if I shoot off his wing, why do others still fill him with holes?
« on: April 11, 2006, 01:06:33 PM »
A bit confused on this:
last night I started to notice that even after I had shot wings of off 2 seperate planes, people were still content to shoot the scraps of the body as it spiraled down to the ground...so I guess kills are based on total dmg inflicted even if the plane is mortally wounded?

i think so. One time I had a 109 and filled all 3 buffs with every bit of ammo I had.  someone came by and shot them down, and I got credit for all 3 kills since I guess either i did the most damage or something like that

the issue is not the damage model so much as the tards who steal kills that are clearly in no state to fight on.



nd unfortunately it happens alot, my advise is to hold your shot a little longer and pump the canopy full of lead too, I try to make sure i pop the melon on all my kills, simply because in a large furball some people steal kills as a hobby.

Guess I replied without really reading, oops. What can you expect from a ball of meat anyway? :)


I had a few stoled from me, but once they do on purpose I will chase them around and steal their kills or try to have them killshoot themselves on me.  Maybe I will be as great as NathBDP one fo these days :D

wasnt meaning to sound hostile there if i did meatwad, just that not more than a few days ago i landed 9 kills in a spit8 when my goal for one sortie (no reload) was 10. reason i only landed 10? my last 100 rounds of MGs i took off a zeke's tail after a close turn fight 1 on 1, only to see a fellow knight dive from 7k above us and shot the hell out of the zeke as it floated down. that just sucked, took alot of restraint not to ball the guy out on range.

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.

People do this all the time, and you can't stop them, cause it's a video game.  Last night I ripped a guys rear off of his plane he's floating for 500 ft. and someone comes in and swoops him, tears off his wing and I got an assist out of it.

So beat them to the punch, when I shoot someone down I'll just lace into them until they explode.  This way I ensure I got the most bullets in the guy.

Sucks cause you run out of ammo faster, but I don't land 4 assists as often as i used to for guys I shoot down.

You probably would have gotten the assist anyways. 100 rounds of .303s, I don't think, have what it takes to separate the empanage from a Zeke. Someone might have weaken him sooner ... hence you might have just gotten an assist.

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

Couple of nights ago I see one of our guys chasing a bad guy and who was about to be killed by another one behind him.  So I throw him a check 6 and dive on the bogey sneaking up on him.

I take off the ememy's wing and the plane is spiralling to the ground.  My "team-mate", who couldn't catch the guy running from him, then follows the plane I shot off his six to the deck shooting madly the whole time.  He gets the kill I get an assist.

I wrote down his hande.

No check 6 next time for him.
