Agreed!  You and I need to get HT drunk, then get him to change the code the same night, Aug.1st --4th. :)  This is my biggest pet peeve with AH.

There should be no kills for midair collisions or mutual deaths. Both over eager beavers should die. Right now sometimes one plane flies off without any damage at all. Thats fakey.

:eek:

"sometimes one plane flies off without any damage at all. "


That's because only one person see's that on their computer, the other one avoided the collision.  (remember, lag does stuff like this)

HO is a legal tactic, and fairly logical when you can trust your plane's durability and firepower. However, knowing nothing else BUT HOs is definately dweebism beyond compare. Once I've met this N1K2 who tried 6 consecutive HO runs on me. Of course, I didn't walk into it.. first few passes I felt fun, feeling like a Matador, but after the guy's fourth HO attempt, boy does it get boring and lame.

 Awarding kills for reckless HO attempts does not help in anyway. The goal of ACM is to kill without being killed, not mutual destruction. You risk a gamble in HOs, and if your wing falls off, no matter what state the guy you shot at is, you lose.

 Therefore, I support no kills awarded when both opponents fatally damage each other. Maybe that will actually urge people who rely only on HOs, to learn some other way to achieve kills.

No kill should be award unless at least one friendly is in visual range. Dems are the rules - must have a witness.

Colliding with the enemy and destroying government property is a court martial offense.

Any Vets from beta have an opinion on this? This is one thing that I really hate about AH..

Last to hit the ground should get the kill.  Better chance for a HO whine that way.

Dead pilots don't get kills . Unless they're zombie pilots, or maybe vampires .

Happened a lot. I rope someone of Spit&Nik suicide squad. While I dive on him, he manages to put his nose up, a vertical HO develops and we both miss our wings. Still, I hit the ground first and he gets the kill.

Well, tough luck. I started with advantage but blew it - the enemy managed a draw. From ACM point of view, it was my fault.

From realism point of view, I am pissed as hell at so many suicide one-way-ticket Spit/Niki types. But guess what, it has been solved (IMO) by kill message. No kills shown unless you land.

On a different note. I got 10+ kills in G-10 the other day, exclusively by roping dw...newbies in H2H. They were very pissed and it was almost 7 vs 1. I decided to land on another field, but a guy takes off from that same field (watching radar, obviously). His only goal was to shoot me down so my kills don't show. He manages a HO and laughs. Well, that did piss me off ;).

Lesson learned : nevere underestimate the power of a dweeb. They will use whatever the game offers them and go a looooong way.
