Destroying gun emplacements....
« on: May 26, 2010, 09:49:17 AM »
If someone is manning a fixed gun emplacement (ground or ship gun battery), and you destroy it by bomb or strafing, do you get a kill credit?.....

No.

You get points for the damage you do but no kills.

Yes, that is true.

But you SHOULD get a kill, and they SHOULD get a death.

People manning gun positions (say in ships) do get a kill credit for shooting down planes....

Yes we do.

Same as if you shoot down a plane (or destroy a ground vehicle).

They just don't count for score/rank purposes.

yea all we get is our stupid names in lights.. no score, no perks.

i think its a fair tradeoff as is.. gunners get names in lights, planes get damage points for their score.

Soft gun kills should count as a kill for the plane/tank that kills them for sure.  Specially in a plane, we are taking a risk in getting shot down trying to take out a maned gun just as we are in engaging an enemy plane.

 :x :x :x perfect solution to super ack CV monkeys!!! dont allow people to man the 5" guns until they have a certain number of credits for the 40mm and 50cals on the ships! same with the SBs. dont allow SBs to be used unless people have a certain amount of manned gun kills :aok

best way to earn GV perks is to capture a field for the lowest numbered team,   i'm talking 10-20 perks for a base cap or more.

Think High ENY rides, low number team.   I think the best GV run I dream't up was a jeep + supplies to an enemy airfield (all ack down of course)  and popped some LA7's spawning in on the runway,   base got taken landed 5 kills in a jeep =  60 perks  :D

OR... resupply a base that is severely damaged.  A base that has major damage can award 6+ perks each trip.  Each OBJ repaired gets .25 points, mind you that a "repair" point does not mean that it has to have been fully repaired either, you get the .25 GV perk points regardless.  So... if a base gets swarmed and 4 ord bunkers, 4 fuel depots, 3 barracks, the radar, and 6 auto ack all get blowd' up, a single run in with an C47, M3, SdKfz 251, or LVT2 with field supplies will award 4.5 perks (if the ENY modifier is 1.0).

Easy peasy.   :)

I remember a guy some time ago that camped a runway in an M3. He landed 13 kills and i believe he said he got 124 perks lol
