I was talking with one of my fellow corp mates, Leadfoot10, and we were talking about the kinds of players we like to play the game with. While many players on this game will boast a high KDR as a barometer to measure that they are not "scrubs", many of them have a very low Win/Lose ratio. As Leadfoot10 and myself find that KDR can mean absolutely nothing as a stat he proposed that KDR x2 + W/L Ratio. for example a 1.50 KDR and a 2.50 W/L would be a 5.50 Efficiency Rating. With this in mind I agree with Leadfoot10 and would say that a player with a 5.0 or greater is a good player that you would want to have on your team. Thoughts?

I think you should find your own twinkie and pursue that for your happiness and don't worry about what other's gauge as the one almighty 'Twinkie'. As a vehicle operator, I enjoy taking a look at KDR from time to time, but my twinkie would have to be good fights, win or lose, where I kill many suits and tanks of the enemy and duel other great tanks.

I'm talking about having a something to measure others by.

You would not compare a Tank Operator versus a Dropship Pilot, Infantry versus Vehicles, a hacker scout versus a stand and deliver heavy. Win-to-Loss in Pubs would be tough one, especially with the random competence levels found in blueberries.

My performance is on-par with what a vehicle operator needs to do, but effectiveness varies greatly from map to map and situation to situation. I can usually get a good body count by the end of the match and push points hard. So I would consider my rating pretty solid. Good KDR mixed with solid, but lower, W-t-L ratio and I am okay by that bar, but its too linear for a game such as DUST imho.

Without infantry to counter them, I am spending time evading picking kills off from the fringe of the group, or surprise blitz-and-runs, which are enjoyable but not effective without infantry to fill the vacuum.
