I would really like to no exactly how it works.With out haveing to read the help file.No matter what i do i can never get below 750 in a tour. can anyone explain plz.:confused:

To achieve a better rank you start by looking at your individual rank (http://www.hitechcreations.com/cgi-bin/105score/105score.pl?gameid=tatertot&tour=svsl2.hitechcreations.com:0:Tour39) for each catagory. Since total rank is determined by adding all the individual ranks together (lowest total number gives best rank), the fastest way to get better rank is to improve on the catagory you are ranked worst in.
For you this seems to be fighter-score. You have a rather good hit%, but you "just" need to get more kills and die less, and be quicker about it. simple,eh? :)
Also get some attack sorties going, where you bomb some buildings.
-
If you want to go up fast, drop troops(C47, M3, LVT-2), points then come by increments of 1K.
But beware, high rank only means you get to play with the CVs, and take flack for not moving it where 354354354 wants it to be :)

Whilst air to air is important, it's not always the easiest to improve upon.
Try these :
Bombing, take a B17/Lanc to an enemy strat, use the largest bombs possible and lay waste to it, return to base, reload on the arming pad and do it again and again, always return to base if possible for an increase in damage per deaths/sorties.
Use the largest bombs possible to increase the hit percentage and reload on the pad to increase damage per sorties, keep on bombing when possible to increase damage points.
Attack against Ground targets is the same method as above.
Attack against GV's, kill as many GV's as possible as fast as possible, land the kills again.
GV against ground targets, take HE shells, lay waste to a town, return to spawn to land, repeat over and over again.
One exception is take a PT boat to an enemy town, use rockets on the town, taking care to hit something and you will get a hit percentage in this category, rockets and torps only will work for this hit percentage.
GV against GV, drive to an enemy spawn point, set up correctly and kill anything that appears, again land the kills.
Air to air, this is the toughest to increase because it's the only one that requires any skill, the others just need time and targets.
Good luck

One of the biggest factors to keep in mind is to be sure and select how you score by the mission you are doing. The "fighter/attack" buttons near bottom of clip board when in hanger selecting your ride.
ie... If you go to hanger and select a P38 and load it up with bombs and rockets for a JABO (Ground Attack) mission be sure the "attack" button is selected. If you dont then a large portion of your attack run will be scored as "fighter" and can hurt your scoring.
If you pick the P51 and have it setup guns only for air to air be sure the "fighter" button is selected or that will FUBAR your scoreing.
I fly the P51 alot and most times I will score by the selecting ethier attack or fighter depending on my mission. But sometimes I will go for a fighter sweep at a field my side is trying to capture but I will carry eggs just in case they are needed for a ground strike but my scoring is set for fighter. I will suffer the score hit I take for bombing a ground target while operating in the fighter mode for the good of my side during an attack.
Alot of players that are only worried about score will not attack any ground units while in fighter mode because they dont want to mess up thier score or not attack air targets while in attack mode because MG rounds that miss in Air to Air count as misses against attack score.
I prefere not to worry to much about score. As mentioned above 3-4 GOOD strat bomb runs can lower your combined ranking by a couple of hundred places in one afternoon.

talk about score whoring.....
instead of milkrunning...try it on an enemy base dweeb....that might actually HELP your team.
instead of spawn camping...try fighting the GV's dweeb....might actually make you FEEL good for killing some1 on even ground.
might as well tell em to fly niki's and la7's and shot anything anytime in any positions.....instead of try spit5 and DEVELOP some skills at TnB....or a P51B and DEVELOPE some skills at BnZ...grab a YAK9-T and try reversal's and kill enemy who had advantage on you.....
once you have SKILL then worry about your scoring:cool:

