Kill Stealers
« on: September 03, 2007, 05:25:41 PM »
I was engaged with a formidable opponent in a P-51d last night and as fate would turn out, I won the match by clipping the poor lads wing.  My respect for my opponent went to anger as he somehow felt that he had any business at 10k feet, spinning out of control, to remain in the cockpit.  

Now, lets be honest.....We all have seen this before.  Nevermind that my opponent should have bailed and allocated the victory to me; but that a veteran of my country decide to follow him down and pump rounds into the defeated opponent, STEALING MY KILL!

After I gave him my 2 cents (more than that), he did what he could only do in that situation; play dumb!

So I have this idea, why can't AHII come up with a solution that when an adversaries craft becomes disabled that the victory is secured to the worthy?  What do I mean?

Ok, the victory goes to the most worthy (round pumping) after the adversaries plane does the following:

1. Engine shuts down
2. Lost elevators
3. Lost wings

When this happens, any rounds pumped into the disabled aircraft afterwards would have no effect at all.  Think of it as shooting a tree in the game; no effect.  Therefore, no stealing kills.

So a guy looses his elevator to an auto ack...and another guy rips off his wings...auto ack gets the kill?

There is another way to look at this and, in the end, it will cause you a lot less grief. There are no stolen kills, just over zealous help. :)

Great question!!  I would propose among other things a proxy?  Is that reasonable?:confused:

I have already taken his wing out and he is spinning out of control.  What more is needed?:confused:

Other than stealing squadie kills, (which is great fun) it's pretty lame. Next time follow that guy around and when he gets into a situation and needs saving, just fly over him and say. Dam I would help ya, but I'm busy out looking to steal someones kills.  :D Or if he is winning a fight fly in front of him and make him kill shoot himself :)

Not necessarily.  His killstats page shows 5 kills that are not yet reflected on his scores page (which shows zero kills along with his zero assists).

Jury is still out.
