Assists / Kills
« on: September 10, 2018, 09:28:12 AM »
Very unclear to me how this works. Sometimes I can strafe from wingtip to wingtip with 20-mms and get an assist. Other times I can clip off an aileron, disengage and later get a kill when I'm somewhere else.

Am I to infer who did the first damge gets some kind of priority?

I also question this. It's seems strange to me when I reverse a perfectly capable plane that is shooting at me which appears to have very little damage, only to shoot him down, and then somehow get an assist. Is there a point scheme for each part you can damage the plane? Just not sure.

It's really weird. Today I took off someone's aileron with a 30-mm and someone else jumped in so I broke off. Minutes later I got the kill. Seems a bit unfair for the other fella. Then last week during the arena test, I put a lot of 20-mm from one wingtip to the other into a Corsair, took both wings off at the root and cleaved him in twain - assist. He had been attacking a bomber who had fired at him <Shrug>

Most damage points inflicted before catastrophic failure gets the kill.

In my personal experience, it all evened out in the long run :)

I've got awarded a kill hitting a vert stab off with a single ping with 303. After a person in a Typhoon took a rudder and alieron but ran out of ammo...

How did I do the most damage before catastrophic failure?

damage points

I hate to keep coming across as somebody that's not payed the slightest bit of attention to score for the last ten years but...

It's not about score, at least not directly ;)
