When someone can land a couple of kills in a C-47 there's room for improvement.

When the overeagerbeaver salivating over an easy goon kill augers in his haste to shoot an unarmed target, a system message should go out: SO and so was killed by a C-47.

I'd give up that prox kill to see that anyday.

If it twertn't for proximity kills, dweebs like me wouldn't get kills.

Please don't take the last vestage of dweebish self esteem I have left in this virtual life away!

Or if we want to be really really realistic... require a fellow country man to be in visual range to serve as an eye witness to the kill otherwise no kill counts... ok well unless you have gun camera.. ok add gun camera footage. But you have to remember to turn it on.

Sheesh.... does any one really care.

If you dont score a single hit, you should never be awarded with a kill.

A good number of people willingly enter fights from defensive conditions and often maneuver their timid cherry-picking opponents into the dirt. Doing this should probably be rewarded with a kill. Not an easy event to determine admitedly...

Nothing is perfect. I have given away as many free kills as I have earned through augers and acks. Do I think it can be improved? Yeah. Is it worth the time and effort to put into it? No. Proxy kills are not common enough to devote the time to research how many are valid maneuver kills vs the suiciders at fields vs anything else. Definitely not worth the time needed to alter/add/do whatever to the code.

As Shane said, they don't count towards the overall score or rankings. They only show up on the kill stats screen. Is it really that big of a deal seeing someone land kills in a C-47?
