Everyone has glitches so they crash alot becouse of them too. And since ur a chaser that means u have a little more crashes than a person that fights head on. Not all but most.

I have had my share of glitches since I play without wifi. My controls usually lock while in a slow spiral into terra firma. But when this happens I leave the game and check that my RAM is clear, I don't just keep playing till it happens more. "You've got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em. Know when to walk away, and know when to run." I accept my glitch crashes but I do not welcome them.

just counting kills n deaths is misleading.

heres how,

someone could spawnkill over n above what is necessary to win the game. They will collect many kills. But at the end is that really skill
or just an appetite for numbers.

spawnkilling is one of the ways in wich a Kill count could be 'inflated'

I dont think you can quantify 'skill' in this game based on just kill n death alone

I usually go by the chart because it paints an overall picture and weighs some of the most important factors however, like bomer said, I wish it would also include losses and also, carriers bombed

this is how i fly !!! :)

Okay...now that you young guns have throughly confused us MOMs...with numbers.
Would you start a spelling and grammer thread?
WE can spell and write, but we don't do numbers too well. Thanks!

Here's a start: ur= you are, you're, your.
wat= what
ill= I'll, I will, unless less you are sick
offical= official
etc....

Besides, the ladies like a guy that sounds educated. Just ask our ladies here.

bopes wrote: I suck too (no surprise there!), if I'm doing the calculation right.

So in plain english, is it like this:

K / [(K/C) / (K/D)] = Skill

?


Also, if hangars bombed (H) and won games (W) are products of skill (S), then there oughta be a way to factor in H and W to the equation to arrive at some ultimate number of bad-assedness, no? Let's call it your mojo (M).

Maybe M = (H + W) / S.

Of course, if we want to express all variables in ratios relative to K, the complete Mojo equation might look something like this:

M = K / ( { K / [(K/H) / (K/W)] } / { K / [(K/C) / (K/D)] } )

:) :P :blink:



bopes that looks good... But you forgot the SF (suck factor).. so:


M = K / ( { K / [(K/H) / (K/W)] } / { K / [(K/C) / (K/D)] } ){SF} [] = You should play PONG

SheiBe you may have hit on the Grand Unified Theory of DogFight and perhaps the universe . . .

If only Einstein had thought to take into account the Suck Factor, he might have succeeded in reconciling Newtonian with Quantum physics.

His brain must be spinning in its jar right now.

Yes, We M.O.M's are a regular "Gypsy Caravan Band of Knowledge"..

I was going to mention the "CF"= Cake Factor... But that changes the formula, to equate to a small nuclear device.. Be careful.. :ohmy:

My KD ratio is almost 2:1

1492 Kills, 742 Deaths (414 of those are Crashes caused by stupid reasons, so I've been shot down 228 times)

I don't like to get shot down much, so I almost always drop my bomb. I'm not a bomber, I'm a fighter. Sue me. :P
