Expand You were never going to get the Antimech award for bombing bases, it's not what that award is for. The opposing player you "lost" the award to must have also destroyed ground targets in the middle of the map. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? Tell me something isn't wrong. I love blatant lies. Expand There is a sliding scale of points based on the players BR. My guess is that your opponent was in a lower BR bomber than you so he was awarded more points due to his lower BR. Unfortunately you have no control of this situation as it is totally controlled by the games Match Making. As others have already said, the Antimech reward is based on killing the most AI units in the game, up to 17 Past 18, you'd get Thunderer.

Expand I was referring to his part, which holds true whether it's event or regular game... : "For reference here are the rank bonuses to offset the hitpoint differential on base destruction. Multiply this by the number above to get your primary bomber's competitive advantage for score based events in air AB: Rank 1: x2.5 Rank 2: x2.1 Rank 3: x1.4 Rank 4: x 0.85 Rank 5: x0.7 Rank 6: x0.65 Rank 7: x0.6 So an Ar-2 is a rank 1 2.7, so it's advantage in a match of the same BR is 2.5*1=2.5, rising to 2.5*1.25=3.1 in a full uptier (assuming it reaches the base of course). Whereas a Pe-8 is a 4.3 rank 3, so its advantage is 1.4*1.25=1.75 at the same BR, rising to 2.1 in an uptier, about 35% less score for base bombing in AB, all other things being equal." If you want to purely make score through bombing bases, a tier 1 bomber will provide the relative best score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand OP only bombed bases and thought he'd get antimech (which is only awarded for up to 17 ground targets destroyed..) and then he wondered why he got less score than somebody who also only bombed bases, but roughly only a bit over a third of the explosives he dropped.... that's what that table explains... scores for bombing bases... that has nothing to do with events (and I cba to find it on the update notes, so I just linked that post) If you don't get it now I don't know what to do....
