how come when i have done more than 1st place player he still has more mission score than me?
BR of vehicle matters, you get more score for kills if the enemy is a higher BR than you. so he might have played a lower BR vehicle.
Edit:
yeah, i just checked, the Wyvern is 4.3 and the B-25J-30 is 4.0

You can get points for hits/ damage taken, even with out an assist

Also, in AirRB, “Light” ground targets (e.g. vehicles, AA, armored cars, howitzers) give less SL/RP than “hard” ground targets (e.g. medium/heavy tanks, pillboxes), so there may be different score with them too. (i.e. more score for hard targets)
Edit: was meant to be a general thread reply but I guess I click on reply to Wishie without realising.
Ground targets dont have a fixed score. Some ground targets give more score than others, like light pillboxes, or full damagemodel targets give more than artillery and AAA.

Even the gunners in his turrets can score, watch replay and post link to, it would be interesting to know, he may of damaged AI AAAat a base
As explained by fellow players above: Impossible to answer without replay link.
Regarding score in general - I quote myself from another thread:
In other words - even such small things like the small bomb bonus have an impact on mission score…so if the B-25 has used smaller bombs or finished already damaged bases, it is no prob to get a higher score - besides the already mentioned circumstances like different quality/score of ground kills and, ofc, ai planes…
I’m still wondering how bombing points are calculated. At low ranks (piston engines) I get more points for larger bombs. Sometimes I even get more points for destroying a base with napalm than for destroying a base with a conventional bomb. On the other hand, at higher ranks (jets), the smaller the bombs, the more points they give for destroying the base.
Mate - i have zero clue. :-)
I play just for fun and stick to planes which are easy to fly with a generic joystick profile - bombing and especially base bombing is extremely complex and depends on a hell of factors - you might want to read this post:
Hmh … My example above proved the exact opposite. I dropped 600 kg on a base and got more points than the fellow Pe8 player with a Fab 5.000…
Arbitrary and capricious Snail mathematics…
Maybe it depends on BR, maybe a specific plane or something else. You can even get different score using exactly the same bombs in 2 different jet bombers. For example Tu-14T and Ił-28.
Using 100kg bombs in A-20G-30 i get 405 points, using 1000 kg bombs I get 465 points.
ok thanks everyone
I have found that multiple bombs of the same combined weight do more damage than 1 big 1 when ut comes to base bombing
Put your mouse over the score to see a breakdown of what a player did to get that score.
I’m doing a research, I get different results in different battles.
Germany almost done (it’s really hard to do because there is many faster props than my bomber), next I’ll do USSR.
