Title: Disco and scoring?
Post by: Booky on October 03, 2002, 11:11:21 PM
First of all, I understand that a disco needs to count in some negative way to keep people from doing it on purpose.

But why does it have to count as a death? I have two flights so far and the great servers gave me a disco both times. Now I have 3 kills but my K/D is at 1.5 :-(  

Also, I guess the servers don't count any of your rounds when you disco? I say this because it says my hit% is 0.00%. Well I surely used some ammo to get those 3 kills ;)  So even if its a bad ratio I think it should be something other than 0%.

I hope this isn't a indication of how this tour is going to be for me..... ie two flights = two discoes so far :mad:  Oh and I should prolly add that that was with just under 30 min flight time total.

well you could score a disco as a ditch, bail, or capture, but....

all three of those are considered "deaths" when figuring the k/d stat.

sooooooo....

The K/D doesn't really matter that much as mine always stinks anyway.

But what about the Hit %, my aim is bad enough without this happening. :eek:

Connections have been bad all day. I had a fighter gunnery of 18%, until this evening when things got very laggy. In one flight it hit the toilet and tanked at less then 3%. Now my fighter gunnery is probably screwed for the entire tour, but hopefully one or two flights won't tank it that bad in the long run.

I feel like a idiot even whining about this stuff. I just always try to see how long I can go before my first death in each catagory, each tour. So when I discoed on my first flight I was like, no f'in way did that just happen. The second flight just made me leave think that HT has something against me :eek:

Oh well, im sure ill get over it, since im not really a rank mongrol anyway. Although it is nice to be up there :D

Not quite.
A ditch is NOT counted as a death in the k/d stats.  It does affect your "points" score, and perks, but isnt chalked up as a death.

The effect on your score is equivilent to 1/2 of a death.
