Counting XP?

[HeavyCavalrySgt]

I finished a ground attack mission and got the following results:

 

Take off: 30 XP

Mission success: 60 XP

Landing: 30 XP

 

x100% for I don't know what - that seems to be the same regardless of coming home wounded or in an airplane with chunks missing

 

30+60+30=90*100%=68

 

Now, I know math is not my strong suit, but something seems a little wrong there.

This, and I had a bug this week : the count of my succesfull missions has been set from 24 to 13 on thursday (I know that this count has been set to zero after the release, but it was thursday)... Not very important, because it had no influence on the unlocking system, but a little bit frustrating...

[HeavyCavalrySgt]

Hmmm - I flew a intercept mission, knocking down a fighter and a bomber, and it seemed like I got extra points for the kills.  Is there a penalty for hitting ground targets, or a penalty for going on ground attack missions?

Was your plane criticaly damaged? And are the campaign results bugged? For the second question the answer is yes!

[DD_bongodriver]

So instead of threads going through maths concerning flight models we will now have maths concerning how many fictional and arbitrary points a landing or take off are worth.....go unlocks yay!

No, and I think so.

If we have to grind through the unlocks, it would be nice to at least get credit for doing it.

From my experience today, the XP gained is not being added for unlocks.

 

I flew three missions in a Me-109 G2.  XP in Profile for the G2 was 1296.  I received 60+120+144 in the 3 missions.  XP for the G2 at the end of the 3rd mission was still 1296.

 

I came back into the game and flew a Me-109 F4 mission.  Checked my XP in Profile for the F4 before, it was 1128.  I received 144 for the mission, XP after was 1128.

 

Can someone else verify this?

Getting the same.

 

So, what have we learned?

 

Not only is the unlock system utterly convoluted, but it can also be a serious issue when it doesn't function properly! All it's done is 1.) inconvenience the player 2.) add a level of complexity to the code that raises the odds of things going awry.

I've tried 3 times today to test this, but I've gotten the "stopped working" CTD after hitting Esc after each mission so I can't report any results so far, other than that something bad/wrong seems to be going on today fort some reason.  I have seen and reported several instances recently where the stats/results on the profile/planes page have been wrong and have changed to be even "wronger".

[kissklas]

Yes I am not getting any XP on the Pe-2 at the moment:-/

[MiG21bisFishbedL]

And here I am 1 sortie away from completing the He-111 H-6. Though, at least it's a widespread issue and not just me.

[TG-55Panthercules]

Yeah - I finally managed to tweak things and get past the CTD problem (for at least one mission), only to confirm that the 120 EXP I gained on the mission were not added to my totals on my profile page.  So yeah, it does seem to be a widespread problem today - lots of folks have been posting about it today.

Ditto.

 

In addition, the "results" page hasn't creditted me for quite a lot of kills. I'd assumed AI wingmen had stolen them as they went flaming down, but I've seen others report the same thing.

 

One other slight frustration is being docked half the XP points for an "emergency landing" after minor damage - a fuel leak, etc, when I've made perfectly good landings back at the home airfield. It would be lovely if the game could distinguish between "critical damage" and minor damage, and credit you accordingly.

 

But in general, I'm really enjoying the SP campaign. Every second or third mission, as the mission starts, with low cloud or snow, or the dawn light, etc, I sit there thinking, "Wow! Look at that!" Friendly flares from ground positions! Search lights! Weather! Trees that work! AI that's a beetch! All lovely stuff.

I submitted a ticket about the issue on campaign XP and stats not working today.

just incase no one else did.

Jason also wants to notify the team about it, as he posted in the other thread on the subject:

"Ceterum censeo Unlock esse delendam ...."

Quoting Cato here.

Just wantet to do a little sortie, bomb some targets and then test the gunpods for the Junkers.Pods are still locked. I can't test them .... damn unlocks are just numbing the experience of the game
