No more rank for me, I withdraw from the competion

[Pooh21]

Yeah why are all these so and so is gaming the game posts so cryptic! I wanna hear some good juicy stuff so out with it already! Some things are for public consumption and don't go trying to blame it on swamp gas or drunken truckers.

Look what brady got pissed was something that others may or may not view as objectionable. But to brady, a guy who only flies for rank, this pissed him off.

Look at the replies of folks who think that every ranked guy or atleast some spend all their time straffing their own hangers for rank. Or kill stealing etc..... This subject been brought up in numerous threads. To go into detail would just create more dis-harmony over a rather trival issue.

Its not about killstealing, vulching, hanger strafing, duel account kills or anby of the other nonsense folks have attributed to this "contest".

Folks will no doudt continue to speculate and make accusations but they already are doing that anyway.

It would better for all of us to let this thread die.

After learning of Cheating going on for the rank thing I have decided that after busting my baalls to get in the top 5 that I am not going to stup to this leval of game play and will no longer play for rank in the MA, in fact I will most likely only play in the CT from this point on.

wrong pepe brady is referring to something very specific and it in no way relates to Fariz.....

I fail to see it as an specific issue, since "Cheating going on for the rank" involves, as you say, a lot of dweeby (or simply stupid) behaviours. At least, this is my take with brady's post. I may be wrong, tho.

What I do agree is that his post in no way relates to Fariz, thus Fariz should not feel offended, given he is not liable to this kind of behaviour..

Wasting your time worried about your hit % may in the short term bump your rank a bit but it detracts in other areas. The attack rank is made up of 10 seperate sub categories. Spawning and shooting your own hanger will increase you hit % while in attack mode. However your rank in kills per sortie and kills per time online will drop. These 2 sub-categories are the most competitive. Any small movement up/down will greatly effect your overall rank far beyond what benefit you get in the hit % category.

I was wondering yesterday how or why this would be an advantage - and then I thought of a loophole.  You could do this dweeby thing, then rearm and go fly "normally" but already - even if you miss with 100% of bullets on next plane - you can do no worse than hit percentage 50% for that sortie.  Now you are talking a serious loophole rather than an score oddity.

Anyway hitech has fixed it, so dweebs of such character will be deprived of this (and I have to think other) dubious means to their ends.
