Does mark of distinction "eat" XP?

[Sanakan]

Just had a great game in my BE-6, made 40k research points. Of which... 16,6k goes into my Mark of Distinction.

If I had the mark of distinction completely unlocked, would the entire 40k I earned be going to my next aircraft?

It would just be wasted entirely if it wasn't going towards a mark of distinction or getting an experted vehicle aced.

Nope.

If you've got nothing to research (modifications wise), the research exp disappears completely.

Its effectively pointless without a modification to research.

Only vehicle research counts towards vehicles.

Damn that sucks. Both of the icons were blue, so I thought that the mark of distinction was stealing away RP until it was unlocked.

Thanks for clearing it up!

RP don't go towards either one thing or another, they concurrently give you module research, vehicle research and crew points.

The only way RP won't really benefit for anything is if you researched every vehicle and play a spaded vehicle with ace crew on a slot that's already maxed for planes, tanks and ships.
