I'm trying to figure out the scoring for bombing runs. I'll have a run that I consider pretty good and I get marginal results..a couple fighter hangers down, ammo, a soft gun or two, and I end up with 1000-2000 pts. Then I might have what seems to be a marginal run and I end up with higher points. I generally land with my drones so thats not the reason. I see guys coming up with 10,000+ pt runs and wonder how the heck they pulled that off. Not sure I've ever pulled more than 5000-6000 pts. Thx

By bombing towns. Killing a bunch of town buildings gives you way more points than killing a single hangar with the same amount of bombs.
Oh and by the way: The points displayed at landing in the arena text are not points for score.
-
AND....... 1 bomber hanger is about 3000 damage points landed(shown ingame), and 14,500 damage points in score. So either he is lying or just WRONG.

Ive been pondering the same question and the only thing I can come up with is re-arming. Its the only explenation for some of the 30,000+ scores ive seen recently. :x

No rearming necessary. A B-17 formation with 6x1000 lbs can get you ~33K points displayed points at landing, with 12x500 lbs loadout you can get above 50k.

if you really want to "game" your score takeup a formation of ju88's (4 x 500kg) in Attack mode and bomb salvo 1 the centres of 4 virgin towns :x

What's wrong with rearming?

Damn...hehe, how many re-arms?

I actually flew over to the CITY complex, parked her overnight by this lovely little chateau, went to bed and started fresh the next day. All together I think it was 41 rearms & 17 flight hours.

naw i have killed several hangars and normally land about 2-3k points. that is in b26's with 4 1k bombs. sometimes i have totally destroyed the town with 500lbs bombs and will score 3-4k points other I will land over 10k. what the system announces is not really consistent with whatever you're bombing. as for the actual score recorded I couldnt tell you I dont keep track of it. it makes as much sense to me as the kd ratio in fighter mode.

Did you get #1 bomber?

Ah crap, you are right about the damage. But the damage points are steady for objects and does not change.

Nah, rainnman snuck back into the top spot last day of the tour with 2 goon captures. :frown:

Best and easiest way to get a good bomber score is with either the new mossy without drones or high alt 24's lanc's 17's ext. With the mossy climb high put the 4000pounder in the middle of town with the most buildings. Rearm if you want or just land it. You will get 6000 to 7000 pounds of damage. With the other bombers fly up high use bomb sight and put 1 bomb on each town. Same place as the Mossy. Middle were the most buildings are. I have landed over 45,000 in 24's by doing this. Fair warning though. People will up to try and kill you so either get practice with the guns or find someone who is good with them. And the flights can take over and hour and can be very dull. Base captures help as well

if we tell you the secret of bombing score's. we will have to send the lynchmob out to kill you.... :bolt:

Absolutely nothing, never said there was. :aok
I, personally, have never even considered rearming a bomber and I fly them quite often.
I promise I will now though. :banana: :cheers:

Very impressive Llogann. That clearly takes some dedication and time to accomplish.. Well Done :salute
I never thought of rearming a bomber before.. Considering it now.
-
just a point to consider,
once a guy made fun of me because he said i only landed 1 to 2 kills per sorty while he landed more. I reminded him that in the same amount of time that he landed 6 i had landed 12.
rearming is really for the people who play for score, nothing wrong with it, your 15 bucks and your fun. but for the most part, most people who rearm, just waste time and would prolly have a better score if they just landed and reupped a new plane.
me, I have never rearmed a plane, (ok to be honest perhaps once or twice), but I love vulching people sitting in the rearm pad. my personal best is 4 planes in one vulch :D. then again once i vulched a mission upping, runway full of red planes and the only one who died was me :rofl.

take lancs up - hit "virgin towns" with salvo 1 and you can rack in 70K damage easy. :x
-
Take it from experience, It is possible to land 80,000+ with 1 set of lancs with 14 1000lb bombs. One sortie, no re-arms. I have done it several times.

Hitech, you reading these? You said you wanted to see how people manipulate score and score pad. Here ya go! :devil

For me it was 7 on one pass. The mission upped as soon as i was streaking down the runway and i let the .50s open
