No, you just suck so much that you can't even rank in AH... there's a difference.
-
thats cold Wetrat
you should have some compassion for his feelings.
-
of course it is corrupt !
You have to pay HTC MONEY to play the game and be in the contest..
so in a way it is :D

Izzat like saying that in order to rank high in AH you have to...be...good...ROFL!

You have to work each rank. I was shown a few tricks for score, like supplying damaged areas, stuff like that. Then you have to have the patience(spell?) to do it.
I keep augering to get another plane or go somewhere else, so count me out:D
-
"supplying damaged areas" helps your score?
How?

Then what line of bollocks was sixpense fed and who by?

he must have missunderstood something or he just has no clue about getting good rank

Supplying fields adds to your bomber ranking score
So it does help a little, I tell the new guys if they want to drop like 1500 in rank, goon 3 or 4 times a month at least, if they don't care about the score like me, I tell them look at the stats of what you like to do.such as fighters, bombers, gv or whatever, then just have fun

NwBie,
gooning does, cos we have a score variable called "field captures".
Running supplies....doesnt. We dont have a score section called "fields resupplied". If running supplies to fields helps your score then I'd be very interested to know what variable it increases.......cos I'll be damned if I can think of one it relates to.
Of course I may be wrong. I've only just found out that the "hit% v objects when in a vehicle" score variable actually means "hit% with ONLY rockets and torps when in a PT boat" and I've been here since tour 1.

im 1000000% sure that resupply does NOT help rank, just your m8's and popularity if you drop em :)
Hitech.....come tell everyone pls :)

You have to be motivated, experienced, persistent and good.

Ya forgot to add that ya need the time equilivant of a part time job that can be dedicated to playing the game in order to achieve rank < sic >

It is a legend. You can make top 20 with 10-15 hours of AH playing time any tour.
Dedicated time is important factor, but not a single.

Prove it!

Not really MrLars... ya gotta play with the system. It doesn't take 250+ hours a month to do it either.
Take a look at my scores from last tour. 80ish hours.
Sure, I flew a little more than I had wanted to, but I got the job done and thats the price ya pay for playing the contest.
-
wrong lars, time does not have much to do with it
-
80 hours last tour... That's not alot? That's over 2 hours a day, every day.
Time = points. Points = rank to significant degree.
The lowest number of hours I have ever seen someone get into the top 50 was like 40 hours. Still more than I care to play...
-
how much you care to play is not the issue either
-
I dropped supply on a damaged AA factory, I got 36.56 perks for it, so it does effect score somehow I would think.

What for?
If you can motivate me someway, for example, by betting something valuable, I can do it next tour.
Time effects 6 values out of 30 total that matters when rank is calculated. So, roughly speaking, time is 1/5th of success in ranking.

"a lot" is a relative term goob.
Lets see... I don't have a job, I don't have a wife/kids, I am a student, and I have a life outside of AH. Time management my friend. My lifestyle can fit up to 2 hours of AH each day (maybe more, but at this point I choose not to).
If you don't want to play by the scoring system's rules, then don't participate.

Delete it and the whole thread disappears. ;)

I ranked 17th with a little under 50 hours last tour.
A few tours back (before the competition) I ranked 12th with about 42 hours.
It can be done.
-
yup, actualy alot of the things requiered to get good rank depends on NOT spending to much time.
Im thinking about kills/time in gv, fighter and attack mode.
-
You mean more time spend just flying around doing nothing. We're talking about total time online.
listen:
more time online = more sorties flown = more opportunity to get kills = probably more kills = more points.
k/death, k/time, k/sortie, hit%, etc are NOT EFFECTED. All you get for flying longer is more points on your total score.
But that total score seems to make a huge difference in rank and I really dont see a good reason why it should.

-
if your Kill/time ratio is poor ie u need alot of flying time to get kills, it will affect your fighter rank. Same applies for GV and attack rank.
-
well i dunno about getting into the top 50, but i did check some "top" contest participants...200+ hours. :confused: That equates to a full time job with overtime. Wow. I'll take my highly volatile but inconsistent ;) score I guess.

No, it's saying that he's so terrible that he can't. You don't need to be good at all.
N8 has a low k/d, lower k/t, even lower k/s, and low hit %. All signs point to wuss pilot. Oh, and he has 0 attack sorties.. rank well? not a chance.

This is true. I ranked about 5th in January(?.. maybe Feb), and flew about 40 hours.. that's not a whole lot of time online. You don't need to fly all day to rank, you just need to be a dedicated wuss.

40 hours? An hour a day, maybe 2 hours on Sundays.

Thats my point. Well acually, if your kill/time ratio is really, really poor then chances are so is your hit%, k/d and k/s.....which kinda precludes this whole argument. Anyway, on with my point.
See, if pilot A can fly 20 hours, get a 10:1 k/d ratio, 10 kills a sortie, 25% hit ratio and 10 kills per hour, thats 200 kills.
Pilot B could fly 200 hours, get a 5:1 k/d ratio, 5 kills a sortie, a 12% hit ratio and 5 kills per hour, thats 1000 kills.
Who would say flew better and deserves the higher rank? And if pilot B then why?

Well you Golly-geen moron, if you noticed I said I wasnt very high in rank, and that my best was 75th. As fer wuss pilot, hmmm big dog you are talkin behind a computer, If I had a lower rank than you in this game then it would mean I have less of a life than you. Go ahead and act big and bad and when ur grandkids ask about what you accomplished in your life you can tell them that you had a better rank than N8DOG in this stupid little sim called Aces High. That should really impress them. Hell, you might even want to put that on your resume.
Mooooooooooooooooo
-
lol N8.
Hypocrite. You accuse him of playing a 'stupid little sim' yet you play the same game? Funny!
Your attempt at mocking and/or controling others' time in AH is pathetic and isn't constructive and certainly isn't necessary.
Don't waste your energy getting mad at your score as wetrat pointed out... as you indicated earlier before editing your post, score means nothing right?
So carry on, have fun, and stop complaining.
