How is determined?
Thanks
-
The "HELP" page is a wonderfull thing ... try it sometime.
Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)
-
Note that vehicle kills while in fighter mode, kills in ground or ship guns, kills while in a chute (or as a man) and kills while in a bomber do not count toward rank/score and are not included in K/D.

"Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)"
...Geez, just count on your fingers.

Im sorry but how do you not know not to figure this out you take the number of kills over deaths.... hence a ratio

Sunfan, if you look carefully at Slapshot, BaldEagl & Squire's replies, you'll notice it's a bit more complicated than just that - & hence perhaps not such a stupid question.

My point was ... it's in the HELP section. Everything is explained there.
No it's not a stupid question ... it's a lazy question.

yep thats what is says....whats with the +1 tho?
K/D ratio of 1.99 +1 = 2.99? Never did understand that +1

It's not +1 to your K/D. It's only +1 to your deaths.
You cannot divide by zero, therefore you need the +1.
Where does zero come from you ask? No deaths.

It's not adding 1 to the result. It's adding 1 to the denominator in the equation. And as AWwrgwy pointed out, you cannot divide by zero so adding 1 to the denominator is necessary.

It's only nessasary as long as there are no deaths. Once a death is recorded it is no longer nessesary to add one to the denominator. A simple IF statement could fix this (IF deaths =0, report kills otherwise report kills/deaths).

I think your on to something there BaldEagle. They could get rid of the +1 once your score includes one of the other criteria (i.e.- death, bailed, disco, etc.). It would then make the K/D a bit more accurate ?

wow ....... and I'm still just learning to aim. The pressure:huh

I have been following this thread....so I started looking at my K/D in the AvsA.
I was killing along at KD of 27 + 1 with no deaths.......next flight I got tagged and it went from KD of 27 + 1 to 13.5............
so out of like 6 or 7 flights I died once and immediately went from a 27 KD to a 13.5 KD over 1 death.... so that 1 death is worth 50% I take it?
I flew some more and now out of 38 kills I have a KD of 19 in 10 flights, but I only got shotdown 1 time.....so yep....looks like that 1 kill on me is worth 50% of my KD......out of 10 flights...instead of being worth 10% of my KD out of 10 flights......

Braggart. ;)
When using normalish MA-type numbers, the +1 becomes insignificant.
Example:
300 kills vs. 200 deaths = 1.50 K/D ratio
300 kills vs. 201 deaths = 1.492537 K/D ratio

Yes, TC, those who most fanatically protect their cartoon life, stand to lose the most. The emphasis is on killing, not surviving.

Each death is worth the it's reciprical +1 against your K/(D+1).
With no deaths you are 1:1. The first death reduces K/(D+1) by 1/2. Then the next by 1/3 and the next by 1/4, etc. After many deaths it's relatively meaningless but the impact is huge with the first few deaths.
At a 27 K/D ratio with no deaths you will now have to get to 54 kills without an additional death to get back to where you were.

yes, 1st thought that popped in my head after seeing the results was grade school teacher telling us, well if you score a "100" on this test, then score a "0" for not doing that homework assignment, you are averaged at 50.......and thinking, as you pointed out Baldeagl, how hard it was to get back to an "A" average.......
I don't no what the Baggart comment is for guess u just ribbing me.......and yes hub I completely agree .... I don't think I was flying any of these flights to actually protect anything except getting shotdown, I landed cause I was out of fuel or out of ammo....... I was flying in multiple Con environment and some fights was 2 & 3 vs 1....... I did pay extra attention to my SA ( surroundings & E ) though....and sometimes I had a wingman ( sqd wingy DmdJJ )
to get back to the 27 /1 KD I need 54 kills......is what your saying right? and to get to 54 then I would need 108 kills with no deaths....
ok, enough of that......now is time to just go have fun :D

has something to do with math,....these computer thingys, ya know.
