Background

Squadron Realistic Events (SRE) are only available during certain times of the day, making it a sought after mode to play among Squadrons. SRE is a great addition to the game in the sense that members of Squadrons can enjoy playing in a team comprised solely from mates in the Squadron, and thus strive to play on an elevated strategical level which simply is not possible in Random Battles.
However, due to the recent rework of events where events are much more frequent, players are not as incentivized to play Squadron Realistic Events as it yields no progress towards Mark of distinctions during events. As the most active players oftentimes seek to complete the Mark of Distinctions during events, and in order to do so, they might feel forced to prioritize playing random battles over Squadron Realistic Events.

The suggestion

Make it so that mission score obtained in Squadron Realistic Events counts towards the progress in Mark of Distinctions during events.
Furthemore, if possible; Mission score attained while flying during SRE will count towards Air related events, and mission score attained while playing Ground vehicles will count toward Ground related events

The modifier

Due to the fact that there is a maximum of 8 kills total to be had, in combination with the length of matches in SRE can vary greatly (2-25 minutes), the mission score/game length-ratio is indicatively low which warrants a moderately high modifier.

I suggest a reasonably high modifier, ranging anywhere between a x1.6 to a x2.0 modifier (See an example of the suggested changes highlighted as red in the picture below)

The Goal

This change will further incentivize players to actively participate in Squadron Realistic Events.

Even if it’s just the regular 1.33x multiplier it would still make the gamemode much attractive.

That would be extremely nice, but sadly Gaijin apparently doesn’t really want to do anything about promoting the mode. I don’t think they even have anyone in charge of SRE, it has just been running pretty much unchanged ever since its introduction.

I do concur with this
This would make it 10x easier to get squad mates to actually do SRB during events

100% would be a really nice QOL update for them to do this.
Considering all the other game modes give event RP squadron battles should also give event RP.
Perhaps the same as sim or even more since there are less kills to be had. :thinking:

+1. This neglected gamemode needs more love from the devs.
