Manned ack should count as a kill?

[YUCCA]

Just saying if they get credit for killing you doesn't it stand to reason you should get credit for killing them?

Acks are not scored in any way, killing them does give you score.

How about just a killed message, "You have shot down (soandso)" with no # behind it so we can shame people camping in manned guns without having to resort to shutting down the game and jumping in film viewer?

No, how about we don't shame anyone who has found their fun and is paying their 14.95 to play just like you.

My fun is shaming people on 200.

But it doesn't hurt the gunner.  When they shoot us, however, they ruin streaks, crush K/D ratio,  etc.   All reward, no risk--for the gunner.  I think that's the point the OP was getting at.

Ahhhh poor baby , he had his kill streak shortened because he flew into a FIXED  base defense to vulch and wants to blame someone else.

Wow, you took the words out of several people's mouths.

Not entirely sure who's HT's post was directed at.  If it were me it's not about blaming someone. A squad mate posed the question the other day. It was a question posted in the right forum category and a simple one. Not trying to ruffle feathers.

So... the proper thing to do then is not chase the guy that dives a sector and a half from 20k to run to his ack?

Oh you definitely chase them. Deack the field if necessary. No runners. 

[wil3ur]

I've got no problem sacrificing myself to the AAA gods chasing a runner.   There are times when combat is so hard to find, it's the best you're going to get.  If the guy gets a proxy off of me because I actually want to do combat in a combat sim, so be it.

I just find it exceptionally hilarious when they take to 200 afterwards to gloat about how they lured me into their ack.  Sorry, nope.  I'm more than capable of orbiting a field and staying out of your guns -- I'll even disable the 88's just to make sure there are no surprises.  Don't ever equate your lack of manhood to me just wanting to fly.

Why me?   I'm not griping about it.   I just agree with the OP.  It seems unbalanced.   *shrug*
