Zup your idea is good but its taking candy from a baby! 4 lvl 1s against lvl 23 with maxed DV no chance if you keep it this way then they should get tier 2 planes for free maxed it would only be fair! Cause this now is so not fair to noobs! And I may even stop playing because of it cause its not a challenge yeah its free XP and points so faster lvl up but it was better when you had to work to get your XP and points!!

Good points Speedkills, I do agree that maybe giving new players a little better equipped plane would help them, but I do like the level playing field, its more authentic and fun interacting and conversing with noobs. Theres lots of pros and cons, agree, disagree...agree to disagree....lol, but it is a war game and everyone should be able to fly together in my opinion.
Haha RedBaroness got her wish!

this way, if you recruit low ranked players you can actually fly with them. i may have to go back to allowing non level 8's to join my squad. could be interesting.....

If you are higher or equal to rank 10, you will always be on the higher end servers.
If you are lower, then I use your kill/death ratio to calculate where to place you. I use the existing average so it's not a fixed number. If you are worse than the average players, you will continue on lower end servers until you hit rank 10. But if you are higher than average, even if you are rank 3, you may find yourself against a MORAF.

My guess is that a rank 3 vs a moraf server will soon be back to low end servers, but at least they have a chance to experience it and who knows, maybe the are actually the next red baron

I'd just like to add Speed, that 4 level 1s against level 23 player won't happen, that's unless those level ones have skills equal to or better then level 10, and they will move back to the lower server if they can't take the big guns.

Really, when I was a noob I LOVED fighting the big guns, and back then I had an awful kdr, it made my the pilot I am!

I agree horrible, I'm glad that we maybe able to fly with recruits of all levels, that will be very fun and pilots will be able to get into better squads faster.

Wow, great info from Zuperman, thanks RedBaroness!...that makes much better sense.

No problem Templar, I want to make sure everything's clear for everyone, so there's no confusion!

If you have seen four lvl 1 against lvl 23 take a picture because in theory that should be impossible. Nobody above level 10 goes to the noob servers.
Only the guys lower than level 10 can go to the pro servers and that's when they have a pretty good ratio. I believe you would need to have a minimum of 4 kills and 0 deaths to be even considered to give it a try and at that point you already moved to level 2 since level 1 is pretty easy to pass with a few kills.

Right after you made the switch Zup I had 4 lvl one or 2 vs me if it does it again I will screenshot it.

You make a great point.

well, let's give it a few days with the new system and then do a poll as to what's the general feeling. I think it's too early to have an opinion. I see low ranks on there but they also got a kill... and killing one that is 10 ranks above you gives you some nice points

The only thing I have against flying against many new players......is often their language. Lol

Don't most of us take it kinda easy on noobs? (Although we try to build their caracter a bit.....humility amongst other things)

Thing is though, that on the noob server I thought of myself as the biggest fish in the pond........rude awakening when someone threw me into the sharktank with the big guys.

Main thing should be that new players have a chance to have fun and get into it. Why not make that option available to test their skills with the big guys?

Forgive me but what does xp mean.?

Experience Points = XP

It's the points you earn for shooting down a plane or landing safely in your chute or hitting a Zep, etc.

But look at that! The lowest rankers got a kill each, looks like they didn't do so bad and they got the experience of flying against a very good pilot like you! Win, win?
