new kill/assist system

[LThunderpocket]

i am proposing a new kill/assist system.the reason is,i have shot down many planes seemingly by myself and gotten assist for them.

yesterday-7 assists 0 kills in 1 sortie.WTF lol

i might be wrong on the current way a kill is given to someone but isnt it whoever does the first damage to enemy plane (shoots off a part,causes oil/fuel leak)so technically u can shoot someones aileron off and leave it for someone to finish it off and u still get the kill.not very fair it seems to me.

on other instances i have shot off entire wings,blown up,cut in half enemy planes and gotten assists.

*my idea*

each airplane part shot off will be scored. ex. aileron=50,elevator,flap=60,oil leak=100,fuel leak=110,pilot wound=125,half wing=125,full wing=170,vert stab=170,tail=190,fire=500,explosion=500


so say a player shoots off a 109s aileron and a flap.thats 110 points of damage done.another player comes along and shoots off half of the wing.player #2 would be credited with the kill for doing more damage.so on so fourth.

this is a sure way to know if its your kill.it might stop people from shooting off a flap or aileron and simply flying away knowing he will evenutally get the kill.


just an idea

The current system works just fine ... It's whoever does the most damage up till a catastrophic failure or pilot death.

You may think you shot the wing off a plane that I just mugged, but it was just 1 or 2 .50 cal bullets from your guns that caused the wing to fall off ... Sooooooo, because I really did the most damage, I get the kill and you get the assist.

7 assist with 0 kills tells me that you pretty much run around shooting up everyone elses sloppy seconds.

beat me to it slapshot...tried to do a search and get the exact verbiage htc used but no dice.

just  ...

The trainer page says it's overall damage to the plane.  I've been assuming, with assists, that I just didnt land enough hits compared to the guy before me.

That's how it works right now right?

Pure overall damage is the old system, until a few update's ago. But it is not really wrong either, as it's still about who did the most damage until some catastrophic damage happened. The only change is that now you can't shoot wingless planes falling down hoping to steal the kill.

Who even gave the aircraft the most damage gets the kill, even if nothing falls off. Also I noticed that you get a lot more assists with canons, so I think the amount of let you put into the aircraft counts as well. After a major part falls off and the airplane is un-flyable what ever damage the aircraft revives does not register and you don't even get an assist.

not possible.

you only get assists if someone else did the damage to nme con...so if you were in a red hoard and killing planes you would be getting kills not assists.

whats you ingame name?

lets see some film of this.
