Somewhat frustrating

Now that I think about it. I think that we have different definitions of “base xp”. I believe that you are referring to the amount given at the top of the screen that is then modified, while I am referring to amount shown on the scoreboard. Please correct me if I am wrong. I think that planes and tanks get bit less for kills.

Dude…5567 was your score on the leaderboard….base XP is not related to that in any way.
I’m beginning to think that a significant percentage of the active members of this forum don’t understand the difference between the leaderboard score and what really matters…which is BASE XP earned.

Could you explain the difference as to how they are calculated?

…processing…

Could it be that bots are ACTUALLY coded with some kind of “adaptive skill”, so they become increasingly or decreasingly effective during a match depending on other players’ performances?

Like, the more a player gets wiped out with little to no kills, the more his bots will try to compensate by getting smarter, and vice versa?

DISCLAIMER - this is pure speculation with no supportive evidence whatsoever.

Sure….the “Score” on the leaderboard, which it seems the majority here are focused on, only determines which player receives the “First place in the team” battle hero award.
BASE XP is the “Root” value that the games’s formula uses to calculate your campaign XP earned for the match. Leaderboard score in NOT directly tied to BASE XP earned….leaderboard score is for bragging rights only.
Every time you complete a match, you might want to get in the habit of reviewing the “Battle Report” which is found by scrolling up above the leaderboard.
The “experience base” for each squad and each squad member can be reviewed there. As well as number of activities that add to “experience base” . the experience base earned for kills defending or attacking as well as pretty much everything else such as fortifications used by your team are increased
if performed at the objective.
Then the formula to calculate your campaign xp is displayed as
xxxx (base XP) plus xp boosters that might be applied for that match plus +100% base xp if a premium account plus +100% for the base xp earned by premium squads TIMES multipliers such as 1.5 for a victory plus multiplies for battle hero awards, such as 1st in the team (always a multiplier) and multiple battle hero awards that range from 1.2 - 1.5…
SO….if BASE XP is 5000 for a F2P account and you suffer a defeat with no battle hero bonus awards it would be….5000 total campaign XP earned.
If you are F2P but win but had no other battle hero awards…5000 x 1.5 = 7,500 campaign XP earned.
If F2P and win AND 1st on team but no other battle hero awards… 5000 x 1.5 x 1.4 = 10,500 campaign XP earned.
If F2P and win, 1st on team and multiple other battle hero awards…5000 x 1.5 x 1.5 = 11,250 campaign XP earned.

If a premium time player a loss and no battle hero awards…5000 + 5000 = 10,000 campaign XP earned
Premium plus a win but no battle hero awards…5000 + 5000 x 1.5 = 15,000 campaign XP earned.
Premium plus win plus 1st on team… 5000 + 5000 x 1.5 x 1.4 = 21,000 campaign earned.
And so on…if you are lucky enough and roll a +300% xp booster with daily rewards, have premium account, use only premium squads (a tank camping in the grey zone until you run out of ammo) win, get 1st on team and multiple other battle hero awards…
5,000 + 15,000 + 20,000 + 20,000 x 1.5 x 1.5 = 135,000 campaign XP earned. and so on.
I did this off the top of my head, but I believe my simple addition is correct.

Bots typically will attack an objective whereas really bad players will typically just camp a building and not leave. So bots will get decent kills but with a high amount of deaths IE 15-13 where bad players will have low kills and low deaths since they are hiding and away from the action so they are harder to squad wipe them IE 8-4 or 5-4

Sad but true

I really do appreciate the time you took to reply to my question. I will look at this in more depth and report back. I played a match while you were replying to me and got stomped by the Soviets in Berlin.

Looking at this result I think that the xp unlocks for squads and the xp unlock for individual soldier tiers effects base xp. So using lower tier soldiers with all xp boosts unlocked will give greater xp for the squad. I will do more testing. But not tonight. Btw you got a sick avatar :slight_smile: .

No worries. If you take a minute after each match……ignore the leaderboard score…and digest each squads and each member of each squads “experience base” and how it’s calculated (the total xp earned by the squad is petty much evenly divided among squad members)…you should be able to modify squad members and play style to gain max “BASE XP”….ignore the leaderboard, it is there to attract players attention and distract from what really helps to progress the quickest.

Thanks for proving me wrong. Now I can be more correct as to how I understand the game. That is why I appreciated you skepticism. There is often something to learn from another person.

Too bad it isn’t explained more clearly in the game.
But I guess it’s in the Devs benefit to have player chase top position on the leaderboard

Those upgrades dont affect campaing exp. Only for squads/soldiers

I tested it earlier and 1lvl squad with sniper that dindt have any personal upgrades got same xp as high level squad

This is true, but lets not discourage him from exploring.
Baby steps

Having just got done with 5 games of Allies steamrolling Axis finally won one and was carried by it’s tanks. Who… only one by parking their tanks inside the building of the final point. I have no fucking clue what’s going on with Axis in Tunisia but the they’ve just been giving up so easily.

Scoreboard for reference.

If you are trying to point out that Axis is bad in Tunisia……why post a leaderboard of the Allies losing?
Kind of smells like a brag that you were at the top of the losing team to me.

firstly there’s no need to be hostile,

secondly I’m highlighting a rare occurence: the Axis playing the objective in Tunisia because this is what that looks like.

Seriously? What other reason would you post that screenshot?
If you posted one of Axis sucking badly, it might better match your opinion

Axis mad.

I made this just you bro

Looking at custom battles you might not be too far off.

I noticed in one that after I fortified the front of the point on defense and slaughtered the first few waves, the bots started coming from that direction a lot less.

There was also 1 or 2 designated “smart bot squads” (not players, I checked) that were running around with (Tunisia) Thompsons doing wide flanks on occasion.

Also while in the recent past, bots didn’t know how to play destruction, they’ve since learned how to plant and defuse bombs, and can be challenging just by how willing they are to suicide rush the radio stacks.

That “Info” is not allowed on Forum as it could lead to name and shame. It is fine as it is with his censor
