I don't bother with score, its meaningless unless you're having fun. Some years ago in WB I was at the top of the bomber rankings after 2 1/2 weeks of the TOD, the only close competition was a guy from a Brazilian squad. He came from nowhere and caught up with my score, I wondered how the hell he did it and I started to play more, even started to make myself play just to keep on top but he passed my score easily it seemed scoring much more points per sortie than I could manange, night after night I wondered how he did it and tried to find missions to get better scores but could not. I then found out how he was doing it...a cheat! exploiting a bug that gave massive score each time (any of you WB vets remember the bomb the HQ {HQ was neutral in WB and not a target} for massive points bug?) I stopped playing for a while, burnt myself out a little and watched as this cheat ranked No.1 bomber for the next few months, he even bragged about it in the forums.
I'm not saying there are cheats here but it is easy to setup milk runs if you're bombing, hitting targets away from the action that do not help your country at all or they can be the same guys that might not dive into a furball to clear your six incase it ruins their score. If you fly fighters fly fighters, fly bombers? then fly bombers, don't make yourself fly something you don't want to just to give your squad an all-round top score. Play..have fun..enjoy AH
