I was just looking at my scores and kills and other than being dismal I noticed something.
Last night I was in a Yak, shot up a Lanc, then collided with him and had to bail out giving him the kill. I popped my chute and noticed the bomber I hit was on fire and, when it went down I got the kill as I floated to the ground.
Now, my score sheet says I have 43 (I think) kills. Then under kills it also says I have 43 and lists one of them as being in a chute. I counted them individually so the 43 is right. That means that the kill in a chute counted in my fighter kills. They never used to. They used to be in "kills not counted toward rank", and not included in your main scorecard. I also noticed that the "kills not counted toward rank" line is no longer listed under kills.
When did this change? Will all kills in a chute now count toward the aircraft you were in before you bailed? Will time in a chute now count toward sortie time? Will field/ship gun sorties somehow be figured into score?
Or is this some sort of bug?
