You've been exposed :old: I noticed when your 110C had the top K/D of the entire arena last tour. ;)
Go back and look at his last 3 tours. Seemingly killing the 1 guy over and over again. #1 fighter so far this tour with an 8 kill sortie on 1 guy getting over 36 hit % and 4k points. I cant even get 1k points for 2 landed sorties with 5-6 kills a peice...
Tsk tsk...

What about that Machell guy? Looks like he killed 5 B17s with an M3!

Thats Finetime, he bails a lot

I noticed that too. Pretty lucky to be finding the same shade - err, "noob" all tour. And while flying a 40ENY plane to boot.

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't look to see who it was, just the plane type.
Speaking of shady types. It appears that hazmat has been gone for a couple tour now. Wonder what the callsign for hi new shade is.

You sure about that? I dont think Finetime flies Bostons... and this wasnt bailed out kills given his sheer amount of points and hit %. These are runway vulch kills. Further, it would be one thing to say he got a lucky sortie one tour. Doing it 3 months in a row on random names is sus and should be looked into.

Where do you see the 110c stats?

Imagine boosting your rank in AH in 2025. Wow.

I like how he changed the name of his "target" thinking that would hide his scheme. :rofl

SHawk showed me how to game the score years ago and after that, scores and ranks mean nothing to me. The funny thing is that you don't have to cheat to get good scores or rank. I suspect the player in question is a silly kid trying to look good.
This kind of activity was way worse when we had massive numbers in the game. I didn't condone this stuff then, and I don't now, but what ya going to do? Hopefully, this person will realize how dumb his efforts are. There's nothing worse than worrying about a scoring system that can be gamed so easily. If anything, the ranking system only provides a window into a player's knowledge of the game and not one's skill level. :salute

Score makes for a boring game for me..
I more than not lately look for ways to die to save the rtb trip..

I agree that score has no reflection on actual skill.
I would take a perk mossie and rearm like 5 times and bomb like 5 cities and I would have a decent bomber rank for the rest of the campaign. Likewise I would take a rocket tank into a town and destroy it and if I could get a gv kill or two I'd have a good enough gv rank for the rest of the game. Keep in mind I wasn't trying to get to number one. I was just trying to show on the top 50 and I could do this easily with one mission in a bomber and one or two in a gv. Not hard to game it at all. To me the toughest to game was the fighter score. Easiest way I found to do this was to fly an F4U1C off the carrier and vulch a base. You could rack up some kills right quick and then you would be done with the fighter score too.

Fighter score is a tough one for sure. I realize it can be gamed too, but aside from GVs, fighter score is the only slice of the game where your ACM and gunnery skilled are challenged by other players skills and knowledge imo. Shooting static targets is pretty easy really. It's a nonperishable skill whereas fighter skills {ACM & gunnery) always have to be honed and refined as the players and planes change. When I get into a head to head with real ACM guy, I usually find out real quick how crappy at this game I can be, even though I can keep a top 100 rank all tour if I tried. I just keep everything in attack or bomber mode and lets the chips fall where they may. No stress, no pressure :joystick:

I just do what I do in my niche. To be that obsessed with achieving some top spot in a fantasy world of any kind in any unethical way possible signifies a kind of mental illness.
I also work online, and earn real money, and there is a very real score & rank system. I work hard and honestly, and I'm in a top spot with the company I work through.

Understanding how to get a good score and following through is one thing, but flat out gaming it by shooting shades is another, and should be called out and frowned upon. While getting a good rank overall is quite easy once you understand the metrics, it should still be done honorably. I like to try for the best fighter score I can achieve on a personal level with the time I get to play. Most guys have beat my scores due to flying jets and temps, and while I think it's lame, its still doing it within the boundaries of the gameplay and not a "set up". I find being in the top 5 does take some skills, and certainly air combat understanding. Though the plane you chose to fly makes a huge difference in how easy or challenging getting there is. Plus you have to make sure you understand the situation in order to get enough kills, points, and K/H to stay in the mix, that can be challenging if you dont get to play a whole lot. I do see many folks who fly way too timidly and if they are trying to get a better score flying like that, they arent doing it right :old:
Of course ranking does infact add another level of challenge and stress, its why for certain events or furball lakes, I dont find scoring necessary since it may cause players to fly a certain way rather than just having fun and letting lose down low n slow.
I think its far more beneficial to learn defense in slower planes than it is to fly faster planes and only BnZ trying for score. The players who only utilize BnZ miss a lot of great fight opportunities and arent developing their gameplay to the fullest extent, which is why their fighter score suffers. Overall, for me, I think its fun to challenge myself and see what kind of successful sorties I can put together.

Well I'll be damned. I failed to realize you could click on the plane name and see who's been flying them. I was wondering where people were getting all these facts and figures! Interesting to see some guys are flying the open cockpit Russian machine on occasion among other oddballs.

Many times its a limit to the field, the I-16 is allowed at vehicle bases on some maps. I imagine its good to snap a few bombers that come in low, and the rockets are convenient for vehicles if you can aim them.
