RP and winning/losing - a question.

Originally posted by 256_Swerve: I asked this question in a prior thread, but gained no answers.

I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, I just want to know how the mechanics of RP gains function wrt win/loss. I was under the impression that there was a difference but I can't see it in the after action reports. I'm quoting my original question below:

From our wiki (https://wiki.warthunder.com/economy) :

Research Points (RP)
Like Silver Lions, RP is also earned in battles, and depends on the game mode being played, your performance and activity in the battle, and whether the battle was a victory or a defeat.

Like Silver Lions, RP earnings from battles are affected by a number of multipliers, including vehicle multipliers, premium account (giving a 100% bonus on all earnings), and RP boosters. Purchasing a “talisman” for a vehicle also gives a 100% bonus to any RP (but not SL) earned using that vehicle.

Skill Bonus
RP earnings have the opportunity for an extra multiplier, known as the “Skill Bonus”, which is awarded upon reaching certain thresholds of enemy players destroyed in the battle, or certain damage to naval targets in naval battles.

Air AB: 3–5 opponents: +15%; 6–9 opponents: +40%; 10+ opponents: +100%.
Air RB: 2 opponents: +35%; 3 opponents: +75%; 4+ opponents: +100%.
Ground AB/RB: 3–5 opponents: +15%; 6–8 opponents: +50%; 9+ opponents: +100%.
Ground SB: 3–4 opponents: +20%; 5–7 opponents: +50%; 8+ opponents: +100%.
Naval AB/RB: 6,500–9,999 damage: +20%; 10,000–14,999 damage: +45%; 15,000+ damage: +100%.

TL;DR - you gain more for a win and less for a lost battle.
