Multi-player ranks
« on: April 09, 2011, 04:57:22 PM »
I think it would add a lot of immersion if there were some sort of long-term ranks to achieve, similar to other online shooter games.

Something like:

Airman- 0 kills
Airman First Class- 5 kills
Senior Airman- 15 kills
Staff Sergeant- 30 kills
Technical Sergeant- 50 kills
Master Sergeant- 75 kills
Senior Master Sergeant- 105 kills
Chief Master Sergeant- 140 kills
Second Lieutenant- 190 kills
First Lieutenant- 250 kills
Captain- 320 kills
Major- 400 kills
Lieutenant Colonel- 490 kills
Colonel- 600 kills

You could then display on the player tags. Thoughts?

and score is not who the true "good" players are measured.  ;)

 The current ranking system only shows who know how to stack the score in their favor.  If HTC would be able to tie the ranking and scoring to the actual plane used I bet the whole "best 100" would be turned upside down.  Currently, the scoring and ranking is the same if the kills and damage are scored in a Tempest as it is in a P40B.   :)

Plenty of people would be getting at least captain within a month.

<------  9 or 10 years here can't really remember what year it was when I took my first flight offline and got hooked. :)    So I think I want a generals star for each year played :P

 So no this idea really wouldn't work well in my opinion.

AIRMAN? Why that sounds like something from a comic book.

-1 to the idea, but you could make it more workable by having average # of kills per tour rather than just the sum of all kills. Even then it would be skewed heavily by GVs and people who can get several thousand kills in a tour by spawn camping.
