Bomber Scoring

[busfo]

I'm trying to figure out the scoring for bombing runs. I'll have a run that I consider pretty good and I get marginal results..a couple fighter hangers down, ammo, a soft gun or two, and I end up with 1000-2000 pts. Then I might have what seems to be a marginal run and I end up with higher points. I generally land with my drones so thats not the reason. I see guys coming up with 10,000+ pt runs and wonder how the heck they pulled that off. Not sure I've ever pulled more than 5000-6000 pts. Thx

By bombing towns. Killing a bunch of town buildings gives you way more points than killing a single hangar with the same amount of bombs.


Oh and by the way: The points displayed at landing in the arena text are not points for score.

AND....... 1 bomber hanger is about 3000 damage points landed(shown ingame), and 14,500 damage points in score.  So either he is lying or just WRONG.

Ive been pondering the same question and the only thing I can come up with is re-arming. Its the only explenation for some of the 30,000+ scores ive seen recently.

No rearming necessary. A B-17 formation with 6x1000 lbs can get you ~33K points displayed points at landing, with 12x500 lbs loadout you can get above 50k.

if you really want to "game" your score takeup a formation of ju88's (4 x 500kg) in Attack mode and bomb salvo 1 the centres of 4 virgin towns

What's wrong with rearming?

I actually flew over to the CITY complex, parked her overnight by this lovely little chateau, went to bed and started fresh the next day.  All together I think it was 41 rearms & 17 flight hours.

naw i have killed several hangars and normally land about 2-3k points.  that is in b26's with 4 1k bombs.  sometimes i have totally destroyed the town with 500lbs bombs and will score 3-4k points other I will land over 10k.  what the system announces is not really consistent with whatever you're bombing.  as for the actual score recorded I couldnt tell you I dont keep track of it. it makes as much sense to me as the kd ratio in fighter mode.

Did you get #1 bomber?

Ah crap, you are right about the damage.  But the damage points are steady for objects and does not change.
