its bombing airfield worth? yesterday i tried dropping X13 1000lb bombs on airfield, hit modules, didnt even got 300 points, show me your secret
I have no idea how much i get per sortie without going and looking, but 300 seems a tad low, so I guess some bombs are missing?
But 90% of my score id get from enemy player kills and less so from the bombing, it just some easy passive income
Edit: Tested in Buc S2. 16x Bombs (4x Mk13, 12x Mk1) = 665 score when dropped on the runway
So EC is actually counted in these events?
That sucks for everyone else to be real, and a real reason why the sim portion of the issue with the botters and the PvE wanters should be really slapped a lot.

Yep and gets 3x score multiplier. So Sim is plagued with botters during events.
But as a Sim main, Id hate to be forced to grind these events in RB instead.

I’m not complaining. The zomber tears are fueling my Tomcat grind. 1 single EC match is all it takes to finish a star. Hell if the tasks could be front-loaded like some of the old crafting events, i would already have enough points to complete the Tomcat.

It’s not the ‘zombers’ though, it’s those who play PvE to avoid being at risk…
This situation should’ve led to sim stopping having the events counted, because they can farm it, whilst everyone else is grinding.
Being at risk? … the zombers ask for PVE, then they suicide over airfields …
There are 10 times more zombers than people doing proper bombing.

Doubt it. People that call for PvE are avoiding encountering enemies at all, and thus are playing literal assault PvE in a sim lobby because no-one actually watches them.
So report them, as enforcing those lobbies is against ToS.
Had a blast today making PvEers rage in Sim. But making it so that Sim players cant do the event in Sim is super unfair. If any changes need to happen. Then its just to reduce score gains from attacking an Airfield. Force players to go for other PvE targets instead if they want to grind the event. (AF should remain a legitamate target in Sim because its nice to have a fallback target and still gain RP/SL in aircraft without good endurance like the Tornado)

They got reported, the guy I found doing it had thier 2 bot accounts banned, but they only got temp banned.
Now looking through their current replays again, they’re up to the same nonsense again.

Then thats just Gaijin not enforcing rules well enough. But punishing everyone else is not the answer .
Not really, because many of the players in these rooms have let them sit doing this for the entire time…
After all, when I raised the concerns about it, I had people checking my stats, making out I couldn’t see them because I didn’t play sim… Which was really stupid because it’s as if they didn’t have any idea about how replays worked, or that someone who is outside of the gamemode, can surely point out how things can, and are, being exploited.
Nothing is missing. With the rocket nerf, something changed in the bomb scoring.
A year ago I was getting around 1200 points in Buccaneer for destroying AF modules.
Now I’m getting a little over 500 points.
I did feel I was getting more per sortie in the Buc when doing the Mirage 2k Event. but Im getting around 700 score per sortie in the Buc S2, So im guessing OP is missing with a few bombs to only be getting 300 with 3 less bombs.
Though Im not actually complaining all that much about the score changes. PvP actions should reward equal to PvE actions and I feel they do currently.
After the rockets nerf in air battles I switched to rank IV props. There is more points for bases with some bombs, I also trying dogfight, cap zones or destroy ground and air AI targets.
Sometimes I get 45k points playing in 2 days sessions (I have full time job) but some day I can do it in about 3-4 hours.
Rank may be the reason for the lower number of points. Also the number of bombs you carrying, TNT equivalent or weight.
I know we are talking about mission points not RP, but I think there are similar multipliers in the game for mission points that you get depending on the bombs you use.
Just like RP multipliers:
It is possible. I wish there was far more transparency for these types of things. Activity time included in this as well.
I’ll try to ask some dataminers if they could help.

If you are trying to get the most mission score, you need to rocket the airfields and not the bases. Depending on the plane and the amount of rockets you can get anywhere between 700 to 2100 mission score per run. With the 3x multiplier and rank 7 to 8 plane adding 1.2 a 700 run run gives you 2,940 per run in an F4. The f-111 can hold more but cant go super sonic so its slower but carries twice the rockets.
You can easily complete the star challenge in one match in sim. I’m already done with the coupon.

I don’t know honestly I’ve just been having fun in sim and racking up score any way I can. I only do the braindead airbase bombing if the match gets lazy, but even then I try to avoid being shot down to make it harder on myself (and more fun).
