So me putting 5x the time in AB than I would in SB actually results in the same reward. How is that fair?

You fly in cockpit, in full controls. with no markers, on a much larger map in AB?

I did the entire tank event in AB, rarely at BR 10, sometimes at tier 3-4/5, BR 5ish to 7ish when I felt like grinding modules, but the biggest part of it actually in AB tier 1 BR 1.3 when I wanted to go faster.
A multiplier is only as good as the base score you can get, and I get the best scores at tier 1.
I don’t like RB (or sim for that matter), I play almost only AB, going from this premise I have to find a way to consistently generate good scores, hence tier 1 event vehicles.
This matters how? If I need 5x the time to achieve the same reward, who cares how large the map is?

Difficulty maybe?
I wonder why the long hard and more complicated game mode rewards more very strange ain’t it
If AB and RB didnt have the issue of limited ground targets. Then you would be able to generate the same amount of score, with less effort in less time.
SBs ONLY advantage is that there is always a target to hit. You aren’t Competing against your team-mates far far less.
But the per action rewards are identical in RB and SB. You get the same score in for destroying a base in RB as you do in SB. But that base in much further away and takes more effort to fly there. (not too mention find it, they can blend in with no markers)
So if AB and RB had guranteed targets like SB does, you could do 2 or maybe even 3 matches in the same amount of time it would take me to do 1 sortie in SB. Thus needing 2 or 3 times the rewrad multiplier to make it fair.
They also need to just increase the score reward for A2A kills in all 3 gamemodes. its not the fault of SB players than PvE targets just generate the most score and SB is the only gamemode that is PvPvE.
I have already agreed that some specific actions need their score reduced. Like rockets vs AFs and the botters certainly need to be dealt with. But AB and RB are not equal to SB.
Action x Time x Difficulty = reward.
The actions reward the same in all 3 gamemodes. But SB has much higher time and difficulty meaning larger reward.
In all other respects, SB actually rewards far less than RB. The SL and RP gains suck currently. To put SB on parity to RB in terms of A2A kills for example. The rewards would need to be doubled, maybe even tripled.
Difficulwhat? Lmao. You guys are funny. According to what can be read here seems that the tactic to do the event fast in SB or RB is to bomb or rocket some bases, right?
Well, try to do that in arcade. Tell me how long you last before somebody shots you down and then tell me how many battle points you get if by some chance you manage to destroy a base before dying or losing the suicide run to another bomber of your team faster than yours. Hint: don’t even bother with rockets. Oh, and all that is if you are in a game with bases to bomb, of course, which only happens 50ish% of the time. Then apply multipliers. Then, we talk again about difficulty.

SB is designed to be PvPvE. AB and RB are stupidly designed to basically only be PvP and the PvP rewards dont equal what PvE stuff does.
But SB nor the players who prefer SB, should be punished for that fact. Instead they should increase the score reward for PvP in all 3 gamemodes and improve the PvE in AB and RB. (and even add a RB EC Gamemode)

Well, I agree with you on that. In any case, I’m not advocating for punishing SB players, nor is Sardinha08. We are just telling you guys that events in AB are unbearable for the average guy.
Here’s a picture of my last game this afternoon. Look at everybody’s scores after 14 minutes of gameplay…
Yeah, though that should be fixed by increasing AB and RB score rewards and not by reducing SBs.

Just… don’t play AB?

So for you it’s only fair when it’s your time, when other players have to spend several hours what you could be doing in 1, “that’s life”.

He we go again, It’s funny how when someone calls for events to be fair for all game modes you always assume that others are asking for “your” game modes to be punished. That’s self centered and selfish way of thinking, no surprise. I wouldn’t probably ask for a change in multipliers if I didn’t have the pseudo elitist players always bragging in this forum about how fast and easy they did the events, simply due to them.

What?
Have you actually ever played a single SB match?
According to your stat card, you havent.
Its not 1 hour. That is just a lie.
yes, I can generate quite a bit of score in a single sortie, with a large bomb load aircraft like the Buc S2 or Tornado Gr1 (though its the exact same as it would be in AB and RB if there was guaranteed targets)
But…
I have to fly there, on full controls and in cockpit, whilst evading the enemy team (with no markers, so sometimes also evading my own teammates) and the map is much larger, meaning that sortie takes physically longer.
I can choose to J out if I want to, but then Id have to pay the 20k to respawn again, so I always RTB. (though that is no different to RB)
So that right there, might be 15-20 minutes? Maybe More. Assuming I wasnt shot down by the enemy team.
I’d guess each token would take me, in SB, maybe 3 or 4 hours. Maybe more depending on what BR/aircraft I was using.
Some specific actions probably reward a little too much, im not denying that. There is certainly an issue with botters in SB and things like Kamikaze runs into the AF should not reward what they do currently. But the legitmate players. Those that dont exploit the flaws in SB. (that I very much want to be fixed) shouldnt be punished for that.
You want the event to take me 3x what it takes you in AB, because of a single youtube video you watched,
Well that is where the multipliers go, if they are unfair… You never saw me asking for SB rewards to be smaller.
Someone just took the time to check what is an average score for Ground Battles, the difference is 4% between AB and RB, yet the multiplier difference completely reverses this to a 40% difference towards RB, it’s probably no different in Air Battles(since we have yet to know the multipliers for the next event).
Without AB this game would have died years ago, and without it you wouldn’t have RB or SB.

And your source being? Last I checked more people are playing RB than AB.
Oh look. THAT is AF kamikaze ramming and should be fixed.
An exploit =/= the entire gamemode…
If we had modular AFs in AB and RB, everyone would do the same in those gamemodes too
