Every once in a while I go up top of the page here and click on scores and then 'my rank' just to see how I'm doing and who's around me.
I don't really play for rank, and this tour I haven't even been playing for K/D, but anyway...I find it interesting to see who sits around me at my score level.
A few months ago when I did this there were a dozen folks who's names I recognized. It's less this time, but still interesting to see that I recognize a few folks from the MA.
Overall rank: 951. The only guy I recognize on the list is WHOOPEE, and that's only because he gave me my last death in the MA a few days ago, popping my jug as I tried desperately to ditch engine out over our HQ. :furious
Fighter rank: 1154. I recognize Drfritz because I had a great fight against him once where he didn't HO me (even though he could have) in the MA and because I see him on bish alot lately in the furballs. I recognize Einhorn, I'm fairly certain I fought him in mid-war a few months ago (also classy). And I recognize Odee from the AvA forums, although I can't remember if I like flying against him or not. Not bad company to be with.
Attack rank: 820. I recognize 68Wooley (I think I actually won a sortie or two against you ;)) and 68Gunny.
The other ranks are pretty frivolous as I just don't fly bombers or GVs enough to really take their scores to indicate anything.
Feel free to share if you'd like.
See ya,

Although Score is not important the best way to learn is to go get owned :cry by a very good player be it in a fighter or in a tank. I have been owned by A8Jonplr, DR7, Wonder, Wet, Rondar, taxi, stodd to name a few. But you have to keep going back and finding them and trying to kill them. Figuring out their tactics will only help you and if you do end up getting a kill the feeling is great. :D :D

This morning my overall rank is 127. I recognize Madcap71 because we're usually fighting at the same places.
In fighters I recognize Lynx. I think I've seen him once or twice :lol
In attack I recognize joker2. He's the guy I love to hate the most right now. I hate massive horde squads and he's their leader.
In bombers I recognize Waldren :rolleyes: That disturbs me :lol
GVs, it's NoFether because I shot his fethers off yesterday. He tryed to HO me :mad:
-
I had a really good Fighter day yesterday and now I'm at 158 overall.... :rock
Fighter I see my brother nikOmon ahead of me... But that wont last, my Fighter rank will drop.
The only real group to speak of is GV.... Ic3mann 9 ahead of me and we had a few hours of fun on the Bish/Knit front a few days ago.

If there's anything where score doesn't mean anything at all, it's with bombers.
Killing Dar/barracks/ords/hangars with from 15K with 100kg bombs gives you a lousy hit% compared to just lazily lobbing a big bomb into a huge cluster of city buildings. :rofl

[hijack]targets should have a value based on importance of field operations, but sure someone would argue you can take a field with all hangers up.[/hijack]

I can't stand the people ranked around me... everyone with a rank like that is just a cheap score potato! :noid
-
Ranked around me? Not a clue. Though I do have a few I like to come across in the MA.
<S>...-Gixer
-
Any one ranked around me is probably still crashing their planes on take off.
They are also probably the ones asking, "Why do you calibrate the bomb sight? What does Salvo mean? "Etc...
-SR- :rock
-
The one ranked right above me is the Cellar.....The one right below me is hell.
-
Good post idea toonces.
Fighter: Krusty1, Tbarone, ROCKY, and quite a few more
Bomber: Who flies bomber sorties :lol
Attack: Closest I recognize is Ovington, I remember him talking smack on country channel a while ago and I thought of his name as perhaps the most extremely British name I remember seeing.
Vehicle: Beamer1, see him all the time.

I checked for you sport:
Overall: I recognize 8spade and Silat, both fighter dudes like you.
Fighter: 109. Wow, where do I start? Pretty much half of the guys on there I recognize- Stang, A8hunter, akNOT, Rogentx, 4fox (been seeing him alot lately all of a sudden, old guy with new handle?), xbrit01, ghi, and TrueKill.
If you ever got out of that Yak, maybe you could give attack, bombers or GV's a chance!
Not alot of assists in your stats either. That cannon hits and hits hard, eh?
Nice dude. <S>
-
Strange, guys that are ranked near me in fighters are guys like kappa, slapshot, killnu, etc. I guess I'd rather have a fight against those guys ranked in the hundreds than someone ranked in to the top 50.
ack-ack

anyone ranked around me must suck

Yak T is a fighter I never waste precious 37mm ammo on GV"s unless called upon same goes for buffs. If I did hunt GV's or shoot at anything on the ground on a regular basis I would score it under Attack. And yes a hit is an instant kill, assists are few and far between... :devil

