Properly Credit Ack Kills
« on: May 03, 2013, 08:20:37 AM »
Anyone killed by AA fire should get the message :"You were shot down by AAA"
Not credit it in any way to the guy that just unknowingly spawned as the ack kills the guy and not the guy running into his ack for a safe score pad :old:

who cares about score? Most guys seem to get off on the "you shot down ........"
this should be removed from the game, they want to land 2 kills and get a wtg matey, hence their dash to ack.
twice today i had  p51 firing from 2k till I jinked past him and then ran immediately to  :bheadack

I much rather have this message then have "XXX has killed you" when that person was simply in the area when you crashed or died from the ack.

They do.

They are regular kills for K/H K/D and so on. The only difference to a 'regular' kill that you are getting only one single score point due to the lack of damage inflicted.

They count for score, but they do not count for perk points.

This is how it was in WarBirds.

"Player X was killed by Ack Weenies" was the message IIRC. :) There probably wouldn't be any arena-wide message in AH though as single kill messages were replaced with the landing kills-messages roughly 10 years ago.

I wonder if this would, even slightly, reduce ack runners?

I don't see how it would.

I think the main thinking of an 'ack runner' is more like "I don't want to get shot down' than 'I do want to get a free kill'

I know for sure it is like that in my case. I would not run less to ack knowing I don't get a proxie.  :noid

Damn right!  I will use my base ack to get  a red off butt any time, any day.  Apparently some guys have never been the fish in the bowl with a swarm of cats hovering over the rim.

I got a kill  the other day when a red chased me  through the ack.  Like the OP said, He should get a message "ack got you dummy" and maybe I should get the message, "Ack saved your butt."
