Scoring:

Will be points based, with an even split between Air-to-Ground (A2G) points and Air-to-Air (A2A) points. Each object at an assigned target (that can be destroyed) will have an assigned point value. The attacker will score points for each object destroyed, and the defender will score points for each object that is not destroyed at that target.The point value of each pilot will be determined  by the total A2G potential points divided by the number of pilots who actually fly in the frame.
 

Aircraft Scoring:

You will score Air-to-Air (A2A) points in the following two ways.
  1. Each enemy aircraft shot down
  2. Each successful landing in an aircraft prior to the end of frame ( landing as a gunner will not count )

Players will earn points for objects destroyed on the ships even if they are not sunk.
