Does anyone know how many extra points we get for each plane shot down. I noticed I had a coop game where I shot down 40+ planes, damage inflicted was moderate, but I got a high score.

Like the OP; I've had CV battles where my total damage sucked wind; but I basically wiped out the enemy CVs airgroup, and wound up decently high on the score board.

46 [DONUT] IcyThor Members 476 posts 6,805 battles Report post #5 Posted October 18, 2017 I think the more we can shoot down it becomes exponential. I found out in coop when I am grinding that if I set up air supremacy I can get a good score. But in random AS gets me killed. Does WG keep scoring a secret?

I can concure... Threshold seems to be 10 planes gives you a decent boost in score, 15 even more so, 20+ it gets boosted by a large amount. Rightfully so... its rather hard these days using the air patrols :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
