Title: Hit percentage
Post by: AKcurly on October 08, 2001, 04:10:00 AM

Has something changed in the way HTC calculates hit percentage?

I fly the F6F a lot.  When I jabo, I almost always fly the F6F.  Consequently, half the time I'm flying attack missions with fighter checked and vicea versa.  I forget.  :)

Anyway, my freaking hit percentage has gone down the tubes!  Usually, it's around 0.06 to 0.07.  Today, it's 0.03.  What in the world is going on?

They don't count as hits I think.

Either that or you going blind  :D

yep..
if you strafe ground targets when your mission is being scored as fighter...all shots are counted as misses.that goes for bombs as well.so if you're a score potato, click the attack button.if not, who cares you're getting the job done anyways.unless you are actually going blind  :D

The only "Hits" that are scored for fighter sorties are enemy controled aircraft and GVs/Boats.

In attack mode buildings, ack, ships, etc are included.

Eskimo, let me make sure I understand you.  You are saying: in attack mode, hits on a/c are counted as misses?  You do say that in fighter mode, hits on GVs are ok, right?

If hits on a/c in attack mode count as hits, why fly in fighter mode?

Thanks,
