Damage Model Problem Plane VS GV

[Bear69]

OK ... :bear: with me.....  I've noticed a LOT lately when a plane makes a single strafe run on a gv... sometimes 2, and then a tank turns around and kills the tank that was strafed by a plane..... the planes are getting the kills 9 out of 10 times.  even after multiple hits by a sherman after the strafe.  Can someone explain this?  And is there a way to fix it?

Ahh, I know why this happens.  It's the tracks.  They are a damageable component and can soak up a large quantity of damage from light cannon and MG which unbalances the kill awarding.  I'll have to see if there's a way that HT can alter the awarding of GV kills to take that into account.

What has been done? 
It didint seem this bad 6 months ago. 
Now any plane strafing a gv once will STEAL the kills from tanks fighting eachother. Is there anyu plans to modify the damage model and take into account the true damage inflicted

It was always that way. Back when I was hunting tanks in my Hurri D, I lost quite few kills to strafing Ponies & Spits, because their 300 hits (without any effect on the tank) counted more than my 2 hits into turret and engine compartment that blew the Tiger up.

I have been porking tanks with the B-25-H using the main gun. When I land a solid hit I usually get the kill if he is killed by someone else afterwards. When I shoot a tank and he dies I get the kill usually regardless of what has strafed it before me. Only the main gun is fired so Im not putting lots of rounds into the ground vehicle. Maybe youve just ran into situations like this.

Yes we have. Countless times. And that should not happen.
