One tour I thought I'd try flying for rank.

Ran buff missions, milk runs, jabo attacks, pt boat runs, GV long drives. Flew a few fighter sorties, did NOT have a whole lot of fun proved that anyone can get ranked in top 50 if you really try. Thats it havn't really bothered since. Score means nothing. What AH needs is a big "Fun" Meter.

Actually in the current state of the economy, its ok to suck. I make it a priority each day that Im not listed very hi in AH. That way I simply blend in with all the other people who cant make a living getting kills either :p

So your saying if your rank is high that your not having fun?
I fly fighters, I fly buffs, I ride the PT boats and do the Jabo thing.
I have fun the whole time im playing, if not I would log off.
Your post kinda smacks ya fer having a high rank.

If you've been around this game very long at all......

........ and HTC took away all the ranking data


You would still know who was good and who wasn't.

actually if anything is relevant it'd be kill/sortie as opposed to kill/death.

kill/sortie shows how effective you are each time you takeoff, regardless of the outcome when your flight is ended.

kill/death just shows who the weenies are.

besides, it's so easy to game the ranking system - really.

but i'll agree that "rank" is meaningles, everything is meaningless except the outcome of any particular encounter with some other player(s). we all have a good idea of what's what and who's who in the game -  those who haven't had time in MA will eventually learn the same.

some highly skilled fighter pilots look for the most challenging fights either against single opponents at a time or multiple opponents all at once


Remove the "highly skilled" from that statement and your on the money..

Some fighter pilots that suck, do that too :D

Exhibit A right here.

But when the moon is 3 degrees above the horizon, temperture and humidity is "just" within established parameters, and God guides me...

I ain't half bad :D
