Seeking Jabo advice

[VWE001]

First off I play all aspects of this game and have most of it down pat with the exception of attack. This past week I have had some really good luck in taking out GV's, in one mission a couple of nights back I killed this one guy 5 times in about 5 minutes cause he kept popping up in an M3. My K/D in attack is higher than my K/D as a fighter but I don't ever seem to move very far up in my rankings for attack. So my question is what should I really focus on for the attack mission? Should my primary focus be on structures with GV's being secondary? Also after a quick run I'll usually land and go sit on a pad to reload, is there really an advantage to using the same plane for as long as possible or is it better to go back to the hanger and re-up fresh?

For attack rank you must also kill structures. Kill VH field once a day incl the fuel/barrack/ack and you will be rank 30- in no time.

Attack rank is made up from 10 different categories 5 air 5 ground.

Air Categories
Kills per Death
Kills per Sortie
Kills per Time
Hit percentage
Air points


Air Categories

Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)
Kills per Sortie = TotalKills / TotalTourSorties
Kills per Time = TotalKills / TotalTourSortieTime
Hit percentage = TotalTourBulletsHit / TotalTourBulletsUsed
Air points = PlaneDamageScore + KillScore


Ground Categories
Damage per Death
Damage per Sortie
Bombing percentage
Ground points
Field captures

Ground Categories

Damage per Death = TotalDamage / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)
Damage per Sortie = TotalDamage / TotalTourSorties
Bombing percentage =
(TotalTourBombsHit + TotalTourRocketsHit + TotalTourTorpedosHit) /
(TotalTourBombsUsed + TotalTourRocketsUsed + TotalTourTorpedosUsed)
Ground points =
(DamagePointsScoredOnObjectsTh isSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourDamagePointsScoredOn Objects +
(DestroyedPointsScoredOnObject sThisSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourDestroyedPointsScore dOnObjects
Field captures = FieldCapturesThisSortie + TotalTourFieldCaptures

Heres the break down
TotalKills are just air-to-air kills for fighter missions, air-to-air + air-to-ground kills for all other mission types.
 
PlaneDamageScore =
(DamagePointsScoredOnEnemiesTh isSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourPlaneDamageScoredOnE nemies
 
KillScore =
((AirKillsThisSortie * 1.0) + (AirAssistsThisSortie * 0.25) +
(GroundKillsThisSortie * 1.0) + (GroundAssistsThisSortie * 0.25) * DeathMult) +
TotalTourKillScore
 
TotalDamage =
(DamagePointsScoredOnObjectsTh isSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourDamagePointsScoredOn Objects +
(DestroyedPointsScoredOnObject sThisSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourDestroyedPointsScore dOnObjects
 
Death Multipliers

Landed 1.0
Discoed  0.25
Bailed 0.5
Ditched 0.75
Captured 0.4
Killed  0.25
Crashed 0.25

It comes down to this, The more you kill with the least ordinance in the fastest time, without dieing the better your rank.

For rank purposes lets say your jabo plane of choice is a p47d

you drop 2 x 1000 and 1 500 and kill an fh.

Thats 3 bombs 1 structure.

If you drop that same load on a twn lets say u kill 10 structures with 3 bombs you hit percentage will be higher so will your damage per sortie.

For Rank purpose its never good to ditch you ord to dogfight. You should always drop on target or extend and rtb with youre ord intact.

For instance

Kills per Death in this category you rank 1
Kills per Sortie you rank 1
Kills per Time you rank 1
Hit percentage you 300
Air points you rank 1
Damage per Death you rank 1
Damage per Sortie you rank 1
Bombing percentage you rank 1
Ground points you rank 1
Field captures you rank 1


Kills per Death i rank 25
Kills per Sortie 25
Kills per Time 25
Hit percentage 25
Air points 25
Damage per Death 25
Damage per Sortie 25
Bombing percentage 25
Ground points 25
Field captures 25

Add all 10 up for you and me

your total is 309 mine is 250 even though you beat me in every category but 1 I will rank higher then you because 250 is less then 300.

300 isnt you rank it the total of the 10 categories. If no one scores lower then 309 then you will bwe ranked 1st if 1 person scores higher then you you will be second. if 10 people score lower then you you will be 11th. If everyone scores higher the you you will be last.

I am a bit rushed to better articulate how it works but you should understand it from this reply.

I have made several posts about ranks do a bbs search for those old threads they explane all you need to know about rank.

My suggestion would be just have fun dont get uptight about ranks.
