Snakeing Kills?

[eng3firemn]

What is up with guys in the MA that go around accusing fellow countrymen of stealing their kills. Yesterday I was engaged with a spit over a field the bishes were trying to capture. I had been Turning & Burning with him for about 2 or 3 min and had several hits. In comes a fellow bish (I'll keep him anonymous)who scores a few hits at the same time I re-engage ....and down goes the con. As always, I follow the con down to the deck scoring as many rounds as possible to make sure he was good and dead, since a goon was OTW. Low and behold, over our RW frequency I am accused by this individual that I snaked HIS kill, and this was my only warning to never do it again.      Even after explaining the turn of events he still felt I had stolen what was his...and he only ended up with an assist.     My question for anyone out there is this: Was this considered stealing a kill and if not ....is it even possible to do such a thing? Or was this guy just a whiner? Does HTC award kills to person with most hits? I was just a little confused by the whole turn of events and was curious to find a few answers.

This was actually, according to your description, an attempted steal. He tried to steal your kill, lol.

As I understand, the one that does the most damage gets the kill, however, I have seen some anomolies. For example, one of my squad mates using mg's took the stab. off of a con. The con augers into the ground near me and explodes. I got a proximity kill. Go figure.

In ref to kill stealing etiquit <SP>. Most don't like it but sometimes they <we> don't see everything as is evident in your situation.

The BK's however are a different story altogether.

That's what we like to call a putz.

Some guy called Fradim always steals my kills. I don't mind, I steal Sprints instead, he's too busy trying to pinch Kwan's to notice. Westy got one once, but Dago took it off him. We made BB change his name 'cos he was in all the "Kill thief" wanted posters, and Mr Lars got jealous....

I hear ya fatty   . Almost makes me want to tell everyone who he is so we can have a DWEEB HUNT ... or just give him sh*t for being a whiner.

Was he a LuftWaffle?

Yep, no doubt he tried to steal your kill.  On the other extreme is the guy who, the other day after I shot the tail off a foe after a decent one on one, came in and followed the guy down, pumping .50's into him the whole way...he got the kill. Since the only other friendlies around were my squaddies, I politely "thanked" him for "finishing" my kill and told him he could have the 4 bandits coming in, too.  He didn't last long.

if the plane is already going down, why bother shooting it anymore? Why waste the ammo? it doesnt matter who gets the Kill, as long as the enemy is dead  


...then you have that whole respawn thing

I've seen it happen all too often.  Just the other night, I was flying with three other squaddies and we were working this LA7 and Camel had just squeezed his trigger when this kill-stealing nimrod zooms in front of him.  Not only does this bozo "steal" Camel's kill, but winds up shooting Camel down, too.  You see, right as Camel pulled the trigger he started hosing down the kill-stealing-bastage and kill-shooter did the rest.  This happened in sight of three of us and the guy still denied he "stole" the kill.  Go figure.  And this was only one of many times I've had this guy steal my kill.  Normally, I wouldn't mind, but this repeated offense thing is getting to me.  And when it results in the death of a squadmate who would have otherwise been able to land a legitimate kill, this is unforgivable.

So there.  Stoppit!

I feel better now.

Well I see that maybe a whole story should be told but I will not defend myself.  But I will say that I watched U tangle with this Spit for 5 minutes with no sign of a kill or a attempt to kill, I watched and I watched then I asked to see if U needed help and U said jump in, so I did and in one pass the spit was wingless.  and U continueed to shoot at him on the way down thats a steal to me.  I maybe wrong but I doubt it and I will say now that I know longer care, for it was yesterday and today is a new day if firemn U want to continue this banter I will gladly gun U down over and over again today for I have nothing better to do.   If I snaked the kill then I appologize for the accusation but I say so with a great deal of anger and I have lost a great deal of interest in the game, since the influx of Newbies who know it all.

If it weren't for newbies, you'd be SOL if you wanted to play AH.

Newbies keep games alive because without new people the game has the same faces day in and day out and that quickly becomes boring and the lack of revenue sends the game down the drain.

Ahh this is true but at the sametime how many have U seen read the README files or the help page on HTs page??  I am not against them I am just tired of them telling me they KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT WWII and the game hell I dont know everything about the game I can be pretty damn sure that HT doesnt know everything about the game.  So thats what I am tired of I guess I shoulda clarified myself.

There is no such thing as snaking kills.  If someone wants to fight one on one they go to the dueling arena.  Everything else is fair game in the MA.
