I believe ht mentioned before that his idea was you will only get awarded for successfully completing the mission.

In a reply to some questions in an old thread he replied that for instance if your mission is to escort bombers then you wont get any award if your bombers dont make to target.

For the bomber pilot he must hit his target and rtb.

If you are assigned to defend a target from being bombed then you must do that and rtb.

I cant imagine getting points for just staying alive if you fail in your mission. Then why fight at all.........

How and if he plans on scoring partial success I dont know. But you could have it where the attacker must destroy XXX% of his target and rtb. So if 18 bombers go to bomb a strat object those that survive and as long as say 75% target is killed you get full points for the mission. Under 75% you get 1/2 points under 50% you get nothing. Same with attacking those bombers if you kill 75% and a few drop then you get full points etc.

But HT may consider adding a multiplier for the number of kills you get.

Until we see the details theres nothing we can really get from his post.

Maybe HT can open a question/answer forum just regarding the new MT. As long as it doesnt take up to much of his time.

Right, that's understood. The thing that worries me isn't offering rewards for mission success, but rather not offering penalties for total mission failure (or the loss of wingmen). In other words, in a system where you lose 100 points for dying, nothing if you fail a mission, and gain 10 points for successfully completing a mission, the incentive exists to cut and run rather than sticking out a tough mission. Why lose 100 points, after all, when you could just lose nothing?

Example: You're in a group of P-51s tasked to protect B-17s from enemy fighters. Along come a bunch of 190s. Uh oh! They're higher! There are more of them! Time to bug out and wait for a better mission opportunity later... better to lose nothing than to lose 100 points, after all. In the meantime, the other P-51s are slaughtered (they all lose 100 points) and the buffs are all slaughtered (they all lose 100 points). At the end of the day, they can't do much about your tactics because, hey, you're gonna outrank them at this rate.

oh ok gotcha yeah that most definately would happen. I can almost name names

How would you penalize death?

Obviously the best way would make the penalty for mission failure such that it encourages you to fight. But unless that penalty is equal to a death then you will have those guys playing the percentages.

Can you imagine you are in a b17 with 51 escorts and run into a higher and larger number of enemy. From your tail position you see the 51s flying in oppossite direction.......lol

Dunno know what ht has planned.........
