Title: Give Points for Hauling Cargo
Post by: MachNix on October 07, 2004, 11:05:46 AM
Using a C47 to re-supply a damaged field does not award any points, which hurts the Damage/Sorties score.  Perks are awarded but how about giving an average amount of points (like 1000) too?

Yea it does.
Least it does for me or did the last time I did it anyway

the amount of points you get though go down as the damage to the airfeild is reduced

Once again, you get perks based on the amount of field damage at the time of the re-supply but you do NOT get any bomber points.

DREDIOCK,
Next time you happen to run supplies in a C47, use the ".score YourGameID" and compare your Damage/Sortie and total Bomber Points before and after your run.  Then let us know.

I could be wrong, but last I knew, score/points are not updated in real time ... you have to wait till the next day when HTC runs a batch update to see what transpired the day/night before.

Perks/Points updated in real-time.
Ranks updated once per day.

ahh my bad.
thought you were referring to perks which I often get mixed up with points.
Like in Kill assists.
You get points but not perks.
Although for assists I think you should get something in the way of perks also. Not that I use perks all that often I dont.
But too often someone destroys several planes per flight sometimes significantly helping thri side or fellow pilots and at the end of the mission see nothing as a reward. For a job well done.

I know Ive sometimes gotten a kill on someone I felt someonne else deserved the credit for. Usually when I see this I thank them over Vox for the assist but I often think they deserve more then that.
Even a single perk per assist would be about right.
They deserve at least something.
I just dont think points alone go far enough.

Just my opinion

actually, not quite true.  The scores page updates in real time as well, BUT actually changes in rank position are only done 10am Central time each day.  I.E. if you capture a field, it WILL show up on the score page immediately, but you rank won't adjust until the following day 10am cent.

My bad.  I thought 10am in Central Time only happened once per day like it does in the Pacific Time Zone.  Thanks for clearing that up. :aok

HiTech, feel free to jump in at anytime.
