I shot down a B-26 and just got a assist.  Nobody was around but me at the time.

Did it ever occur to you he may have been engaged and damaged before you got to him?

I tried to steal Stang's kill last night.  He left a perfectly good Seafire floating back down to earth with no tail, i nailed it and exploded him, expecting a text book BK kill steal - nothing.  I didn't get kill, no assist, no tears from Stang...  The system needs fixing.

LOL in case you're not joking...


Among the changes for version 2.16 Patch 0

•Changed plane damage scoring so that any further damage that is done after a critical component is destroyed
  is not counted towards the scoring of the kill and assists. Critical components are as follows:
  complete (not partial) wing loss on one side, loss of all horizontal stabilizers,
  loss of all vertical stabilizers, loss of rear fuselage, and fuel fires.

Tragic. I quit if it's not fixed.

For someone that hasn't played in a long time, these changes came as a horrible, horrible surprise.

Why horrible? IF you shoot a planes wing off or tail off the noob thief cant steal the kill. Its all win/win.

Glad to see the squadron Intelligence Officer's job has been made easier through the elimination of doubt who got the victory.

Because it is well known that 64.62% (give or take) of Furball's lifetime kills are at the expense of his squadmates, with a further 28.37% (give or take) stolen from the AH population at large.

The remaining 7.01% (approximately) of his kills are proxies awarded when one of his squadmates ram-tards a buff and disintegrates before the kill is awarded.




It's true, I swear.

He probably thought someone else should get the kill.
