Which kills are not counted toward your score and why?

I am certain that all kills in ships gun or field gun are NOT counted toward score or rank.  I also think that kills of GVs when in fighter mode are also not counted (though I could be mistaken about that).  IIRC, when you select "fighter" mode at the beginning of a flight only AIR-to-AIR hits and kills count.  If you are in "Attack" mode all hits (GV, AIR, Building, structures) count toward points, score, and hit percentages.

As to the "Why?" ....  at the risk of sounding like a smartprettythang, because that is the why HTC chose to score the hits.  I guess in the grand scheme of things it is to encourage your to plan your sorties and follow your plan to be rewarded.  If you up in fighter-mode and shoot ground targets your score is affected (negatively).  You have to plan to be a fighter and do just that....  If you always up attack mode and never shoot ground targets, your score is equally affected. 

I also think you do not get points / kills for bombing airplanes in bomber mode.  In bomber mode your only points come from destroying ground targets -- again, I could be mistaken, but I think this is how the system is setup.

In fighter mode, no kills of ground vehicles are counted for score purposes (you still get the name in lights & perks)
In attack mode, all kills do count.
Kills in chute & manned guns have no influence on your score or rank.
In bombers, killed planes will appear on the web score page while GV kills will not - but it doesn't matter, as kills do not have any real influence on bomber score at all (no kill specific scoring category.

The stats page, of course, will show all kills, all the time.

Thanks Skuzzy et al, I think I must have been in fighter mode. Will make sure Im in attack mode for kills of GVs.
