Small question: what's the difference between "Landing Bonus" and "Pilot Survival Bonus"?

For example, If I bork the landing and die, but manage to place all the wreckage on the tarmac, do I still get the "Landing Bonus"?   

[Devil 505]

I think the difference comes into play if your pilot is killed while rearming by bailed enemy with his .45. That way, you only get the "landing bonus" because the plane is not damaged - bullet hole in the canopy and blood stained IP not withstanding. 

[Squire]

A pilot who bails out and/or captured is not dead. If you die (crash or killed) you will not get a pilot survival bonus. It's a small incentive to care about your virtual pilots life. Better a POW than a wooden cross.

The landing bonus is simply bringing your bird home.

Land ok at home base? 3 pts for your side. 2 for the plane and 1 for the crew.

Thanks!

Intelligence has reported bailed out air crew with horrific injuries. This cannot stand. There shall be no mercy.

bonus pts if you can shoot the little man before he can open his chute

Please take a look at the fuel and the alt cap.  The entire squad ran out of fuel about 100+ miles from only friendly field.  Never been a fan of artificial alt caps for bombers.  Thank you for your consideration.

Come on Way. You could have taken 5 hours worth of gas if you wanted to. Assuming you were in the B-17's, of course.

We were limited to full internal and no droppers.  Not enuff fuel.

Ok, so you were in jugs. That sucks about the lack of DT's - makes no sense given the distance needed, I agree. Not sure what that has to do with the 17's having an alt cap though.

Alt caps are bombers on a platter.

Lilma and I glided 2-3 sections with engines off and made it.  It's about %100 fuel management

Lol, you non jug people will never master the jug until you put a lot of time in them to appreciate them.

The idea of no DT is because that is about accurate on real mission for them.
