That equation is still wrong. It's only disco's that should be divided with 2.
Bails, ditches and deaths count the same in the equation.

Did you calculate it using your data before you posted?

Bails, Ditches and Discos and multiplied by 0.5 in my score. Not in yours?

Here are my stats (I'm not very good...):

k/d + 1 = 3.28571
Kills = 23
Bailed = 2
Ditched = 2
Deaths = 4
Discos = 0

23 / [0.5*(2 + 2 + 0) + (4 + 1)]
23 / (2 + 5)
23 / 7 = 3.28571

If I only multiply discos by 0.5 then my ratio would be:
23 / (2 + 2 + 4 + 1)
23 / 9 = 2.5555

But my score says k/d + 1 = 3.28571

No, I did not and I can see I didn't study your equation good enough before I posted, but just look at Hitech's, it's what it's suppose to look like.

You removed captures and put in ditches in the previous post. Ditches should not be included. In regard to K/D they count as much as landed (read "none").

Try this:

23 / ((.5*0)+2+4+1)

It's that simple. Both your first and second equations are simply wrong.

Now I understand why i see so many guys winking out before they hit the ground

MiniD is correct...you guys should really look at the equation hitech posted before you start doing math in the early morning

Just as a refresher....

Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)

So, in your case 23/7 = 3.28571

My fighter numbers from last tour are:

36/(0*0.5) + 1 + 0 + 5 + 1 = 36/7 = 5.14286

This tour is a little less impressive as I've been more apt to take off from heavily vulched fields

Well... I'm thoroughly embarrassed at my mistake now.
But, unlike many, I will admit it:

I was wrong.
