While I've never done this personally (I care nothing for scores), enough people have to leave no doubt that it works. Ironic, isn't it, that to get a real good fighter rank it helps to NOT fly a fighter?

This is complete balderdash. I couldn't believe it when I read it, but there is a capture stat under attack after all, so I tried it.

I gooned a field and while the troops were running a jumped into a fighter. It made no difference to my fighter standing, except the perks for the capture were awarded to my fighter perks.

So, I then LVT'd a field and while the troops were running I jumped into an attack aircraft. The result was the same with no change in attack standing.

Since that used to work, let's assume HTC fixed that method of gaming the score page

Thanks for trying it out.

well.. "captain".... you can simply spray down buildings or panzers to get your percentage to anything you like.

mrhanky is correct... use the stats any way you like to help you or to simply have fun. I really hated the "yak challenge" crap from WB. let him do his own friggin "score" but leave me out of it.

The Yak challenge ran way back when over maybe 3-4 tours, where players signed up for it and scores were collected weekly.
What you are referring to is the Yak and Avin score on Deft's score-pages, simply two columns listing the scores based on two different formulas and noone forced you to look at those either.

It was fixed 2 tours ago. This was a known "feature" that a few exploited to the extreme.

If you guys are serious about this score thing. I liked the original AH scoring. It was direct and simple.

Avins score is actually HT's score which is in place here.

Yaks score is like I explained above.

What I really like here is how all types of sorties are divided up. If you just fly air to air fighters, you have a score for that alone. If you want to fly jabo, there is a seperate catogory.

I flew in a couple of Yak challenges and it worked for me because for the first time I looked at a sortie in a different way.

I wasn't going out to kill fighters. I was going out to eventually land. If I got some kills along the way, then so much the better. Landing was the goal, not killin fighters

And in this wittle mind, that way of thinking improved my game quite a bit. My game is to kill fighters. Great fun for me.

Finishing up my second tour here, and the two tours breakdown to a furball tour, and a live tour. Perfect example of two ways to fly. One very interesting stat out of them.

Furball Live
K/D .91 2.2
K/S .68 .87
K/T 3.9 3.6

K/T is essentially identical. I don't kill any less, but I land a whole lot more. Why ??

beats the heck out of me. K/S improvement is just getting a handle on the gunnery a little better and gunnery percentages are up a wittle.

The one thing you can count on, is my averages won't change, there the same regardless of the sim I fly. Talk of lazer guns here were incorrect. If they were lazer guided, the averages would have changed.

They didn't, and unless someone brings me the tablets from the mount, theytain'tagunna.

Avin's score is k/t x k/d and does not include gunnery percentage as the HTC score does.
