Title: Modify scoring
Post by: Mako on August 24, 2009, 11:46:15 PM

Change the scoring algorithm to include the number of sorties when assessing ranking.

I have seen pilots ranked Bomber Rank #2 that have a total of two bomber sorties.  :huh

This seems unfair to those that fly 200+ sorties even if they do exceptionally well.

Keep em straight and level  :salute

There is a category like "Damage Points" that is supposed to be the equalizer when it comes to low sortied score champions. But I agree, it does not do a very good job. Why stop at your suggestion? Why not rid of score altogether?

+1 for Trotter's idea

+2 ,rather... I would like to see it made a lot more private so people don't try to get the highest score to be the praised or whatever they think they will accomplish by it. Ashame it is unlikely to happen, since that exact thing keeps those people around, and when it comes down to it, that's more money for HTC.

The bomber category is the gamiest category in scoring.  Imo, strat targets should only be worth a fraction of a building, same with town buildings.  For example, currently when you drop a stuka nook on 20 city buildings you get 2000% for the 20 buildings you killed with 1 bomb.  How is an actual bomber who drops on ords, city, and hangars, a bomber who actually plays the game,  supposed to compete with a strat bomber(scorehore)?  So imo if HTC retooled what each building is worth, it would make scoring a lot more fair.  For example:

Strat buildings: 1/15 of a building
Town buildings: 1/4 of a building
Ord: 1/1 of a building
Hangars: 1/1 of a building
Fleet Ships: 1/1 of a building

So now if a score monger stuka nukes a strat and kills 14 targets... he'll only get 93% bomb percentage, instead of 1400%.

The bomber score page would more accurately reflect the best bombers in the game, not just those who stuka nooked a strat 15 times in a tour.  Not that score is overly important obviously, but this would make it a lot more fair for the bomber pilots in the game to get represented on the score page.  You might actually see guys like 999000, fortress, etc. on the bomber page, not just Pacerr and Chalenge.

I dont use the stuka Grizz so why are you humping my ankle? I think your just jealous that I can fly bombers and survive.  :D

Oops there went your little theory!
