I want to build up my bomber points and I wanted to know if there was a point list of targets? Like how many points for destroying a VH, building, Fuel dump... etc
-
Now THAT is an interesting question....
I've always wondered how the bomber points are assigned. Are all town buildings the same? Or are city strat buildings worth more than field "city" buildings?

They only steal undefended fields. They probably don't know squat about the system they're abusing :D
-
Same goes for the MW, only the numbers are usually even lower.

Bombing factories will yield you the most points, because the buildings are so close together, you can do more damage with 1 bomb as opposed to needing 3, 1000LB eggs to kill 1 hanger. The same goes for attack mode also. All the peeps that get into getting a high rank will up a Stuka with the big bomb, and drop it on the most packed set of buildings in a city or factory. Then, fly back to base, (don't bail out), and rearm and do it all over again. It's boring and very time consuming but if your leg is broken:rofl :rofl (VanScrew) hehe, you can be uber in no time.
Now, with all that being said, this is the very reason rank means nothing in this game. So go milk run if that's what you want to do. As for me, I'll be in the high 38 looking for you so I can improve my kill to death ratio :D <>

Good point, but with the points earned, I think comes perks earned.
So knowing what yields the most points can also yield the most perks. For those of us that mostly specialize in non-bombers, we might want to store up a few perk points for the Ar234 sortie (*hey, it's all we got til the B29 or the A26!*)
-
Back when they put the F4U-1A in the game and changed the cockpits in all the Hogs but the C, I heard that HTC was going to go to perk ord and gun packages. If that rumor is true, then we'll probably have to use bomber perks for that. As for the B29 added to the game, that would be too good to be true. But I'll keep my fingers crossed. :aok

P.S. I just love when Treize69 posts :D

Personally, I always aim for SHawks home. It is the litle red house behind the church in the town. First strafe the house so you can vulch him when he runs out. Then drop 2000lbs on the cherry tree in the back yard. Repeat as often as possible as his cherry tree seems to be growing back every 10 minutes or so.
:D

take a stuke with the 2K bomb and hit as many targets with the one drop as possible!:aok

They ARE introducing a perked weapons option, but NOT for normal weapons. Bombs on bombers will still be free.
The "perked ord" will be the 4x20mm gun package on the F4u1D, for example. The bit about charging for every bullet you fire and every bomb you take was a joke. Pyro or Skuzzy (whoever said it) has a sense of humor. :D

FWIW, I've noticed a consistently higher score when bombing the strat targets vs town or field bombing. Not really sure why.

Thanks for the tip

thats because strat targets are denser. Buildings are closer together so its easier to kill more than 1 or 2 buildings with 1 bomb. I did it once to see just what it took. First you have to find an enemy strat target that is near your base but yet far enough away from an ememy base so no one will be watching. (closer means less flying time) Then pick a bomber, I used the JU88, single, no drones (you can use drones but landing and rearming are out of the question).
Fly to the target, bomb, carefully selecting targets droping one bomb at a time and hit as many targets as possible with one bomb. Return, rearm, and launch again. Keep doing this until you get bored (2 trips for me). If someone catches you bail before they shoot you down. If they call you on milk running deny you where ever in the arena.. Avoid contact with anybody at any cost... and have fun :rolleyes:
-
Ju88 internal bombs cannot kill a strat building 1 at a time. You need to drop 2 at a time. The blast waves have to overlap to destroy 1 building. If you drop 1, then another, you still won't kill it, but 2 together will. I did some testing on this once when I was bored.
Anyways, the point wasn't just comparing town building vs strat building (although that does factor in). The point was, is a single town building, that takes 200lbs to kill, worth the same POINTS as a single hangar, which takes 2600lbs to kill? I doubt it.
What of hangars vs strat vs ord/ammo/porkables?
What will yield the most points per sortie?
I would still like to know for sure, because when I bomb a strat I don't get much points for it.

I didnt use the internal bomb load, just external stores...

For bombing besides surviving there's Damage % and hit %. So 1 nuka stuka rules the roost here if going for score but nailing the City and I think fuel factory yields the most points.
I did read in which order the factory were worth years ago but the city is a key player if I remember correctly. TOWNS pay more than any hangers or field strat.
Sinking Cv's reaps very good damage % but poor on hit% because bombs miss. Scorers will nuka stuka Cv's.
Important to select the right ords for the job for damage %. If ords to big the blast radius over lap equalling over kill for a target. To small and you need twice as many bombs.

Best advice I could give the original poster is to forget about points, AH will be much more fun if you forget about all the glory and accolades you will garner from a bunch of internet blowhards and neandertals who confuse internet game skills with real life skills and deeds.

thier putting cannons on the F4-D?? wooohooo!!
i feel sorry for thou..

Thread hijackers aside..... Strats and towns......take your Lancs to 25K, 14 by 1000lbers.....hit a few strats with a good spread (make sure they are full up) and you can log hundreds of thousands of points in a single mission.
Not perkies, points.
Some guys just like doing it. Sometimes, if I am busy, I will set auto climb, come back and bomb, then fly home. It's fun.

When the vehicle hangers were together on the VB's I used to fly Lancs out after chains of VB's. I'd fly to 23K and drop 3 1000's at a time on each VB hitting 5 VB's (or 4 and 1 strat) on a run. I could take out anywhere from 7 hangers on a bad run to 14 on a good run but 9-11 was typical. On a typical run I'd score ~450,000 points.
Since the hangers were split up at the VB's I've been flying AR234's to strat tagets. I drop 1 500K at a time. On a typical run I can fill the text buffer with destroyed buildings (20+) and score 180-250,000 (usually around 220,000) points.
So, I'd say hangers are worth more than strat buildings. I haven't noticed much difference between strats although that's not to say a difference doesn't exist.
BTW, flying formations in each case.

Wont agree with the bomb & bail doctrin. The question was how do you get the most bang for your buck, most bomb runs in late war are about 4-6 points, how ever shoot down a fighter or two points almost double so stay & fight it wont affect your points if you loose all three planes hit your target shoot down some fighters your points will improve with a fighting attitude not bailing. That is what I have found to work.

it seems to me that bomber points are asigned more or les by accuracy, and what's destroyed than anything else........so if you hit anything....say a city way in the back..not a very important target, but u hit it with good accuracy, you'll do well........
just a thought

It seems the amount of people logged on also may play a part in the score. I've noticed I earn more bomber points if my side is out-numbered by the enemy. I've used the same aircraft and bombed the same target at different times and noticed a differences in the scores. The only difference I could see was that on one flight we were out numbered (I fly Rook) and the other we out-numbered the bad guys.
So if perk points earned is any reflection of damage points then take JU-88s or a flight of Bostons and go to an arena where you are out-numbered.

I agree with you on this Talon... but I usually use the 2k eggs in the lancs with the 500lbers. All I drop is the 2k eggs and hit cities and strat targets. I did about three or four runs like this last month to hit fuel and troop factories and did one run on the HQ... Then I went TDY to ALaska for a month... I sat at 9th place in rank for bombers for almost the entire month... So, like you said, strats and towns @ 25k where no one wil bug you. :aok

What can I destroy that will yield the most points?