Well, remember, the question was about scoring and rank, not winning the war. :)
The easiest way to do both is to (a) do gv assaults against vehicle bases (you can lay waste to the base AND get kills against whatever comes out of the hangar; and (b) A2G in a Corsair over an airfield - you can bomb and rocket the town then shoot down any aircraft that come up to contest you. PT boat runs against carriers (if the carriers are within range) are nice but very risky - better to go PT boat against the enemy PT boats after their carrier has gone down.
Once you've prepped the base, be the first one to grab an M3, LVT, or C-47 and drop those troops to boost your gv and bomber score.
The guys calling for troops are invitations to big scores!

why should some1 worry about scoring if he has NO SKILLS....
those said skills will help you more in your scoring then having no skills....
now he's gonna worry about scoring instead of giving enemy a GOOD fight.....which is why we play this game:D
-
:) As was pointed out, he asked how to increase rank, the steps I gave will do it without any skill what so ever.
also I did state "Air to air, this is the toughest to increase because it's the only one that requires any skill, the others just need time and targets".

It does take skill shootin from a moving panzer.....:eek:
scoring is easy.....scoring while helping your TEAM is another matter.....
this is a team based game.....not an individual players score game.....
I'd rather auger 5 kills to help a squad mate then to land em CAUSE it makes me LOOK GOOD...thats what score whoring is....lookin good :p

Actually it's a game that the guy that pays $15 bucks can play anyway he feels like it without having twits telling him how to play. If a guy plays for score, who in the hell are you to tell him any different? And I think you're the last person that can comment on anyone's skill level.

Plan on landing more of your sorties - Stop dying.
Yes, it's that easy. Fly to live. The longer you stay alive, the more damage you can do. That goes for all 4 categories.

snnnnooorrrrrkkkkk!!!!
that tidbit is so patently wrong. k/d is no more or less important than the other ranking factors. and k/d is only 1 out of several factors.
my fighter stats for current tour.
Kills 148
Assists 10
Sorties 62
Landed 12
Bailed 0
Ditched 0
Captured 3
Death 46 <---- i get shot down 75% of the time.
Disco 1
Time hh:mm:ss 13:11:31
Rank 39 <------ not too shabby is it? but it has very little to do with landing.

Exactly... do this and you'll be sub-400. Bet on it.

ask my squad mates of my skill level....they'll tell you not me.
you think I don't have any....I have enough to tell newbie's to get better at flyin then to worry about SCORE.
think of your team...if ya think about scoring....score helpin your TEAM(country)
we just think differently ack-ack...no need to point fingers and call names...just shows your age and intellect:p

The scoring system is so confusing and complicated that I doubt if anyone can explain it in enough detail, such that any pilot could figure out exactly what is happening to create your overall score. While there are those who would give you a general picture of the scoring system, it would take pages of mathematical formulas to give you the exact scoring system.
It's time to revamp the scoring system and make it much more simplified.

tatertot, forget about ranks and scores dude. We had a blast the other day pummeling each other in tanks.. it had nothing to do with rank. Find out what is fun for you in the game and stick to it. Whatever it is, someone will come along and tell you that you are doing it wrong, not playing the game right, or that you are just a plain old dweeb for doing it. Until they pay your $15.00/month, they really don't have any say. Do what is fun, it's why you are here(presumption)

Steve
def was a blast in tank city seems i get addicted to it and your right its my 15.00bucks haveing fun is whats it is all about.Mybiggest fault is not landing my kills i get greesy after laying waste to a base in a bomber trying to get more kills.i was just trying to understand it a little better .thanx to all who have replyed,ill def give all ideas a try but nowing me ill get frustrated in a fighter (I SEEM TO BE TERRIBLE) AND KEEP BOMBING AND TANK DRIVING.BUT I WILL SCORE SOME ATTCK STRIKES SEEMS I NEVER SCORED ANY BEFORE ANYWAY THANKS TO ALL AGAIN.

I have a question for the group. How does one get a field capture in attack mode?? Obviously its possible because my rank in that category goes up every day.

I don't think you can get a field capture in attack mode even though it's listed, at least I've never heard of a way.

used to be doable thru a bug.... get drunks out, exit and hit runway in attack plane before capture... it'd be scored under attack. supposedly fixed a while back. might be self correcting, not sure.
