110 Mission Points only for each Air to Air kill in Ground RB ?!

Hi all,

I was casually completing the “Pages of History” event that requires 20 000 Mission Points , while playing at least one of the vehicles in the selection.

I just noticed that Air to Air kills are rewarded with ~110 Mission Points each – which is abysmal !!!

I somehow feel that Mission Points have been nerfed - has anyone spotted anything odd ?

EDIT: Thank you to Players who mentioned the Severe Damage feature, it helps a bit:

If I include only Kills, Hits, Crits, Severe Damage, I get to 1359 mission points - which is 227 Mission Points per Air to Air Kill.

Not as dramatically low as I thought ! (though still very little for making relevant progress in Events and Pages of history)

Cheers!

Have you tried playing tanks in the tank mode? that may help in getting ground score

You’re just as useful as in all your other posts !

Are you sure you are kooking in the correvt place?

Planes use sevete damage mechanic.

When you:

  1. Destroy all engines
  2. Destroy over 50% of wing
  3. Destroy all control surfaces
  4. Blacken horizontal stab

You get a 0+1 kill on your service record telling you that enemy was severely damaged.

This gives you 80% of potential reward for the act.

When the enemy crashes or you kill the pilot/cut fuselage off you receive the remaining 20%. This is credited as destruction.

If someone else finishes the target you dont get the remaining 20%. Instead they get 1 kill credited for 40% of the reward.

Destruction is only 20% of reward unless you got the kill without dealing severe damage (pilot snipe or cutting tail off).

Look at severe damage instead.

In this case, I was the only one to deal damage and get the kill, I believe.

Thank you for the explanation !!

plane rewards (shooting one down, no matter if you’re in a Tank, heli or plane) have always been neglectably small

this is why we have this CAS problem, nobody concentrates on shooting down planes because the rewards aren’t worth it

if killing a plane got you as much SL/RP/Mission points as it influence the battle (2-3 times as much as killing an enemy tank) then everybody would focus on shooting the plane that just spawned

Shooting down planes is enough. The thought of helping your team is enough. I don’t sit there counting mission points.

If im not mistaken. Also included in that score would also be the damage to the enemy, critical damage to teh enemy and severe damage to the enemy. minus I assume 1x hit to a ground vehicle?

The score doesnt just come from killing something, it comes from also damaging it. Which is why you have 1900 score from 6x kills. 1 cap and 1 assist.

Though shooting down aircraft in CAP and especially SPAA could do with being a little better rewarded

I’m at my PC now.

Here’s the links discussing the severe damage mechanic, BR correction to score earned and expected score in GRB. For the first link, read the linked Gdoc.

I usually don’t either. I checked out of curiosity, as I found my progression for the Pages of History was very slow.

@RunaDacino @Morvran Thank you for your comments about the Severe Damage feature! That helps!

So, if I include only Kills, Hits, Crits, Severe Damage, I get to 1359 mission points - which is 227 Mission Points per Air to Air Kill.

Not as dramatically low as I thought ! (still very little for making relevant progress in Events and Pages of history) - adding this to first post!

Cheers !
