Now if you get on the cap at the last moment you get only a few points instead of 200.
Thanks Gaijin… fantastic change!

I assume the way it works is the same way we have it in Ground Battles. This will further disincentivize people from doing anything PvP related, which is already a big issue in Air SB because of the way the useful action mechanic. Don’t get me wrong, PvE is an important part of the Air SB ecosystem, but the capture points are the only objective in Air sim that’s entirely PvP oriented. It brings every fighter in the lobby to a single square on the map because people see it as worth assisting capturing, and by attempting to do so they can be forced into a PvP situation. People will start ignoring capture points just like they already ignore bomber and strike AI aircraft at higher tiers because of the minuscule rewards.
If the only way to get a substantial amount of score from capturing a point is by spending 5 minutes flying in a circle all by yourself, if capturing a point with your teammates means spitting the reward between multiple players - less people will feel persuaded to capture points.
