Aircraft kills in Bombers?

[flight17]

Been playing this game for 5 years now and this question was always on my mind. After last night, it was especially so... but are a/c kills while in the gunner positions of bombers count toward anything on your bomber score?

Last night i was running bombers to A39 in the LW in 17's. I was flying into a big dogfight and making A LOT of nits mad. Every sorty, i was taking down about 5-8 nits before running out of bullets and getting shot down before i could drop my bombs. Only one run of the 7 or 8 i did to that base did i even drop bombs. However, looking at my score today, i only dropped about 10 places in my bomber score from 33 to low 40's.

So are those kills in the damage score or something?

Why cant we have a kill column for aircraft while in bombers?

All of us bomber pilots would like to know. My bomber score is terrible and I get some kills in my B-38.

Kills in any gunner positions are scored as Field Gunner/Observer as it states when you land kills and not as kills in bombers. I asked Skuzzy the same question about 6 years ago and got this answer.

However, I'm not sure how it is scored if you are in bomber mode in let's say the A20 when you get kills with the forward fixed guns.

not true at all. Im not talking about when others are gunning for another player, but when the pilot himself is doing the gunning.  When i land my bombers, it says Flight17 landed 16000 in B17's and Flight17 landed 6 kills in B17's.

Uh, I wasn't talking about other players. Call HTC (1-817-251-1540) and get your answer instead of wanting to start an argument with someone who is tyring to give you an honest answer. Problem solved.

all i did was say what you typed is wrong, nor was i arguing... In my first post, i made it apparent that i was the one piloting the bombers. I cant help it if you misinterpreted what i said for someone who joined your bombers to gun since as you said, those are indeed landed as field gunners.

Ok, read my post again and tell me where I stated anything about anyone joining. And while you are at it, Call HTC (1-817-251-1540) and get your answer

because what you said, only applies when you join another plane or someone else joins yours. As i then pointed out, when you land kills in a bomber, it does not say landed in a field gun/observer, but instead states "flight17 landed 4 kills in a B-17" as was my case last night.

Not trying to argue or whatever. Just give Skuzzy or Pyro a call and they will be happy to give you the appropriate answer to any of your questions. I had the same question years ago and gave you the answer I was given by Roy. But, always go straight to the source for the best answer.

This is why he thought you were talking about joining a bomber as a gunner. THAT is what lists your kills as a gunner position. Otherwise it lists your kills in a BOMBER (whatever you were flying) when you land them. You also get perks when you gun for yourself, but not for when you gun for others.
