Does it really matter?

I was going to laugh about rank, but then Hondo's avatar got me... again.:eek:

Rank is very important and I've been told chicks dig your Aces High Virtual rank at all the local hotspots here. :aok

Morph is right! It's how I get the chickies!@!@

his avatar put me in a trance the other day...
took awhile to break free.
and he killed my 262 in the MA (that i had to fly cause i lost a bet)
Ban Him!

GW is not saying rank is important. The question is how rank is derived, and in this case how could those numbers produce a #1 fighter rank.
-
Martha Stewart got out of prison early due to AH rank. That`s a good thing.

Yeah but Tupac had a high rank in AH and look how he ended up.
-
Tupac. Was she that Star Trek:NG chick that got toasted like a KFC chickenwing in the Enterprise reactor core overload in season 2?
As for rank? Wowza! Was telling tales of my heroic derring do and impeccable flying skills in the virtual skies of AH and I only barely mentioned rank when the twin blonde, stacked, bombshells I was impressing the living sh&t out of said sexily, "ENOUGH!" and they proceeded to ravage me in the most sordid, steamy menage a trois eVaH!
Oh. It was my Dad's black tie party (Bush was not invited) party and I had given them a ride easrlier in his P-51 and B-29 too. I had 5,000 hrs PIC in each last year alone.

then why did that girl at the bar walk away last weekend???
i told her about finishing #6 overall once, and my current ability to keep fighter rank up.
she acted like she had no clue what an attack hit % was damage vs. death was obviously out of her comprehension, si i told her one day when she gets a little bigger i'll explain it all.
morph.. these chicks you speak of.. what age are they? im guessing this 30 year old chick just wasn;t mature enough to understand the fine line between k/d and k/s

Well, you also gotta consider that HT positioned the .45 wrong for this kinda thing. He should know that the weapon should be turned over on it's side - isn't that how the real "Homie's" shoot them?
How we supposed to hit anything with the .45 if it doesn't look "cool" while doing so?
-
LOL Maybe HT would consider adding a new dot command. ------> .gangsta45angle

Well, unlike the others, I would attempt to answer your question honestly if I kinew it myself. Was always curious how someone with bad scores in all areas end up having a good overall score. Seeing the posted replies here is also my basic attitude about the scoring system. If this is a good representation of the importance/attitude of the score system, we should ask HTC to get rid of it. I personally think this takes some of the fun out the game if, say, someone is great at tank fighting, and is bad at fighter, he would probably not up fighters very much in worries of porking his(ok, and/or hers) score. Whereas if the score system is no longer an issue, we might see more people flying fighters that wouldn't have before.

now come on guys, rank is a personal pride thing.
hit the top 50 today for first time, wheres the clubhouse at?:p

Yeah, I still have some questions about how rank is derived; but, more importantly, what bet did cooley lose that he had to pay up his jet for?

I would still like to see the same statistics that we currently get on the scores page, but with no rank attached at the bottom and scores done away with. Stats are not important to me in the respect that I dont strive to get a certain stat to a certain level, but I find them interesting for some odd reason. Scores I dont see much need for, we all know who is better than each one of us and who is not without looking at stats.

Pride? Well, if you do score high, and if it does your pride good..wtg.
Now flip the coin over.. if there are many others like you that get pride from scores, there are an equal amount of people that score bad. This must hurt their pride.. Im guessing those people get frustrated and leave because of it. Hence relating to another thread mentioning a gap between skill levels of players. Dang good pilots against newbs all night.
I agree with another reply here. Instead of killing scoring all together, just post percentages etc (not rank) so at least people can have something to judge their individual progress in skill. Maybe newbs will stick around longer

Well, this is for all you badarses! STFU! being sarcastic is funny the first time then you just become a sarcastic dweeb D ck! The guy comes on and asks a question, and all he gets is insulting sarcastic remarks from a bunch of burnouts! Dmn guys take some pride, swallow it, and answer the man's question. In reguards to your question sir, there is a glitch that allows a guy who has one or no fighter sorties to be ranked #1 in fighters. This usually only lasts for 24 hour duration. This is due to the fact that much of what a pilot is doing to keep rank down is curtailing mistakes. Hence the system sometimes calculates the lack of sorties with lack of mistakes. It is much more complex than that but that is it in a nutshell. As far as all these guys trying to make you feel stupid for asking, just ignore them. They are either to immature to be polite when it is necessary, or plain and simply *******s! ;)

I'm surprised at you Westy. Tupac is the name of Hondo's avatar. It takes me 10 minutes to center my eyes again after checking the forums.

Scoring in Aces High
Scores in Aces High II are logged in tours, with a new tour beginning on the first day of the month, or the Monday following the first. When a tour is rolled over, all scores are reset and the Main Arena terrain is changed. Perk points are not reset with a new tour.
Scoring is broken down into five mission types:
Fighter
Bomber
Attack
Vehicle / Boat
Field Gunner
The attack mission type is somewhat different than the other types because many planes can fit into that category in addition to their main role. For those planes that have a secondary attack role, you'll be able to designate how you want your sortie scored prior to launching. So if you're loading up your fighter for some air-to-ground work, you'll probably want your sortie scored as an attack sortie rather than a fighter sortie and you'll be able to select between the two in the hangar.
The field gunner mission type is how your sortie is scored should you choose to man a gun on a fleet. This type is not ranked nor included in the overall rank calculations.
Each player has a fighter rank, bomber rank, attack rank and vehicle/boat rank that is determined from each of ten categories described below. Overall rank is calculated by adding up the ranks from the four mission types, and the player with the smallest sum is #1, next smallest #2, etc.
We have ten base categories that are scored at the end of each sortie depending upon your mission type. Only air categories are scored for fighter mission types, ground categories only for bomber mission types, and both air and ground are scored for attack, vehicle, boat and field gunner mission types.
Air Categories
Kills per Death
Kills per Sortie
Kills per Time
Hit percentage
Air points
Ground Categories
Damage per Death
Damage per Sortie
Bombing percentage
Ground points
Field captures
Formulas
Air Categories
Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)
Kills per Sortie = TotalKills / TotalTourSorties
Kills per Time = TotalKills / TotalTourSortieTime
Hit percentage = TotalTourBullet**** / TotalTourBulletsUsed
Air points = PlaneDamageScore + KillScore
Ground Categories
Damage per Death = TotalDamage / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)
Damage per Sortie = TotalDamage / TotalTourSorties
Bombing percentage =
(TotalTourBomb**** + TotalTourRocket**** + TotalTourTorpedo****) /
(TotalTourBombsUsed + TotalTourRocketsUsed + TotalTourTorpedosUsed)
Ground points =
(DamagePointsScoredOnObjectsTh isSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourDamagePointsScoredOn Objects +
(DestroyedPointsScoredOnObject sThisSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourDestroyedPointsScore dOnObjects
Field captures = FieldCapturesThisSortie + TotalTourFieldCaptures
TotalKills are just air-to-air kills for fighter missions, air-to-air + air-to-ground kills for all other mission types.
PlaneDamageScore =
(DamagePointsScoredOnEnemiesTh isSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourPlaneDamageScoredOnE nemies
KillScore =
((AirKillsThisSortie * 1.0) + (AirAssistsThisSortie * 0.25) +
(GroundKillsThisSortie * 1.0) + (GroundAssistsThisSortie * 0.25) * DeathMult) +
