply by .5

If you bail and dont open chute or are some how killed on your chute it counts just as a death and there is no multiplier.

if u auger or crash with out an nme getting a kill msg (proxy or otherwise) you will get a multiplier of .25 (text msg could say "you have crashed" or "you have been killed"

if you bail or ditch in enm territory you will get text msg "You have been captured" and the multiplier will be  0.4

If you ditch and get a "you have ditched" msg then the multiplier will be .75

This multipliers are only used as part of the equations in determining you total "air point" score for that sortie which gets added to you overall air point total.


I hope I am explaining it clear

OK, I think I get it. The Death Multiplier only affects points. It has no effect on K/D ratio?

And am I right in thinking that in the bottom line of the K/D ratio formula, which states that Deaths are (Discos x 0,5 + bails + captures + deaths + 1) a bail that resulted in a capture would be be counted as 2 (one each) and a bail over friendly territory resulting in a 'You have bailed successfully', would be counted as just one?

Thanks in advance.

Oops, I see that Wotan has confirmed this even while I was editing the post. Thanks.

But does this not mean that if you are shot down over nme territory and bail you get TWO deaths added to the bottom line, whereas if you ride the ship into the ground you only get ONE  for dying? Perhaps a bail resulting in a capture just counts as one?

my bad mate k/d equation is as follows

Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)

in this equation lets  this is you

9 kills
4 sorties
1 Capture
1 Ditch
1 Disco
1 Death

it would look as follows

k/d= 9total kills/(1total disco *0.5) + 1 total bail + 1 total capture + 1 total death = 1)

in this equation the only multiplier is the 0.5 * total discos

No other multiplier is relevant and the death multiplier are only used in determining   "air points".

They have no use in determining kills to death.

HUMPF!

The scores I posted IS for points, it determines your K/D etc for flying, the perk points are totally different!

Urchin, if you don't belive me go to this address "http://www.hitechcreations.com/scoring.html" and read about it.
I'm very aware of the perk points syste, with landing meaning multipy with 1.25 etc. But what I posted has got nothing to do with perks, atleast look at the page before saying I am wrong please

humpf

but you kd equation is simplied

1 means your kills are multiplied by one, 10 kills 0 deahts = 10x1 = 10K/D.

 

to be more correct you would need to read my highly accurate thread....

Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)

9 kills
4 sorties
1 Capture
1 Ditch
1 Disco
1 Death

9/((1*0.5)+0+1+1+1)

9/3.5 = 2.5714xxxxx etc

Not claiming my calculations are right, just that my post was right with those numbers
