see if somebody else hit your target first..make sure your target is dead and not just wounded-so he can ditch :joystick:

I don`t think you get anything for shooting a target *already critically damaged*. So if you unknowingly put bullets into a guy down a vert stab, for instance, that could explain it.

I've had kills not credited before just as your talking about. I've also had kills start popping up in the text buffer when I'm re-arming, 10 minutes after the actual killing occurred!  :lol

Yeah a few other things make me suspicious. Very least an assist. Not even close to first time. I love how people try to give a million excuses about how OP's perception is flawed.

Chalk it up to lag?

I once shot JoeBlack down and didn't get the kill message in the buffer until the following week...

Looks like a clean kill.  That's the only film I've seen that looks like that or is that definitive.  I'd send that one in

Have this on a regular basis.

Regarding assists, if you are in a furball and the bandit you shoot at has been pinged by several others, there is a limited amount of assist slots. If these are full you won't get a credit. Dunno exactly how many slots there are for assists.

Next to not receiving victory messages I also enjoy rubber bullets a lot. Shot 2 taters into a KI84 the other day. I have no tracers so the explosions I saw must have been hits. But the KI landed just fine without visible damage.  :furious

I know it's a tough bird but 2 splashes on top of engine and cockpit?  :noid
