bomber kills/rank

[flatiron1]

No big deal but just wondering why bomber kills are not figured into ranking calculations. Looks like if they were figured in it would give incentive to fight instead of going for max altitude or bailing.

or bailing.

Bailing hurts your score.

Do you mean shooting down contacts with bomber gunners? Or just blowing some one up with a bomb?

[Pigslilspaz]

either

I believe air to ground kills are counted, air to air are not. though I take pride in shooting down a con, I think it's done for a reason. Something you seem to miss is that bombers are not fighters (exceptions apply for some players, lol). Players aren't being rewarded for flying bombers like fighters, but rather flying them like bombers, that includes high alt flying.

I was wondering the same thing

No kind of kill has any influence on score/rank at all.

Wait...if I fly a B-25, and kill a fighter...that doesn't affect my score?

Depends on the score category you have chosen.

We are talking about bomber score, not bomber planes

I admire these guys that can grab no 1 spot in all catagories day one and hold em for the entire month.  The score system still makes zero sense to me.

I canceled account mid-tour and ended up on the frontpage as #2 in attack

That's cuz you spent way too much time flying.

Okay, I wasn't sure, my point still stands.
