no you up 3 planes and you dont land them all, then whichever you dont land count as basically a death for scoring purposes.

you do know that ditch/auger/deaths all count the same towards score right?  same as in a fighter.  a ditch/capture is considered a death as far as score goes.

Not sure you got my drift.

Everybody knows it counts as a death......that is Aces High 101.

They are not concerned with the death counting........they are concerned with denying a kill to the pursuer.

and every fight you ever get in with another fighter results in a death?  or does somebody sometimes takes a nose dive and makes a run for it.  not really any different.

It sounds like you are saying they dont care about score? except when it comes to giving up a kill? I think thats a ridiculous assumption. They stand a much better chance of surviving your attack if they have the drones versus having just the single bomber. I have seen enough bombers that bail without dropping the first bomb when they know they are going to be attacked especially if properly attacked and not from dead six. What you are seeing are dweebs that dont know how to hang onto drones. EASY kills even if you do have to climb up to them.

Now if you meant to post that they are losing drones and not sustaining deaths on their score then maybe you meant this for the bugs forum? Otherwise I dont see the point. There are lots of dweebs to kill and plenty of time to get it done.

EDIT: I went and checked your kills to see who it is you are complaining about. It isn't unusual for this to happen when you use a 163. Otherwise you simply have not seen this happen enough times to actually have anything to complain about. So... seems to me you are just complaining about having to climb to 30k to kill one guy. If thats it just elect not to do it. You will be missing out on the best part of the game IMHO but thats your choice to make.

Score is not impacted by the drones dying and the high buffs losing drones on purpose is only one of many issues my suggestion would have a positive effect upon.

LOL at thinking you can figure me out by looking at my score and stats because I fly a different theme every tour.

Since I started in 1993, I have seen pretty much every single way to exploit multiplayer combat flight simulators.

Aces High is has closed more exploits than the rest but more can be done.........hence my suggestion.

They count as a death. So yes it does.

Who cares if they bomb and bail or drop their drones? I find it pointless to climb to anything above 15K. The highest I've ever been in a fighter in the MA was ~20K chasing a runner (killed him eventually). Let them perk farm or do milk runs, not your concern at all. Do whatever *you* find fun. If killing bombers isn't fun for you, don't do it.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

How many points does a milkrunner lose when he only lands one his B17s or lancasters instead of three?

I am curious why chalenge mentions ME163 because that is the one plane in the planeset that is nearly immune to the problem for the sole reason that they can appear on your six at d1500 at 32,000 feet before the dar bar even displays an enemy in the sector.

90% of my 163 missions are playing around at 90,000 feet, seeing how far I can fly one and still get home, or make some noise in a furball 8 sectors from where the 163 up.

I didnt go so far as to figure out which fighter you were getting single kills with. But there were very few of them (single kills on bombers).

Yes looking at your score can say a lot about what you do online. If you are up high looking for bombers then it takes time to get up there and your kills per time will drop. If you fly bombers and cant hold onto your drones then you will have a lower damage per death (even lower if you get the single killed after).

Lol all you want its obvious you just want things changed to improve your peformance in relation to everyone else. It wont work.
