Title: Scores page ..
Post by: Duckwing6 on March 16, 2000, 04:40:00 PM
Hyas it's about scores again.

I'm a Knuckle-dragger (Fighter pilot) when i'm looking at the scores i'd like to compare FIGHTERPILOTS.

Would it be possible that we could have a selection at the scores page:

a.) Fighers ONLY
b.) Bombers ONLY
c.) OVERALL RANK

Thanks

The scoring system is so involved now that it's basically a useless measurement.

In real life the score was easy to figure out. You counted your number of kills. Points were given for fighters vs bombers for the Germans to obtain medals.  Both sides stopped counting when the pilot died.

Why not do it just like they did it? List the number of kills in your current string until you die, and list your highest string during the current tour.

Someone like Torque, for instance, would be at the top of the pack with a high string of kills before he died. That's the way it should be. This type of realistic scoring method would encourage a more realistic type of flying. Real pilots took no extra chances when their lives were at risk. So you die, and your string counting starts over.
