 honestly i think we might see more a practice of people bombing undefended bases far away from any fighting just to see "Your Name In Lights"  damage should go from  *&^% Landed 1,927,999,000 points  to something like   &&^% landed with 2 Hangers 4 AA guns destroyed or 12 buildings destroyed , or just make it to where you see your score (Fighters and Bombers, GV,s) when your in the tower after landing NOT on the text bar, seems real cluttered now

How about it saying:   "So and So dropped  4,100 lbs. on target"  -   only showing accurate ordinance delivery?


I landed two in the B5N last night to no arena message.   :(    Kills landed should be kills landed.

IMO the version update announcement should have came with an explanation of how it works, i.e. why the need for the crazy point amounts. :headscratch:  Surely, a more realist number for this stuff makes sense to even us dummies.

Eventually a standard will be set in everyone's mind for an uber run,  good run, average run, weak run, etc. as ppl become more familiar with the numbers. It has already started in this very thread with Stodd bragging about his 20 million points compared to the others that posted numbers.

Having said that, it would be better to have it match the scoring but still, it is just a comparison of numbers that become familiar only because of how they relate to each other and the intrinsic change will only be in the magnitude of the number. .02 from a rare bomber pilot.

P.S.  Stodd, you go girl!  LOL.  :smile
:lol Yes I consider it one of my finest accomplishments. <G>
