Is points scored the formula for squad ranking? I thought it was kills versus other squads.

Yes points scored by squad decides the ranking.

i thought it was points collected jointly that are divided up among all squad members ie active squad mates need to redeem those points after a week they are lost so non active squad members are detrimental to your squad going up ?

Roy you are talking about vault but for ranking every point scored by squad is counted i.e, kills, Hangars, wins collectively by members of that squad.

From the announcement about squad wars and vault points:

zuperman wrote:
There is a ranking system that you can see....
I'm working the UI for the game, but the stats are there.

What it does is the following:
- Every kill you get, it will check if the other person is in a different squadron and then add the result to your stats and squadron points.
- Every enemy hangar you bomb, it also adds points to the squadron.
- More points will be added little by little (still working on it, on things like bombing the carrier and so on).

The idea is that whatever good any member of your squadron does, it will have a positive impact on your squadron statistics.


So the points for squad wars are not all the same points as players earn in game. Points earned for wins and losses are not counted, shooting down squad mates doesn't count for or against, Zeppelin games don't affect squad wars. Things that count may change with any update. ;)

The Vault points are a whole different matter. That is based upon total points earned by all of the players of a squad. When you earn points you also put just as many points into your squad's vault. All of the points that go into the vault are then evenly distributed as "coins" to each squad member. (Coins are useful for purchasing planes, upgrades, etc...) If a squad member doesn't collect their coins, their share of the coins expire. So if someone has not checked in for more than 7 days they are wasting a resource which other members of their own squad have earned.

So when someone is "point farming" by only playing empty games, shooting zeppelins, etc... they are increasing their rank and adding to the squad vault but they are only contributing points for hangars (or carriers if Zup has added that yet) toward squad wars. Lol, in fact if someone in your squad is focusing only on downing the Zeppelin while defenders are shooting them down over and over, they are earning rank points for themselves and coins for the squad vault, but they are decreasing your squad's Squad Wars status.

Ok, totally confused now, and not sure what to think. But I like the vault feature.

Hey Blue, did I hear that if a Squadmate shoots down a squad mate they get no points toward squad wars?
Had many games this week with many misfit in the same game on both sides. If that is the way it is, I wonder what the logic was?

The "squad" part is nice...although we can't choose teams (yet), it does no harm to your squad's ranking to shoot red squadmates. So fight for all you're worth. Heck, i suppose if you're going to get shot down, you're better off it is by a squad mate. :blink: :lol:

Very valid question raised by @Gaw.

As McFate mentioned, same squad kill will have no effect in Inter Squad Stats (there is no comparison shown [M]isfit v/s [M]isfit).

But the line "Every kill you get, it will check if the other person is in a different squadron and then add the result to your stats and squadron points." implies what @Gaw said is right i.e., no points if you shoot your own squad member. It needs to be clarified from Zuperman because as per his statement the points will not be added if you are on the same squad.

Thanks Blue, you got it. I hope it gets looked at.

I have been in a few games lately with only Misfits on both sides. I suppose no plane kills will be counted toward squad wars in such an encounter. It is happening a lot lately that we have Misfits opposing Misfits. I am sure other squads are experiencing this as well.
