Title: k/d and how dumps this camp have ruined mine
Post by: eye on June 15, 2000, 02:58:00 AM
Ive busted my butt this camp looking over my shoulder alting high and flying conservative. All in hopes of improveing my pathetic k/d. Well it worked (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) At least so far<knock on wood> The fact i have five dumps have killed my k/d (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) There has to be a better way than the way it been set up now. Fact is i have not been near a guy on any of them. I was alting on all far from the fight.K/d flying has always been my game ,my way of haveing fun it these types of sims. I have never dumped to avoid a death. Not in 51/2 years. Cant this type of thing be made a proximity kill? The way its set up now realy hurts those from far off places. Non north America. It also is hurting me big time. Btw i have been alt f4ed on many times i understand why its set up the way it is.Guys who do that are goofs. I think its just better to make it a proximity kill.

5 dumps isn't bad. Last tour I think I finished with 16, and the tour before that 38.

(Had some puter probs tour 3  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif))

Sure is irritating, but not much to do about it.

5 is bad for me. If you had those probs you would be below me not above this camp. Would not a simple no mission solution be better? Unless your close to a red any points /kills you get on a dumped mission are thrown out the window. Better for me than my k/d droping for no good reason.

Eye, not sure what you mean by:

Could you elaborate?

For what it is worth, 90% of my discos happen just as I reach 20k near an enemy base. Guess they'd count.

I don't need to Disco to have a pittifull KD ratio but.... Had a very nice flight with Maniac where I manage 5 Kills and escaped near certain death on the deck with eddiek in an LA5 at 3microns behind my butt... I arrive at the friendly Airfield, 0.0001 gallon of fuel left in the Tank, but am now at 5K and in a good position....finals....touchdo wn....DISCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!

I kinda get vocal in these occasions, luckilly there was no one on RW yet...I hope  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Not a comparison of whos better between us. I noticed your above me with a great k/d wtg (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) If you dumped and it did not count for any thing you could compete for k/d with multiple dumps. Guys with bad connect probs or from far off place could still see how well they were doing. A bad dumping prob can kill your k/d for a camp other wize.

They would not count in my book unless you were engaged in a fight. A proximity kill like if you flew a guy into the ground.
