Getting WP for damaging vehicles is the most unreliable method of WP gains right now. Sometimes, I can lay 5-6 forge shots into a tank and get nothing. Other times, I'll hit it twice and get 150WP. Other times, I'll hit a few times and only get 50 WP. They metric is horrible, still gives people no real reason to run AV since they have no clue if they are going to get anything for that shot or not.

Does seem inconsistent, but I never read the fine print on the damage wp. Might have to get them down to a certain percentage of hp or something.
One thing I noticed was sometimes you get more wp for accrued damage then for the actual kill. Which is kind of good because no one is yelling about stolen kills.
Not really into AV for the WP though. Just want to be a thorn in a vehicle user's side.

I think its based off of % of total HP depleted, not damage dealt. So if a vehicle is hardened, your shots are not depleting as much HP, and therefor are not depleting much of its total HP.
LAVs on the other hand are rarely hardened and have low HP, so you can hit them for a large % of their total every shot, hence the WP pinata. |

I think its based on a %. For example you get points granted for damaging a vehicle when its for example a LAV. In some scenarios ive got 150WP for shoting a armor based LAV (it survived the 1st shot).

I got 150 WP this morning for a single shot to an Incubus, which also survived, and barely touched it's armor. My next question being if you hit a vehicle in it's weak zone I wonder if you're rewarded more for it? Cause I did seem to pop it right in the thruster.

I'm pretty sure it's based on what the percentage of total HP the damage you dealt is. Like McBob said every shot on a LAV gets you +75 and if I'm correct then it's because the LAV's tend to have a low total HP. Tanks on the other hand have a higher total HP and if their hardener is active then the damage you deal is a lower percentage of that HP but each shot you take lowers the total HP thus making your shots a higher percentage each time.
Edit. Got beat to it twice, was trying to cook me some sauerkraut at the same time of typing this.

Yeah, if there's a stubborn ADS pilot you can easily top the scoreboard at the end of a match just from shooting at him the whole match. Did this yesterday and was sitting pretty at the top with 0 kills, 0 assists, 0 deaths; Didn't hack anything and didn't throw out any equipment but I had a little over 3k WP's just because that pilot couldn't take a hint.

Sauerkraut is the most under appreciated condiment. What? It's the whole damn meal. Well there's some hotdogs thrown in too but that's just for a contrast of flavors.

Using Anti-Armor starter fits is the easiest way to get to 1000 wp after you cap the weekly sp cap, IMO.

Yep. Did exactly this for a whole match. I was happy he didn't die and could escape. So many points.

You only get WP for armor damage. I am not sure what the numbers are. It seems strange you can get 150 or more points for damaging an LAV but only 40 for killing it. You can milk those points by killing a driver or finding an abandoned LAV and letting armor regenerate then blasting it. I think it eventually self destructs. To me that is something that should be fixed but not very important.
Because, that's why.

No... WP for dropship transporting is the most unreliable way to get WP. |
