It is a common misconception that a good score is so easy to attain that you 'could if you wanted to.' Flying extremely safe, while helping Kill/Death, hurts Kill/Time so dramatically (depending on how 'safe' you fly) that you won't be in a top spot. Trust me, achieveing a high rank takes alot more than most give it credit for.

TJ, the thread is specifically on K/D... not score in general. Either way, I can easily bump my score by only fighting in situations where I'm not out numbered, and I can have a score below 100, but I choose not to, because its more exciting to struggle. If you have good aim, you can rake in kills at a furball when your side has a numerical adv. I have had numerous fights where I've pulled in 7-10+ kills in p51D or 5~7 kills in a k4, where if I was totally out numbered, I'd be lucky to pull in 3 and make it back.


This day has been forever marked for me, Doras are now considered score-wh!@#ish!  :aok  :D

no ride is 'dweeby', its how the pilot chooses to fly.  :aok


Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

Same here, to me the other stats are rather useless for me to gauge whether or not I'm improving.  By looking at my hit percentage these last few tours compared to the tours prior to the update that changed the head position views and gunsight, I saw a significant drop of at least 4-5% after the update.  After I figured out the cause (due to my old gunsight) and started to use a gunsight that Bustr had made for me, my hit percentage as steadily improved and now I'm at around 9%, just 2-3% shy of what my average used to be prior to the update.  I just have to work on my long range shots (shots beyond 600yds) now.

ack-ack  

Totally agree!

I do think Hoagi would be in for a beating Sir.  I would say I am about 50/50 win loss with Hoagi myself, and I suck.  Junky would eat him alive. :aok

What is a good fighter kill to killed ratio.
K/D > 1 starts to get good. It means that you moved to being more predator than pray.

On the other hand, if your K/D>4 it just means that you are not really fighting. To really have fun instead of just stroking one's E-peen (iPeen for Apple users), one must balance the risks he is taking with his success rate. If one is so good that he can win any encounter 9 out of 10 time, he needs to find harder encounters. Some of the best players in AH have a good but unimpressive K/D between 2-4.
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

Any K/D above 1 is a good ratio. That means you have more success than fail, and thats basically a good feeling. Above 1, everything depends on your style, and on what is fun for you. For an example, vDALLAS. He always flies doras, comes in high, picks and pulls up as high as he can, and has a K/D of 2. I have the same K/D ratio flying the g-6s low and without SA. And Krupinsky or Pervert has about the same K/D altough they beat me in 1v1 7 of 10 times.

So dont care about the score, it shows nothing. Just have fun!

Score means nothing because its too easy to 'game' at the expence of a good gaming env.

If we all flew me262s, p51s or 190d9s, and only fought when we had an overwhelming adv, then we could have very high scores, but the game would be ruined and it would no longer be fun, because combat would be avoided, and its the adrenalin rush from the struggle, the fight that brings most of us to the game, not the I killed 200 guys with out getting killed because I dove in from 20k, took the pick and ran home (you would get bored of this fast too).
you add my plane in and theres quite a few others you should also :noid

Score is too easily manipulated. play to have fun. Personally, i play for the challenge and the kills. I love slaughtering a good 3-5 and rtbing :aok
