Is it stealing a kill …

[Ghosth]

Kill stealing is watching a countryman fight a bogey from 8 - 10k down to the deck, then slipping in at the last minute shredding the bogey and getting the kill.

It is a low down, dirty despicable habit practiced mostly by horde pilots who can't get one of their own.

Yes is was my kill :old

when, as a rook, I dive into a bish/knit fight?   

No, diving, whether into a fight or elsewhere, is merely a maneuver.

BTW, next time you go to an "all you can eat" restaurant, I recommend you eat, then go back for seconds, pile your plate high, and spit on the food and leave.

If the manager stops you with some smack about, "hey buddy, it says all you can eat, not all you can waste", respond with,  "it says all I can eat, not all I did eat."

He'll back off in deference to your obvious rhetorical skills.

Were you in a F4U-4?

nope.

i've done that before.

 try that in a p-38. they'll almost stop fighting each other, and all chase you.

Killstealing is a sport for Squads.

[Soulyss]

That reminds me of one of my more memorable fights, months and months ago I was up around 8-10k in a 38J and I mixed it up with LippyCH who was flying a KI-84.  We went round and round for a good long while until we were bounced by a higher 109, w/out any communication between us our fight stopped and we shot down the 109, put a few thousand yards between us and dove back in and resumed our fight. 

What I like about this particular memory is that's the part I still remember, I don't even recall who finally won.

As it concerns kill stealing, I shall quote a legendary master regarding the despicable practice:

WOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO

That is all.

[Yeager]

No.  It is not stealing a kill because they are both your enemy.  Perhaps, if it were a friendly who had a clear shot that you interfered with, then it could be called a steal.  But in my book a steal is still a win for the team.  So its all good.

[Shuffler]

Just do like Lew does..... claim your high heel got stuck on the pedal and in trying to get it loose you accidently hit the guns.

[The Fugitive]

You couldn't hit a bull in the arse with a shovel!  

I can TOO !!!! <uses best whiny voice> otoh, why would I want too? wouldn't just piss the bull off, and lets face it a shovel really isn't going to slow him down all that much. My aim sucks, not my brain !
