When I have a kill stolen it's usually some tard jumping in front of me. I don't often have it picked off as spiraling wreckage.

What happens a lot to me is getting a good shot on a bird that seemingly hasn't taken ANY damage, saw off a wing or nail his cockpit, and STILL just get the assist for it (I've lost kills on a LOT of Spits that way, seeing as one well-placed burst of .50 cal can clip their wings).

I really think it should go more on the TYPE of damage inflicted. Blowing out an engine, knocking off the wing or tail, or cockpit hits should be weighed more than just filling a guy with as many bullets as you can.

Well with the jumping in front part I hate when i set up for a high quarter snapshot after dueling with a guy for like 5min and i shoot but a friendly newb comes in on his 6 spraying and missing and i hit him in the face and i die then i see him land with 2 kills like a min later.

it still would be bad say you knock the tail off some guy he is floating down to the ground then some guy from the stratosphere comes in an LA-7 or P-51 and knocks off everyhting and blows it to kingdom come then your guna get this

    Other people are just that desparate for kills so they can get a round of WTGs and their name in lights.

    While it's an amusing game we play within our squad, it does suck mightily when it happens the rest of the time. I'm lucky to get 1 kill a night, and losing that rare trophy to uber133tb34r or some other clown isn't exactly my favorite thing.



all your killz, are belong 2 me !!!

2 things to say..
First a killstealing story to end all killstealing stories.

In MA, a 1-in-a-million chance encounter at 12k, me in a 109 and Chanzz in his YAK (didn't know it was him until later).  A co-alt, cold merge, no HO shots fired!  wow.. says I. this is rare.

We tangle for at least 10 mins or so (seemed like 10 hrs), up, down, and 'round n' round.  Stalling out nose up, canopy to canopy, my 109 drops a wing, and slowly falls in front of his guns.  BAM!  He shoots my elevators off, and I drift downward in a 10k tail-slide, facing straight up..  One of the best 1v1 fights I'd had in a long time.

Enroute to terra-firma, I see tracers whizing by, and stinging me..  A P38 twisting & turning and trying to get a bead on my falling hulk..

Finally the guy loops up over the top, and comes straight down at me, face-to-face!  Okee dokee..   I peg the trigger and light the SOB up with 30mm!  BOOM!  He disappears in a ball of fire..

I then get a PM from this "person" like this:

200: NICE HO RV6! YOU FRIGGN DWEEB!

You gota' be kidding me.  True story.

And lastly, on the topic of Kill Stealing?  A graphic that I borrowed from DokGoNzO..

:rofl RV6, i remember you posting this story before. Its still hilarious.


What i do is most times when im mortally wounded, i bail out immediatly. This avoides others stealing the kill and im back to tower faster.

Just trying to make ya feel better about it ...  :D


Thanks, it doesnt help though...



100 rounds was enough, i was the only guy in the sector for a few minutes, good fight with zeke, finished with me latched on his 6 at 100yrds, hence the 303s killing. The guy who stole the kill was almost out of icon range as the tail came off, and he nose dived from way up hgh to spray the zeke on its 2000ft plunge.



what takes the biscuit is he was in an SBD :)

Oh, the one that REALLY bugs me is when I've locked on a bandit that seems totally oblivious--say fixated on another target or something--I'm closing in from the 6-low blind spot and JUST as I pull into convergence range and am about to pull the trigger some tard comes zipping in guns blazing from 1000 yards, MISSES, and forces the target to break, spoiling the shot. A perfect bounce completely blown by some impatient spray-and-pray dweeb.

But Schatzi! You'll never make a lame death-spiral kill by spraying the skies with lead as your plane falls tailless to the ground that way!

What pisses me off is when SUPERACE125123 swoops in from 15k to spray the hell out of a flaming wreck with his typhie so he can get his name in lights. That's when I wish killshooter wasn't on.


BTW, you need to fly more. I'm losing my rudder axis, and getting legitimate kills is becoming increasingly difficult. I could certainly use you. ;)

:lol

Have you ever tried getting a kill that way with 303s? Whats best convergence settingd for getting those? ;) :D


Kaw1000: IMHO no prob shooting a burning Zeke thats still trying to kill others. How a WINGLESS plane on the other hand poses a threat to anyone is beyond me.

I'd actually taken to bailing out as soon as I had fatal damage so that the guy who did it to me would get credit for it.

Kill it. I've seen bombers drop on the hangers just a second before they blow. I do leave them alone if they are to far away to do any damage before they would blow though.


On the damage thing........I have hit several fighters with 37mm cannon and only get an assist. 1 hit equals 100% damage on a fighter. How can I not cause fatal damage?

Shooting dead planes..... Just as bad as the guy with tracers on, shooting over your shoulder from 800d just as you line up a 200d killshot.
