Well, if you ask so I can do it in no time. (just kidding  )
I am reading all your messages about scoring system and rankings with attention. If I don't replyed to this matter yet was only to see all your proposals.
We need to find some kind of balancing with statistics: There is a list where even a newbye can hope to climb to the top in not too much time (the "Rank by average points in each game" list) and a list where you have to play a lot to have a possibility to climb to the top (the "Rank by number of won games").
The "Rank by shot down planes" list is a mix between this two kind of lists. You have to play a lot even if you win often, but to have a good kill/death ratio give you the possibility to climb toward to top faster.
Every list give you different impulses: the "Rank by average points in each game" push you to play against a lot of enemy, because this way it's possible to make a lot of points shooting down several planes. The "Rank by shot down planes" list push you to play one vs one, because this way being shot down by an overwhelming planes moltitude never happens.
It's very unlikely for a player being on the top of every list in the same time, and this is a good thing in our opinion.

This list should be of the same kind of the "Rank by average points in each game" list. It can be a new statistic list, but I don't see it as a replacement for a list we have now.

Same problem as above.

I thought a lot of players wanted to challenge you to prove their value in combat. Being on the top is not always a good thing, expecially when several planes decide to hunt you first because you are the greater manace.
Let's say it that way: the Red Baron score was about how much planes he shooted down or about the kill/death ratio?

Yes. This is in the ToDo list since long time. It's even easy to do, but we would like to change the statistic page just one time, applying all changes in the same time.
There is another possibility about using differences between pilots' points ratio to calculate the final score.
An example (for chess playing) can be found here' target='_blank'>http://www.playsite.com/t/games/board/chess/rating.html">here.
This formula works only if there are just 2 players, but we could consider every squad as a player, and this way it should work.
What do you (all of you) think about it?
Bye for now
