Mk 108: the unter-cannon

BS.  It's a game and that's how it works.  If you don't like the model don't play.

Personally I love stealing kills from people that will whine about it.

Thats just sad bodhi.

What you're saying makes it sound like the damage model favors aircraft that rely on a high rof over those that rely on high lethality per round when it comes to awarding kills.

I wouldn't say that.... I'd say it's easier to kill with 30mm than .50 cal. Think of all the components that aren't modelled in AH... Control surface lines/linkages, hydraulic lines etc etc. All of that stuff cannot be damaged by .50 cal fire, so you have to make sure that you put your rounds onto parts that will make plane crash quickly.

The damage model favours who ever gets the highest sum of damage first, that's all.

There are no assists if you get in first with the 30mm.

I know it's annoying to see a plane splinter into pieces from your well placed 30mm round only to get an assist for your trouble but look at it as the straw that broke the camels back...

You didn't watch my first film?  That Spit had absolutely zero damage before I hit him.  I had just taken off and he came in from above.  I was the first person to put any hits on him.

[Xasthur]

No, I didn't, sorry mate.

I'm surprised you got an assist if someone else finished it off.

They must have put a lot of rounds into it if that's the case.

Okay this is how it is with the assists. Each part of a plane has damage points 0-100. When there is enough damage to make that part go to 100 it falls off. Those points add up to who gets the kill and who gets assists. You got one hit on the tail and it fell off. That's 100 points to you. If you watch he takes the spits left wing off that's 100 points to him. He must have hit something other then that wing he took of thus giving him more then your 100 points and he got the kill.
