Hence, why the LW server will never see someone in the high ranking places using less than 5-10 ENY planes.       

Low ENY rides help a lot, but there are many examples of players reaching #1 in planes with much higher ENY, like 109K or P-38.
Getting there in a C.202 would be a feat though Wink


Wait, it does or it does not? To clarify my question: Does flying a higher eny plane effect the other facets of ranking? I.e. do you get more points for higher eny kills/object damage?

Sorry that I was a bit unclear. Low Eny rides 'help' inasmuch as it's easier to get a lot of kills in short time and getting home. The advantages of the Tempest over the, let's say, C.202 are pretty much obvious in that regard.
But beyond that, ENY or OBJ of a plane have no direct influence on the score itself.

Thank you.

Sorry, but you should rather wonder how it comes that someone with a K/D of only 7.49 is suddenly to be found at #1

No, this is not another false modesty "I'm just an unworthy noob" "tirade, not  an "awwwww...*blush*... come on guys..."

I'm quite serious.

For many years I had much, much 'better' tours (the current one is only my 27th best!) without any chance of ending up at number one at all. And my 'best tours' score-ways had been above that one in tour 155. But suddenly I get to the top three times in a row. Without having become any better, neither in 'real skill' and definitely not in my score.
Where have all the real top fighters gone, that someone like me who spent allmost all of his sorties hunting bombers at 25k and above is now #1?

Honestly, this is how I feel this month/tour so far, my overall rank is rediculously up.  I swear, I'm not that good

Attack mode K/H look very similar



In tour 80 the great Arena Split happened, going from 1 single main to EW, MW, LW, LW format and arena caps. That might have had a slightly bigger impact...
