But what if he can’t get the skill bonus?
Even if he can, it’s not something he can get every or every other match. For 4 matches where he died first he could’ve just dropped bombs before dying and there he gets 5k RP instead of 0, so now in 4 matches instead of having 0 he has 20k. If he gets max possible RP in on match out of 5, it will probably get him around what 25-35k RP?
If we’re talking consistency then base bombing is the way to go.
Then he will never get better at the game.
If his goal is to unlock a specific plane then he doesn’t have to. If he wants to enjoy a plane, then he will, eventually.
Considering hes said he base bombs in a eurofighter sorry but i have 0 faith
Even if you don’t get skill bonus, surviving for as long as possible remains the play.
Which you won’t get rushing a base. Rushing a base makes you part of a hungry F8x or mig23M’s lazy day.
Why?
Activity%.
Notice something in the data
Earning 800 score and surviving ~180 seconds gives 60% of our reward.
Earning 800 score and doing nothing else but staying alive for 400 seconds gives us 70% of our reward.
This activity% chart tracks with my observations and earlier advice:
Get 1200-1500 score, stay alive for 12-15 minutes to maximize reward for time played.
Getting 90% activity gives you 1.22x0.9=1.01 RP per second alive.
Getting just 70% activity like the OP did gives you 1.22x 0.7= 0.85 RP per second alive
You’re literally losing 20% RP by suiciding into a base.
Now, playing for SL - staying alive (and dying 15 minutes in) for a long time is detrimental due to repair cost scaling.
But he wont know how to play it…This isn’t a new strategy.
Players did this with the P-47M best high alt fighter in the game or one of and instead of climbing and using it correctly they bombed bases.
Never learning the aircraft or strengths. And complaining when a Dora or a 109 dived on them.
I’m 100% aware of the fact that staying longer gives better average RP.
However dying early into the game is much much more preferable than having no kills/only a few ground kills. I prefer the lower risk option.
Bombing is not risk free. Sometimes you accidentally drop the bombs, sometimes a teammate took it before you; in the case, I’ll just fight.
Bombing and fighting isn’t mutually exclusive.
All i see is skill issue
Bombing at the start of the match makes you the primary target of people stockgrinding their aircraft and looking for easy SL to play other game modes or get a new plane.
It negatively correlates with staying alive.
Fighting for position and survival at the start until the furball thins out keeps you alive for longer and then you can RTB, rearm with new missiles and with a bomb and dump it on a base
This is wrong. Too many people say I “refuse to learn” but that isn’t my nature or profession. I am a software developer, where constantly learning the latest thing is a must.
Next too many people miss the fact that I seek to equip the most missiles as possible. If all I am doing is to bomb bases, why would I need these??
Because you can, you bomb a base and then try to survive by multipathing and then just die from above.
Returning to base is highly dependent on whether your team won the first exchange or not. Good luck bombing a base or shooting ground targets when you have 3-5 fighters onto you.
Trust me I play the AMX A1A. Whether I can get the “spoils of war” is dependent on this.
skill issue, just learn when to shoot them
Something tells me you don’t fight with 70-90% efficiency
Where can I find these stats?
thanks for the tips. ill do the same.
OMG, that hurt my eyes
What are the little arrows?
I don’t remember them when I last used stat shark.
How much better/worse a stat is compared to average? What percentile it is?
I am not sure.
