Still trying to figure out scoring

[seasap 31]

I have two areas of questions about when I hit another tank.

First, the score is sometimes a few thousand points, but other times just a few hundred points.  Is it thousands of points because the other tank was more formidable, had a higher gear score, and the few hundred points on a different tank because that tank was a newbie?  Or are the points based on how much damage?  In other words, more points if I 90% killed him, and fewer points if I only scratched his paint?

Second, when I kill another tank, the score is orange or red, and it appears I get those points immediately.  But other times the score is white and the other tanks survives but is only damaged.  Is that because white scores is the portion I will get when someone else finishes the kill?  And how long is my assist score still earnable?  Does someone else have to finish him off within a certain amount of time?  What if the tank I hit uses repair kit or a teammate heals him?  Do I never get those white points?

The "scores" you are referring to are not experience points or battle score, but rather damage numbers which show how much damage you've done to an enemy tank with a given shot.

The colour of damage numbers indicates the type of damage that was done.

Colour	Damage Type	Target Destroyed?
White	Standard	No
Orange	Standard	Yes
Yellow	Critical	No
Red	Critical	Yes

Additionally, green numbers indicate the amount of health points that a teammate received from a healing source (Isida, various healing augments, drones, etc). Blue numbers indicate critical healing.
