perks for Kills

[BirdDog]

how do you get credit for kills?  i'm in a fighter i shoot and kill the bad guy.  the game tells me i killed the bad guy.  there are no holes in my plane.  i land on the runway ( no ditch or crash).  i end sortie.  no credit no perks.  how do i get credit for kills?  ( bombers, fighters.......) Im not a noob.   anyone else running into this?  I've got perks.  this has been going on for about a month or so.

Only get perks in the main arenas..NOT in dueling arena...only thing I can think of.

You only get perks in the main arenas as stated.. However, you will not receive perks for a "proxy kill".. This is when an enemy crashes or explodes within close range.. If you did not have hits on him you get the "kill" but no perks..

To add to the other replies...

You will only see your name in lights if you successfully land with two or more kills.  You will always get some perks for things you kill - in arenas where perks are enabled.
