Refine Kills/Time Stat

[Lazerr]

And add average airspeed per sortie.  Might help weed out some of the 1 pass and haul bass type.  The lower the airspeed the better.

At least the supersonic pass then extend a sector for the next pass while good for the k/d ratio is piss poor for k/h

[DmonSlyr]

I dislike K/H in attack mode. See no reason for it considering people are flying heavy jabos that take time to get to a base.

Also, I do wish the scoring took into consideration ENY or something like you said where it encourages players to fly in harder slower planes.

I never understood the fly in at 500 mph, extend for ever, then come back and try again. Being aggressive in many instances will get you the kill rather than extending for miles.

Yeah i understand some people like to play to live, even I do sometimes, but the arena needs something to spice up the quality of fights more.  This might make guys more prone to defe d the base in different ways than supplies, and like you said, maybe see a few more hangar queens in the air.

I up my 38 to defend with a 3 to 1 mass coming. We are fighting and the they have 262s show up over the fight. You can't control what folks are going to do and keep everyone happy.

If you really want to make stats more accurate count every time a plane leaves the ground as a sortie.  As they did on WWII. 

The rearm pad skews this making a sortie last forever for a very careful pilot.

+1 on your idea too.

Sort of... until you run out of WEP. Guess that helps the yak3 m

Just get rid of death stats.

Rank= Kills, damage.  kill ratio causes people to fly to live.

Drop all the Per/Hour and hit% stats.  They aren't a measure of quality of play or skill. Their effect is to allow people that play fewer hours to rank higher. is that good for the game?

Maybe its time to simplifying it.  To rank higher, break more stuff.

I really think you guys that think K/D being counted in score contributes to people flying timidly are completely wrong that "score" is the reason people fly to live.  People that fly to live are not worried about their score standings.  They simply do not want to die.  Full stop.

I'm with you on this one. Most people just don't want to die to have to re up and fly back to a base long distance. I also think its just natural instint in many cases. I also think most players don't know what else to do in some cases. Flying too timidly also negatively effects the rest of your score.

Its partly about balance. If you just used total kills, take a la7 or n1k and ho everything in sight and then just reup immediately and repeat

I have found that trees even things out.... in the end.

The trees will get you eventually no matter hard you try to stay alive.

Then changing it won't matter. So change it
