OK, good example: last night I am in the MA and whirling around chasing this P-38. He was smoking and spinning towards the ground after I (and I assume some of my countrymen) had put several round into him. Anyway, I am following him down and putting a few more rounds into him for good measure and someone starts squawkin on vox to "leave him alone, he's dead" and harpin about their kill being stolen.
A few points:
1) I was in the mix with the P-38 from the moment he dove in on the field, but I did not complain when others tried to help bring him down.
2) I had just been shot down 15 minutes earlier by a supposed dead plane and had determined at that point to always make sure.
3) When the guy finally impacted, I got the kill anyway, so all the whining was stupid to start with.
4) As far as I could tell I was the first guy to land rounds on that P-38 and was the first to generate visible damage (smoke).
(For furture reference) If you think I intentially stole a kill, talk to me on a private channel first. If you don't like my attitude at that point, fine, blab all over open channel. Althought, blabbing in open probably just means your making excuses for your lack of success in air-to-air combat OR your are a points/rank monkey.
Anyway, that's the sort of thing I am talking about. I thought the point was for a country to work together to get the bad guys. I guess for some people, it isn't.
