Title: Kill Points?
Post by: Ray77 on February 12, 2013, 12:43:26 PM

So in all fight stats I rank 1100+...Except kill points:

Late war
Kill Points 8332.36      Rank 171

I rank 171.   What are kill points? I don't even know what I'm doing right.

Kill points are the damage you inflict on enemy planes (+1 single point for a kill). The more stuff you shoot up, the more kill points you get.

Isn't this one more complex---- where you get the multiplier?

Retain % of that sortie's kill points:
Landed = 100%
Ditched = 75%
Bailed = 50%
Captured = 25%
Death = 25%

Are you landing successfully after getting kills?   

My understanding is getting 8 kills and dying is roughly equivalent to getting 2 kills and landing.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

I think multiplier's only come into it for perk points.

Shooting down bombers always helps lots more damage!

From this page http://www.hitechcreations.com/Help-Section/Aces-High-Features/Aces-High-Help-Scoring.html#pd (http://www.hitechcreations.com/Help-Section/Aces-High-Features/Aces-High-Help-Scoring.html#pd)

Air points = PlaneDamageScore + KillScore

PlaneDamageScore =
(DamagePointsScoredOnEnemiesTh isSortie * DeathMult) +
TotalTourPlaneDamageScoredOnE nemies

KillScore =
((AirKillsThisSortie * 1.0) + (AirAssistsThisSortie * 0.25) +
(GroundKillsThisSortie * 1.0) + (GroundAssistsThisSortie * 0.25) * DeathMult) +
TotalTourKillScore

With that, Landing does make a difference in points.  For perks, this http://www.hitechcreations.com/Help-Section/Aces-High-Features/Aces-High-Help-Perk-Points.html (http://www.hitechcreations.com/Help-Section/Aces-High-Features/Aces-High-Help-Perk-Points.html) says you multiply your perks earned by 1.25 when you land.

Yes it is. I was cutting it down to explain the very nature of the "kill points".  ;)
