  • Mission points reward mechanics for capturing zones has been changed. The reward is now split between the players depending on their contribution. For every extra player who is capturing the zone more points are added to the pool. Each capturing player can not receive more than base amount of points (300 for ground and air battles, 150 for naval) and less than minimum (100 for ground and air battles, 60 for naval). If a player’s vehicle (the one he used to capture a zone) is destroyed, his reward points are  removed from the pool and won’t go to other players.
    • Example 1:  In ground battle 3 players are capturing a zone simultaneously. The point pool will be 300+100+100 (base 300 plus 200 for two extra players), each player will receive 500/3 = 167 points.
    • Example 2: In ground battle a player almost captured a zone, when two more players arrived. The pool will be 300+100+100 and players will receive 300, 100 and 100 respectively (first one will receive maximum points, the rest - minimum).
    • Example 3: In ground battle 3 players are capturing a zone simultaneously and one of them is destroyed in the very end. The pool will be 300+100+100 and the destroyed player receives nothing, while the rest get 500/3 = 167 points.
    • Example 4: In naval battle 2 players were capturing a zone simultaneously and one of them was destroyed in the very end. The pool will be 175+60, the surviving player receives 118 points, the second one gets nothing since his vessel was destroyed.
