Kills per sortie / hour

[nrshida]

I think this part of the score is a bit unfair to people who play in off-peak times. For instance it’s not uncommon to chase disappeared darbars and end up bailing out to move to different bases and try again.

Can some allowances be made for arena content?

Agreed.   I think the entire scoring system is gamey.   When you can rank in the top 40 for a tour with only one sortie that’s not good.  Maybe a minimum number of sorties to qualify?

It seems like those that spend the longer times in the game come out on top as well. I think making the scoring more complicated as well as the formula not being available to the public (much like the ENY formula  ) with weighted catagories would make it a truer scale to judge by. As it is now it is far to easy to game.

You will not stay in the top 40 for long as you will not build any kill or damage points.

I also think the scoring system is unfair to those who do not care about it.

I don't bother with GVs or Attack things, whatever they are, I always get zeros in those columns yet they still go toward my overall score. My rank is always so bad I'm not able to take control of my county's toilet cleaning service vans, let alone a CV group.

It's the proverbial outrage!

Yes, opting out on your end an scoring as anonymous on the other end seems reasonable! 

Or just keep useful data for youself such at hit % etc.

A revamp of the scores would be awesome, so much more data available that would be cool to see, even if not weighted.

I did it a few tours ago.  It was not hard. 

Kill points are just not that valuable compared to other stats.

The numbers are easy. Lusche posted this picture in another thread.



If your ranked in the 500 range your not going to see much change over all for the tour as most players will continue to be in the same area. If you have a couple runs with a high K/D and a great hit percentage (hammer buffs with low caliber rounds) you can score high in the ranking. More luck than skill really. The only skill is knowing what to shoot when and how is what gets you a high ranking, not really any skill in the game itself, unless of course THAT is the game you are playing.....scoring.

On the serious side.  I fly almost every sortie as an attack sortie so I can kill or blow up everything.  I'll shoot a plane, a vehicle, a gun, a bomber, a ship, a bunker, a hangar, well you get the picture.  This insures the earning of perks for the activity.  Not so much worried about the scoring as the perks for the toys when I want to fly them.  I do get what you are saying though on the lower arena numbers vs. kills per sortie.  Makes sense if you are interested in scoring.  Nothing wrong with that pursuit Sir.

With today's lack of action and 6 hour rule,  I agree. It is indeed an unfair scoring mechanic nowadays.

Score means nothing.

Fun means everything.

[DubiousKB]

only time I've cared about rank is to steal CV control...

LOOK AT ME, I AM THE CAPTAIN NOW.

I used to be good looking

And used to score all the time
