fighters
well k/d doesnt matter as much because the huge disparity at the top compared to the button.....
k/t is a very tight category a .20 and a .18 maybe 200 points apart.
Same with hit percentage its a tight category.
basically kill and kill fast and do it efficently is the best way to achieve fighter rank.
buffs
as fer training facility you can get a btter buff rank by using 6 2000k bombs. Dont even use the 3 500s. you can wipe out all 3 blocks of tents. and maintain a very hi hit percentage. Kills and deaths in buffs dont matter a bit except if you get shot dwn with a full load of bombs then they (i think) are counted against your hit percentage.
Its alway better
for rank to rtb then ditch your ord or die without dropping ord on target.
Attack
same with buffs you wanna kill the most structures with the least bombs.
then revert to fighter mode kill kill fast kill efficently
190a8 fer example take 1 500kg drop on a fh / vh whatever then finish off by strafing. 1 bomb 1 structure ded hit perctage goes up because all the ammo expanded on the ez to hit fh/vh whatever.
Now a p38 or jug has much more ord. But take a p47d30 for instance 2 x 1000 1x 500 all three dropped on a fh kills it. But you used 3 bombs to 1 structure.
the 190a8 will have a better attack score for his sortie compared to the d30. the d30 can cause more damage per sortie say a a twn or a factory but most attack fhs.
vh/fh/bh are not good
rank targets. the towns cities and factories are. Dunno if this is bye
design but if the dedicated buffers every figure we actually have a strat model that is to their benefit to exploit we would get less of fh killing, fight spoiling, buff dweebs.
GVs
you need air kills / gv kills but you need to kill structures as well. again the towns cities factories are better target for
rank then air bases.
you need field captures as well you wanna fire some pt rockets into a twn or factory or hit the tf with torps.
Again I have written intensively about rank in several threads even providing pictures. On our squad bbs I have went into great detail.
But overall the way to success is through finding some fun.
Read the help pages they will tell you everything you need to know.
Also resupply is better for rank because you can hit the target over and over......
All the fluffers who constantly whine about "strat" and how buffs arent appreciated etc is pure bs. They dont know wtf their doing and they get no sympathy from me.
Remember jabo/bomb/gv the twn leave field suppression to the fighters. leave the fhs up so they can vulch and work on targets that not only benefit you but your country mates as well.
The worst sin you can commit against you country mates is to kill the fhs where a good fight or vulch is at. If you buffers keep that up then their will always be a gap between the fighter and bomber community.
Yes I have an agenda read any reply I have made in the fluff threads.
