Why do I get less RP for some kills than others?

I had a very good match where I got 6 kills. I got 4 in the next one but noticed I got more RP for the 4 than for the 6 so I looked at the RP per kill and saw the message “Own target (the rest of the reward)” behind 5 of my 6 kills with much lower RP rewarded for them. What is that? I shot and killed all 6, no assists. I don’t understand how only 1 of the 6 got “Full reward”, giving me 5 times more RP, than the other 5. Can anyone please explain?

It’s to do with the severe damage mechanic.

Of all your kills, only the F-20A at 3:04 was an outright kill without you having inflicted severe damage beforehand. For the other targets, if you add the RP you gained for causing severe damage to the RP gained for killing them, you arrive at a similar total.

3

Severe damage counts for like ~80% of the kill rewards so you need to include that to the destroyed vehicles when you’re counting the rewards. It can also differ from vehicle to vehicle and if there is a BR difference between you and the destroyed target matters as well.

I understand thank you
