Author Topic: Kill streak scores request (Read 363 times)

Hi HTC, all,

One of the goal I set for myself in the start of each tour is to get the longest kills streak, to beat Fishu's record he set in beta time. It keeps my interest for AH, because it is really challenging... Problem is that you can do it only in the start of tour, if you die, you need to wait a whole month for next streak try.

So request is simple, make a longest streak shown in the scores for fighters, bombers, gv's. It shall be easy to code: variable (db field), which gets kills if sortie ends with land/ditch, get nothing if it ends with disco, and set it to 0 if sortie ends with bail/capture etc. When it is 0, if this streak is longer than the longest one... Well, you know it better, than I do, it really easy to implement.

May be there is a gameplay considerationgs, which prevents from addins such field to game, but I do not see what it can be. Actually real aces had "streaks" in our understanding, and making more kills than Hartman in 109, or Sakai in zero, etc. will be another nice goal to play for

Pleeeeeeeeeease

Good idea Fariz, was like this back in WB, could see a longest streak (I asume you flew WB aswell).

Was very very good.

We had this in FA2 as well. Was fun running around with 30 or so stars

everyone ws always gunning for you if you had multiple stars. We also learned teh correct way to ditch a lot, especially if the fight turned bad on us.

Is one allowed to ditch a plane in a kill streak? (Did Fishu?)

I totally agree. I enjoyed the kill streak in WB as well.
Please AH, give us the kill streak variable.

Yep. Was sitting there watching the kill buffer rack up his totals.

I wondered how anyone could kill so many so fast.

Then somebody told me about the volcano bug.

Stand by for the inevitable denial.

But yes, I was online watching at least one of his "kill streaks" run up in the buffer.

Couldn't say which "streak" it was though. Was too busy laughing after somebody told me all you had to do was bail into the volcano and sit there while the system kills were given to you. Couldn't believe anyone would waste time like that.

Yes and there should be more score for the kills you make as the streak progresses. Perhaps a greater incentive for people to try to live longer.

At the time I was in same squad with Fishu, along with MrAnza and Pirado. Of all the times we flew together, I never witnessed him exploiting the volcano bug. His highest kill per sortie was something like 15 (vulching). Anza was better, totalling 17 or 18 in a sortie. If there was a volcano bug exploiting, I never saw it.

I'd describe his flying at the time as very cautious. While all of us would turn into the enemy and take our chances, he just played safe. Although he did fight and has returned few times with parts missing.

Still, judging by the kill percentage, kill per time, I wouldn't say it was bug exploiting.
