Can we discount for sorties not actually flown? I mean, if your wheels don't roll, then why count it as a sortie flown?

Voss, I dont think it does. I put myself on the ramp with something (dont remember but was recently) and unloaded all the ammo. Then went back to tower, ran /.score and everything stayed the same. Unless my eyes failed me thats what I saw, that my sorties had remained the same and so did my hit %.

It does. Your kills per sortie and damage per sortie will be effected. I would like to see it changed, as it serves no purpose except to penalize you for rushing things.

What got me thinking about this is the latest update, actually. Since the release of 1.10, I can come up at a spawn point and it's 2-3 seconds later before I get to see all the enemies in the area. So, if you pop up on the runway, start your engines and THEN see the niki turning for the vultch; well, you get penalized for exiting. Then, there's the fighter/attack options. Choosing the wrong one wastes your effort, and if you exit to check the setting... Same goes for GV's.

Yep, I agree... would be a good change. I don't know if it can be done without creating a massive headache for HTC though, just a thought.

I've usually got allot more sorties than "kills", however I seldom land less than 2 kills. I have a really bad habit of spawning and suddenly deciding to switch planes.. sometimes I've already started rolling lol. Obviously It doesn't bother me too much.

No big deal but it would be nice to see how it affected things if those spawns didn't count against my sorties.

I remember now which plane I was in, it was a VAL. I guess that might have something to do with the sortie count not + and the hit % since its an attacker not a fiter.

what if your in a p51 and 2 152s work well together and kill ya. so you up a la7 to avenge but the 152s being low on fuel rtb so you follow and get close but another 152 shows up and you rtb leaving your 205 country mate to die. Should that count as a sortie?

2 of the 152s ran outa fuel and glided home barely making it. All with multi kill sorties

Yes, Wotan, especially since you caught me in an ATTACK sortie

and apparently the 205 didn't speak english. I warned him

Yes, when I first saw you two (5-10k above me) I was 100 fuel and packing 1k eggs. I can take it
