My math is horrible so maby my numbers are off. Just for reference sake I'm using to compare numbers with two pilots. One I know the other I don't. These are there numbers as of today 10/11/15 and mine. Here it goes.

W.R #132.Dutch joke. W.R #148 VIP
K. 38,293. K.45,917
H. 1,465. H.2,411
D. 20,523. D.24,413
W. 3,265. W.4,714

W.R # 110 Lowden clear (bud) hasen't even been on last month.
45,917
2,624
28,000
3,013

I'm just curious how exactly these pilots are ranked where they are when clearly my numbers are superior to theres. Ducth and clear r both superb pilots. What kind of math constant is being used to determine WR, CONSTANT,MEAN,MEDIUM,?

Rank is by points, not kills or wins. So if you play lots of zepplin games you get lots of points quickly, so game shopping can help.

Also crashed are a loss of point as are shooting blue (i lost 1000 points killing a lagging blue tank bombing our hangars last week)

Plus things aren't recorded, like hits on a carrier and landings in a chute, but still generate points.

To me sir tailzzzzzz it's always been a bit of a mystery. ....

Yes... Hammer is correct. I couldn't figure it out for nothing. But it is definitely points. And as a MORAF, there are no higher levels so it gives us morafs something to shoot for being in top 100, 50, or even the distinguished top 10. It's about competition to me

The point scoring system changed a while back too. Now that it is only accumulated points, it has become mostly a measure of who plays the most and who finishes the most games. Other than getting more points for wins, there is very little consideration of skill in world rank.

"...absolutely nothing! Say it again!" Oh wait this says world rank what is it good for not war. Sorry carry on.

I thought the same thing.

Very little consideration of skill? I must object. I only play a few games every couple of days. I'm ranked #7, I would hope I have gained a tiny teeny bit of skill. Maybe I am just "lucky".

Well, it stands to reason that those 2ho have played most would be better on average...

Or, those that can take you down when you are but a speck in the sky.

Freakin, Pea!

I always thought if I was going to lose a game for instince, a carrier game I would always quit wright befor for reds won. I thought I would lose points for the loss,I didn't always think like this I just played to play. How I'm so wrong I realized if I would have stayed and took the loss it would make a huge difference in placing in world rank. I played like that for a long long time. Pilots like plur who defy the odds and win our losses maintain there position,nothing against plur he is a great pilot,our use to be. The pilots that say FINISH games win our lose I agree with,it defentily is a major contributor if u want to decend in the W.R. Also what does the er our ef stand for when u moraf for points a don't know what that is our means,lol.
