Kills/Assists didn't show
« on: November 02, 2009, 08:25:12 AM »
I was at 117 yesterday. We fought back the bish to point of CAP. In the process I shot down 2 uppers and never received a kill message or an assist. What happened there?

If they were still on the runway, or low enough, they may have been able to get a landing.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

 It's anoying that they could get down on the ground and ditch. Would a WWII pilot get credit for a kill if this happened? Don't know.  :headscratch:

No way one would make it back, I blew his wing off and he was away from the runway. In fact I heard him explode.

  Yesterday I thought I definitely tagged a p38 and he was smoking and exploded as he hit, no assist no kill. And another time I just upped at a field and got a kill without firing a shot and many other friendlies were closer to where he exploded. Gets weird when so many players in the same vicinity.  :headscratch:

It's possible that someone else had already critically damaged him, so even though you knock a wing off you get neither a kill or an assist.  Maybe a stabilizer was gone? 

Also possible he was low and slow enough to crash land and get a ditch that way i suppose, though unlikely.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Yesterday, I shot up a p47, saw his entire wing come off as did several other people,(not just the tip) , watched the guy crash into the water... no kill no assist.  I've never seen this happen in all the years I've been playing this game.

I've had it happen as well, film is the only proof and it will help HTC figure it out. Turn on auto-film an record everything then send it in for them to look at.

I've been hit a few times, only to explode seconds afterward from the previous hit.   Weird.

I upped from a vbase (113 on ozkansas map) under attack by three F4Us two of which died to another WIRB of ours. The third was attacking a SB so I drove over to the maproom and shot his oil when he flew over me. He continued to attack the SB and I hit him again in the tail. After two more passes he gets nervous that I am getting to close so he flies away but his engine seizes immediately and he ditches on the beach but stays in his plane. I drove down the hill (at great peril I might add as the WIRB rolled but landed on its tracks) and one of my squad mates offered to follow with supplies in case I rolled again and didnt land on my tracks. No problem I got to the beach and drove to the crashed plane and sat next to him about ten feet away. I used the hull gun to shoot his rudder and fin off and then shot the pilot in the head (blood was now visible on the canopy). Lyric drives over witht he jeep and fires four rounds into the tail which then falls off (I had already hit the tail with 20mm and saw the flashes while I was on the base). Lyric inched closer and collided with the plane which soon exploded. Lyric got the kill and I didnt even get an assist.

I still favor this over having dweebs dive on dead airplanes and stealing the kill.
