Logged off last night, K/d was well over 10, K/S was over 5.
Logged on today... K/D was under 9, K/S was under 5.
GDWTF?
Nobody is aware of any resets of data....WTF?
-
Stats are updated immediately...rank is the only thing updated daily.
-
Stats are no longer updated 24 hours a day but rather at 10am CT everyday. So what a score potato sees in his stats when he logs off will most likely not be the same when he logs on the next day after the data base has been updated.
Ack-Ack

You're implying I'm a score potato? That's just plain idiotic.
Like everything I do in life, I'm always trying to improve. This tour, I'm (or was) working on my K/S. It's fun to achieve goals, try it some time. You ignorantly assumed my motivations were something they are not... next time ask, instead of spewing things that make you look like a love muffin.
-
Oh and you are wrong. Stats updated almost immediately, it's only the rank portion that updates daily. Do I need to explain this to you further?
-
I played w/ rank last tour... the only benefit was being able to control CV's at will... was fun in that regard. Rank os way too gamey. Milkrun a few cities and your bomb rank will be nice and high... lob some rockets from a pt boat at something, then spawn camp a couple times and your vehicle rank will be fairly high. Just too easy to manipulate.

I thought your original post did.

AKAK,
LOL.. one could take it that way, huh bud?
I try to improve certain things each tour... if I ever get to a point where I feel I'm an experte.. i'll really work on my K/T.
I worked on rank for the entirety of last tour. There were times, when I was working on the things needed to maintain a high overall rank, that I just wasn't having fun.
I'd like to have my K/T higher...and still have fun. Gonna work on that one day. :)

Have to stop cherry picken'... ;)

As long as I kill more than I die, I'm happy.
Which explains why most of my flights over the weekend were in the early-war and mid-war planes: A6M2, A6M5, P51B, C205, FM2. It was kind of funny - I engaged a LA7 while I was in a B-stang and he shot me down, then he promptly bugged out to go land his kill. I laughed thinking about his disappointment when he got to the Hangar and realized he only got a paltry amount of points for his effort.

I don't and haven't for a while. It's too damn boring and takes much more patience than skill. Been furballin in SpitV and FM2. Great fun, helps improve reflexes and SA.

wrong wrong wrong.......join me on a few runs and you'll see ya don't need to milkrun or be a cherry picker or spawn camp to have high ranking.........
squaddie said 'hey slowhand....your ranked 17th'......and I said who gives a chit.....and proceded my total destruction of acks and strat in my TANK :D .....thats how you get high ranking......just kill everything:D ....and land em.
not 1 run was done milkrunning or cherry pickin......got 3 other squadies who are always top 10...and not 1 cherry picks or milkruns fac's......we just do things mostly as teammates and support each other......

Hahaha you fediddlein deserve it ya cherry pickin, runin score potato:D
-
Hheheh deserve what?
BNM my point was, I don't cherry pick any more than the next guy. The whole cherry picking thing is rather irksome anyway. I mean, in a furball, how can anything be considered cherry picking? Is a furball supposed to be a mass of 20 or so guys all flying 1v1's? Technically, if you shoot anyone who you are not immediately engaged with, and who is engaged with anyone else, it's cherry picking. Silly really.
I have been flyin the FM2 this tour as well, fun little plane!

SLO quote: wrong wrong wrong.
Really? What exactly is wrong wrong wrong with my statement?

In that FM2 UBERPLANE of yours, Steve. I never felt so humiliatedin my life as last night when that slow, underpowered FM2 handed me my head. Definitely, I was not cherry-picked. I was raped.
:eek:

Scoring is wierd.
I have only 1 sortie in a vehicle today. I killed three other vehicles with it then "landed". So far so good, but here is where the numbers deviate from reason - it shows 0% for Hit percentage vs. Enemies. What did I hit these fellows with then?
(As it has evolved, scoring has grown (overly?) complex and
awkward. I am sure the math is working as intended but it is sometimes hard to translate what is going on in all those numbers. I know some people make a life out of chasing these numbers around, going to ridiculous extremes to do so and great for them. None of this effects the price of beer, so I don't care a whole lot, but a more simplified system would not upset me one bit.)

You gotta watch Steve rshubert. He is one hell of a shot.

Shubie, that was about the most fun in a single fight I've ever had in the game... wasn't that crazy?
