Assists / Kills

[nrshida]

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?

It's not about score, at least not directly
