This is what happens to me most of the time. This particular time I was in on an F4F departing a field. Right at tree top level my screen started freezing and he gets the kill credit. This is the best exagerated example I can find but most if not all my misses are due to this type of problem.
I hit an F4F three separate sold hits, about five to six flashes each time and nothing happened. He was enguaged by another friendly and I got the credit. I think this may be connected to why I miss most if not all HOs. I hit hard but never cause enough damage to flame them but why then do I get credit when someone else flames them. On bad nights, I get hits but the just credited with an assist. I can understand when some one enflicks more damage getting the credit but why so inconsistant?
Also why when I am in an La-5 I get those results but when I am in the F4F (current CT set-up) I dont take on the same amount of damage, I get killed with three pings? It does not matter what I fly, I die with 0-3 pings and caint kill anything with many solid flash hits!!!!!!!
