Strike Scoring..

[Tudorp15]

It really hasn't been an issue with the teams, and people I play with. At least I don't think it has... It is more of a personal thing. I am a huge team player, and like it that way. But, I also like to see my own personal stats to see where I need improvement.

But, like you, I tend to switch targets during a single run, spreading my fire out among several targets at once. I target one site, drop a couple bombs, as I pass it, switch to the next target, drop a couple bombs, and so on until I clear the area, then make my turn for a 2nd run. Assuming I make the turn for the second run, and sometimes I do, I will do the same. Sometimes this tactic, however is pretty damn effective for the overall turnout like you mentioned. But, if you make a couple runs using this technique and then get shot down, by the time you return with another load, someone has dropped in, dropped a couple bombs and scored huge for the kills. They look like a hero, even though they might not be all that skillfull. Their stats climb and yours does nothing, even though you may have contributed 90% of that score. Again, I don't have a huge ego as it is concerned with the others, but, it is more a personal acheivement thing with me, and I would like to see what I have contributed, so I can work on my own tactics and improvements. This is all I am saying when it comes to the strike scoring.. It should be fixed IMHO..

I wouldn't mind if that score was dropped all together---plane kills as well as targets taken out. Not like it makes much difference. All that matters is the ticket count and a win or loss for the team. Posting individual stats like that takes away from it being a "team" effort and it doesn't change the tickets.
In fact, if I'm bombing the way I like to, I probably won't show any bunkers taken out until the end of the round. I don't like to reduce the number of targets right away, better to spread it out since you don't get extra points for destroying the bunker. By that time, a fighter with small bombs could probably take out the bunkers I've been steadily working over but left standing.
