Title: Question about streaks !
Post by: lasse on June 12, 2001, 03:10:00 AM

I take off in my trusty old Yak9, shoots down a spit, then land and exit plane.
I get x points
I lift off once more, and shoots down another spit, then lands again.
I get x points.
Now I have x+x points, right ?


I take off in my trusty old Yak9, shoots down a spit and land afterwards, but I dont exit plane but refuel, and take off again.
I kill another spit, then lands and exits plane.
Now I have a streak of 2.


How many points do I have ?
Still x+x points ?
Or is my second kill worth more when it is nr 2 in a streak ?

Yep, still x+x points. FYI, the multiplier for landing your kills is 1.25, I think.

It would be great if there was a modifier for streaks!

In "landing your kills' do you mean landing and returning to the tower with the announcement "you have landed successfully" or simply landing and refueling?  If you only get the 1.25 multiplier for returning to the tower, then there is no point in rearming at a field, unless the fighter hangars and/or ordinance/fuel are down at that field.

I have always been puzzled by this.  I'm glad it came up.

Thanks in advance.

Far as I know you don't get the 1.25 multiplier unless you actually exit the plane.
