credit should be given to the ack weenies for the kills they make. not to other players nearby.

Let's be honest, Cit. Many of the kills you acquired on me came from you running into ack (followed by you telling me how stupid I was, how I did it wrong, etc.). You were right about me chasing you into ack was stupid, but you gladly accepted the kills as a victory anyway.

You can't have your cake and eat it, you know.

I agree, if you get killed by the AAA, the credit should not go to the ack hugger.

I have no problem if the guy is defensive an he's using the ack defensively, but to give him any kills earned by the robo gunners is ridiculous.

Was like this in WB, was really funny, ack weenies got more kills then all the pilots

No way. Ack WEenies would be nº1 Kill stealers with their 1-ping-fatal-damage laser weapons.

yeah ack weenies - are we voting or something? yes

All this concern about the ack weenies is amusing. You guys seem to think the ack is the deadliest killer in the game. I think you are all wrong. There is one other killer that surpasses the ack and has an absolutely perfect K/D ratio. (for those who care about such things) The best killer in the game is none other than.... the surface of the virtual earth. It NEVER loses a collision and never takes damage.

My vote is for ack

Agree with Cit on this, one thing i like about WBs was Ack Weenies got the kill.....

But should be dependant on who did more damage. If someone filled a plane full o holes and did more damage than the Ack, The pilot would get the kill.

Dog out...........

Yep give it to the flak pukes.

I am on both sides of this one...
I get a lot of free kills, and I give a lot of guys kills while stripping ack.
I do a lot of jabo/de-ack sorties and usually die before I finish the job. I have never had a problem with the enemy plane/pilot getting credit for an ack kill on me. His presence often pressures me to de-ack quicker and to take bigger risks. Just because he didn't get a hit on me doesn't mean that he didn't play a big part in getting me killed. Besides, I don't think that the current system gives you perk or score points for maneuver or ack/freebie kills.

Either way, no way should the ack get credit if it did more damage. Even if you blew a guys wing off as he entered ack range I think the ack would often still end up doing more damage and end up stealing the kill.

I like the current system even though my score would probably benefit from the suggested change.

No way! I one ping someone on a suicide run, chase them from 18k to ground zero and watch the ack steal it?

Okay, give it to the weenies if the guy ain't hit already, otherwise...

Zigrat · « **Reply #14 on:** November 04, 2001, 09:49:00 PM »

i am with voss. i think ack weenies should get thekill ONLY if there hasnt been a single ping by a player on him.

there should be no "assist"to an ack weenie, but by the same token if ack was teh sole cause of an airplane being killed (ie no player lead in your plane) then i think ack weenie should get kill.
