Re: What in variables factor into rank progression?
@Darth_GrumpyCat All players on the same team all get the same points change irrespective of score/ KDR etc. Play to win as a team not to come first on the score board.

- @Flatulent_Rancor Private joker in the house, eh? That's the score I get by 100% playing for the win, I couldn't care less for kill highscores in fleet battles. This scores are just the result when you're the only one doing so and the 4 others just keep flying straight into death over and over again, randomly shooting some AI and that's it. And no, that's not a one-time bad experience, it's 50% of the matches I get on average. I go out there, do my effing job, defend our cruisers, our flagships, turn the tide every now and then, bomb the cap ships- just because the majority of my so called team doesn't. But since I can't be everywhere at once it usually ends up in a loss, punishing me for wasting my time with idiots. So spare me with rambo attitude accusations when the ranking algorithm is simply bs for a game that's focused around quick matches with random people. thank you.
Seems like a lot of matches are one person doing the work while others are just doing whatever passes into their sites. Deliberately crashing into obstacles when they are about to get waxed (pilot error) or just doing weird random stuff instead of objectives. Fleet battles has strong emphasis on team work, but rarely actually see it. Rank system is rubbish at the moment, I've stopped looking at it because it only adds frustration.
- @Darth_GrumpyCat You missed my point. I was merely pointing out that It doesn't matter what your individual score or KD etc is that will not affect the magnitude of the win or loss. That appears to be determined by how evenly matched the game thinks the two team are (but it dos seem to punish losses more than it rewards wins - have a look at the last post here https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/3-rank-increase-Really/td-p/9708328/page/2 ).
