Title: bomber kills kills in a bomber
Post by: lunaticfringe on January 07, 2022, 01:00:14 PM
IF you shoot down a fighter with your lanc-B24's B17's-shoot down with machines in bomber mode-where does the kills show up?
my friend has shot down some fighters with his bomber guns but show no kills. and when do the kills show up on which ever list?

Scoring system is set up for killing ground vehicles from bombers.  Air to air when shooting from cockpit view in a pilot controlled gun.  Only two ways to get bomber kills.

On your pilot stats: https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/scores/players.php

What are you referring to? If you are in bomber scoring mode, no kills whatsoever count towards your score (don't let the fact that "kills" appear in the statistics section of you score sheet confuse you), but all kills (planes & vehicles alike) show up on your pilot stats page.

This always bugged me.  Those kills should count toward score IMO.

in attack mode you can score perks for kills using the gun manned by pilot. haven't done it in a couple of years.

any other kills done by gunner position don't count.

I would very much like to test that when I see you online next time. You can shoot down my fighter from gunner position in a 'bomber' in attack mode, and we'll see what happens to perks. I'm very curious, never experienced such a thing.

However, even if that's a thing, it doesn't read to me anything like AKKuya said, so I also wish he would clarify his statement ("Only two ways to get bomber kills.") for me.

not gunner position but the pilot aimed gun in attack mode.

Now I’m really confused. You gonna say you don't get perks and/or score when you shoot down an enemy in a pilot controlled fixed gun on a 'bomber' when in attack scoring mode?

point - the 24, 17 and Lancs (as listed by the OP) cannot be flown in Attack

It is really annoying kills from the guns in bomber formations don't mean anything.

Almost as annoying as manned field ack not counting kills or deaths towards anything.

Not for score, but at least you get the perks.