I'm ranked down with all the zip codes. :)

Just browsed the MW fighter ranks. You, Crims, and I have some augering missions to do to correct the mistake :)

Umm... sorry. It doesn't even take a big bomb or a cluster of city buildings. My first buff sortie this camp was in a formation of Bostons with 4 500 lb bombs in each. I hit four strats (no cities) with one bomb each and got a 1000% hit percentage and just under 250,000 points. This was at ~315 mph at 16,000 feet.

I don't dare look up my scores... It would probably just give me an inferiority (probably deserved) complex.

LOL! Just checked my MW rank, didn't know what it was until a few minutes ago. Someone must be playing on my account while I'm at work <BG>
Out of the top 5 in the MW, the only one that I would consider to be a challenge and a good fight is Slapshot.

pple scoring around me are just runners :P

I find it funny how people look at scores. There are guys in my squad who will start to fight each other if they get bored, with kill shooter being on you know what happens to the winner. Also, many will simply auger if they see a better fight somewhere else on the map.

I've never cared for score. But I often know WHO I'm up against. This is more important to me.

4fox (been seeing him alot lately all of a sudden, old guy with new handle?)
Rolex's training squad was where I met 4fox, I think he's relatively new, but one thing I know... he was most likely the best stick of all the trainees, and a nice guy as well. Any squad would be well advised to recruit him!
As for my score, I haven't looked, I'm sure its bad though.
-
1500+ 4 t w !
-
kinda hard since i'm scoring my ftr runs as attack... but i've popped quite a few top 100 ranked "ftrs" <meh> like that means much...
-
People that are around me, are the top guys as of now. I think I got somthing like a 90 rank, but all the people who are in front of me are mostly some of the score hordes, like Amsoil (mini pacerr) and SHawk and of course pacerr.
-
Bosco, your avatar is sweet!
-
I'm ranked 5678 in fighters, and 2311 overall. I sucks :(
-

i think i have a few kills though :D and a whooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOO OOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEE
lotta deaths :rofl

LOL Bosco... most of the guys in front of you :rofl
There are a lot, that is for sure. I watch my score as well and have even bombed a few strat targets to make sure it stayed down in the past. Only takes about 6 bomb runs a month and a few captures to make that one go down. The other two important ones are fighter and attack. If you don't separate them properly your score will stay in the 500's. Fortunately for me, I carry ord almost everywhere... cept when I take a spit or ki up light around a furball. I love killing ack, VH hangers, cruisers and shore bats. For me, it's more fun than fighting air cons empty. If I'm lucky I get to do them both. I suck at GV'in so it must be all the downed towns and captures that keeps that score down.
IMO score is fun to watch on a personal level. Kinda like watching yourself improve or a look back in what most interested you that particular month.
I just found this about 5 months back. It's a prog from spatula that can graph your progress or regression. Check it out. http://www.my2cents.co.nz/AKUAG/Resources_Files/PilotStats.aspx

Well this Tour I havnt done any scorehoring at all and I have been sitting around 50-70 the entire tour :rock. I like to look at the ranks and see how my sqaud is doing. The other day we had 4 people on the top of the page, none of which scorehore at all. I like to also look at which Knights are up there, I see P there all the time :) but some others are Bear69,Floatsup,Klingan,Kvuo,Sethbag, and many other good knights. Some bad guys I like to see are the people I have the best fights with, like 11,24,B4Buster,Atti11a,Pawz. I also find me looking at people I dislike too in their ranks. One is the SCOREHORE Toolie. This guy has now ganged me twice with some buddies and when i complained about it on 200 he started making up bs stories. I looked at his score and found out 2 things he milkruns, and HE MILKRUNS.Im vented and nuff said :rock :salute

SHawk might like the scoring aspects of the game but I am willing to bet that he's ahead of you not because he's a score HO but for the fact he is far better than you are. The fact that for some reason you think you're some how good for being ranked #90 is laughable. I don't think SHawk thinks he's good just because he has a better rank than you do.
I'm ranked in the thousands and I would have no troubles whatsoever flying circles around you all day. That pretty much tells how worthless rank is in the game.
