Fighter Attack scoring

[Scca]

So learn to use it.

You do know this is the forum right?  There's no reason to be a jerk.  Clearly he knows how to use it, as do I.  If you want to be a sphincter, do it somewhere else.

I realized last night I never look at the hanger tab "Attack".

Since we have these tabs HTC could hopefully could make it so if you selected as an example, a P-38L from the Fighter tab, it would score Fighter.   If you selected the P-38L from the Attack list it would score as Attack.

Maybe too this would be that you could only get ords in the Attack list and if ords were down the Attack tab would be grayed out along with the bomber tab instead of the annoying set of pop ups.

Maybe too, the Fighter, Attack, Bomber and Vehicle tabs could become your favorites to be populated from the All list.

Your wish would make things more confusing. I would expect a plane to be configured the same no matter what filter I had chosen it from.

I.E. why would a person assume that if he picked a plane from all vs fighter vs attack vs favorite that its load out or scoring would change from the last time they flew it?

Right now it's a simple concept ,the plane stays as it is until you change it.

He may not realize he is pointing towards another outcome with the tabs.

Favorites could be subcategorized so that you have your favorite rides setup as fighter or attacker under sub tabs. Then under those tabs his P51D under fighter would be 6 guns, 75% fuel, while under attacker 6 guns, 75% fuel, 2-1000, 6-rockets. Then he is on the hook for his personal setups under each tab. Selecting from either tab would auto set the scoring state.

Or create two load out presets for aircraft that can be scored fighter or attacker. To which you setup your load out then direct that to a fighter or attacker bin with some way to edit it to make changes. Then when you click on that bin and hit launch your plane is auto set for it's scoring type.

Does score even matter anymore?

I see your point.  I would have thought though with the Tabs starting out empty as the Favorite does now it would be intuitively obvious.

When you configure your fighter as "attack" and bomb loads of stuff........earning perks..........

Are these fighter perks or bomber perks?

Could I earn fighter perks bombing vehicles and buildings?

I never thought about the scoring of perks on Attack runs.  I have always assumed it goes to fighter perks but do not know that.  Lusche will know.

Planes that have their primary category listed as "fighter" always earn fighter perks, no matter which mode was actually chosen.
Planes that have their primary category listed as "bomber" always earn bomber perks, regardless of mode chosen.
Planes that are "attack" only (Il-2 and Ju-87) are always scoring as fighter (note that they roll from the FH).

Thanks Lusche.
