My hits cause a 109 to lose his engine.  He ditches right in front of me.  No kill.  Call it what you want but its an example of wrong.

Happened to me the other night, shot down a formation of Lancasters and didn't get credit for either kills or an assist and we weren't near any bases and I was the only one that had engaged the bombers.

This is not a bug.  The system worked as designed.  I like the way the system is designed and think it should stay the same.

Please do not call me names because I disagree with you.

I have no issue with disagreeing. Tell me why you'd like it to stay the same.

I already did tell you, and you went straight to the "my poop don't stink and everyone else is wrong" line. The next time you get away with a ditch after losing half your wing you will straight to the end zone celebration routine without even thinking about it.

But you do exemplify the word "wrong." That much is clear.

If you actually shot them down (as opped to them ditching), it's a different issue than the OP presented.

Ditching the aircraft means they've been shot down or rendered combat ineffective.  The example was clear.  Engine kill forced him out of the sky.  In wartime that is a victory for the person shot the engine out and a nice landing for the loser.

In real life, if you were shot up and ditched 5 feet short of the runway then you wouldn't have been "killed" and the other pilot would not be credited for a kill, just like AH.

OP wasn't about landing on the runway or even near the runway.  Lots of dead stick landings during the War and whether the pilot was killed has nothing to do with it the shooter still got awarded the kill/victory.  I get shot down all the time and bail out and I'm not cartoon killed but I still show up in your buffer

Actually, ditching merely means that a player didn't land their aircraft on the runway or designated landing area (whether someone else caused that player to or the player just did it). There is no consideration of why .... only that the player didn't die (or bail). To be honest, I half expected this thread to be a satire (though it's even funnier if it's an attempt at a 'serious' debate).

But .... how the hell would ya code the game to know that a plane that took hits then ditched was a kill? (No, really, think about it.)

I just got off the phone with Skuzzy and he explained it.  What's funny is no one in this thread is actually right.  Lots of partial hits but no "kills" lol.
And the coding is already there for the most part...it has to be.  It knew I oiled the 109 and that forced the engine to shut down.  You're not missing much to complete the circle eh?
