The art of the killshot.....

[Guppy35]

Just to clarify, what I thought was clear in the initial post.

I didn't have any problem with what happened.  I just thought it interesting that I happened to be filming it as it happened.  No beef with Zazen or anyone else for that matter

Yea, likewise Guppy. We talked about it after it happened on vox. It was just one of those things, the Niki was loose on his own, we just both went after him at the exact same time in the exact same position.

I understand the reason for killshooter, but there are other ways it could be handled.  Instead of applying the damage to just your plane, you could apply it to both (which might actually discourage someone from cutting in front of your guns).

Alternatively, if you are worried about dweebs / spies shooting down friendlies, you could set a flag (warning - killed a friendly) the first time someone does it (in case it is an accident), and then if it happens again (dweeb/spy = yes), you boot them from the country.

if somebody kills the bird im chasing.....it just means i didnt kill them quick enough.

examples:

1)I'm saddled up on a con shooting away in vain and Zazen swoops in and pops the guy just before i get another shot.

evaluation: NOT a kill-steal, i was too slow, swear at myself.


2)I'm saddled on a con and manage to blow his tail feathers off, and let the remaining parts fall to earth. Zazen swoops down and blasts the defeated con with his 4xhizookas, caliming credit for the kill.

evaluation: kill-steal, swear at Zazen.


any questions?

Actually there wasn't.  The N1K was off from the pack which made him a more favorable target for a slow 38G driver like me

slow 38g? that one is a beast! I love to fly it and have others under estimate me in it.  then the kill is more satisfying

At that range, I'm impressed that you just lost a flap.

Yea i thought Corky's wing would've been gone.  Corky how does this stuff always happen to you? You need to sprinkle salt on yourself and have a priest do an exorcism on you to remove bad luck.

[Shuffler]

hmm just part of a flap lost????... He landed a plane with more parts than usual then

[LEADPIG]

Please no more laughs, the doctor says i'll die if a have any more, at which point my lawyer will serve you all with wrongful death subpeona's

P.S. When i was a kid i used to think subpoena was a dirty word, and found out it is.

I found the link to where almost the exact same thing happened to me four years ago. Very relevant to this day on the flaws of the current "frag rules". If you look at Corky's picks our planes are actually overlapped, just like what happened to me back then. My propsal was a minimum threshold where the self-hit fragging occurs, like 100 yards
