Yesterday I had tracked a T34/85 that was camping the spawn hanger at a friendly V-base with the manable gun. Was working on his turret when he swung it around and destroyed my position.
I elected to take flight to ward of others approaching the base due to the hanger still being camped. Knew that friendlies were coming from another spawn and would get the T34 before I got there. Was still a good ways out from the V-base(to far for tower-out or simultaneous kill proxie) when I get a kill message and 2 seconds later an announcement in green text the the camper was dead and it was safe to up from the V-base. Expanded kill stats show a T34/85 kill.
Later that day I pilot wounded an La7 and he ran to a pack of his friendlies. I switched to attacking the low B17s that were headed to my base. Got pieces to come off 2 of them but he got me.
As I re-upped with no enemy near the base and I get a kill message(I'm thinking the La7). I make it out to the incoming bombers and find 2 friendlies tearing them apart. 2 assists pop up with the same name.
This is all fine with me. I just don't recall this happining before in the 7 years I've played this game. Had kills pop up just as I get to tower after simultaneous kill or ground strike. This is different. Is it a new feature or a bug?
