score

Does score factor in ENY? If not, why?

It seems to me that it should. Score should be calculated at the end of each flight as it is now, then multiplied by ENY of the vehicle you had chose for the sortie.

Just a thought, see you dweebs next month

How would you want score to affect ENY, and hence perk gathering?  Better scores increase perks earned or decrease perks earned?  Either seems like a bad idea to me.  In the first case you give more perks to players that are better, in a general sense, than others and in the latter case it is easy to game it to have a bad score.

Umm, I think my point was eny should be factored into score. I said nothing about score affecting eny

I thought it was via the perk multiplier or some such thing......I really have no idea how score works though could be totally wrong

[phatzo]

Really guys, come one. Score doesn't mean squat. I was having a conversation with a squaddie the other day about not being able to make scenarios, FSO etc. etc. due to the fact that I'm now a free agent and have a bit of a life. He laughed it off and said that its incredible what being married can do for your score, when he was married he made it to #2 in fighters and now he's lucky to get #1000. So we should get rid of wives because they are an unfair advantage.

No

If not, why?

Because HT did not want to.
It has been proposed by different players various times and I vaguely remember HT himself saying "no" when it was my turn to do so (by including perk & eny modifiers).

Hmm, too bad. It might encourage folks to fly a wider variety of rides. I realize it would do nothing about "score manipulation" but it would be marginally more difficult to vulch with a wildcat or C202 than a chog or tamponst while in "fighter mode'. 


I think it would be a simple multiplier to add to the current system, all the tools exist already

"Increasing variety" was also my own hope for this, but of course we then would have a lot of very heated arguments on the BBS about how valid the ENY values for certain fighters are. I think there would be a distinct migration towards a handful ENY 15-25 rides.

I was thinking why not increase the ENY value to 50 instead of 40, my general thinking would be if someone ups a C202 at 50 eny and manages to nail a spit16 he would be rewarded quite nicely, and thus the spit16 shooting down the c202 would gather absolutely no perks.

I believe it would give a little more breathing room for certain ENY aircrafts, and I don't think anyone would suffer - if you ride in an La7 all day you don't deserve perks anyhow, it would take learning a P40 or such.

Pretty sure my idea is going to get flamed

We already had that - ENY had a bigger range (60?) until about 5 years ago. But as far as I can remember (would have to look up the numbers later) this had not a big effect on the popularity of very high eny planes. For all but the most gifted of pilots, a middle-ground ENY plane will always be the best choice for perk farming, balancing potential reward (high perk gain) with actual plane capability (=chance to actually kill a lot of enemies in it).

Well some adjustments are needed anyhow, HT could do themselves a favor and poll everyone who has played more than 5 years and get "accurate" ENY speculations for how the planes are actually used in AH. I'm quite sure veterans of this game would be objective and honest for the most part!
