Burning hulk
« on: September 23, 2003, 09:10:11 AM »
As I shred the wings off a P-47 with my F6 50's, both wings fall off and the hulk is a burning falling mass about 4k up, I am feeling pretty good and pull the nose up to gain some alt, looking out the rear view I see the Burning hulk I had just created floating
to the ocean slowly, But wait....Out from nowhere come two brave countrymates to save me from the Burning hulk, they fire round after round at the falling mass one actually turning 180 to make another pass after the flamed P-47... I yell on range " the wings were both gone what are you firing at" Other pilot yells back "P-47's down" by now I have spit beer on the monitor screen while laughing... I yell at the monitor screen "friggin Porcupines"
  Its just a game!!!

Could also be Netlag. I've seen it happen, where the airplane might have appeared intact and in a stall to them.

The:mad: is because kill-stealing happens all the time in the MA, and that's how I feel about it.  

as for "yeller"bellied, just look for a Bishop P-47 and you will find out.

My first impression was the jump to a conclussion one...
 After thinking about it, I also had considered lag as reality.

We have all seen the "hovercraft" phenomenon, the "flaming dart", and the "tail-less" flop, and know that the plane is dead. Yet some still insist on shooting the crap out of it hoping to get the kill.

I love to see the kill message appear in my buffer and then watch the dweebs lost their alt, spend ungodly amounts of ammo trying to make it explode, and then end up augering or getting bounced. :rofl

If the plane is not flying with some sort of forward movement, then I consider it dead and will not shoot at it ...

UNLESS ...

One of my squaddies has shot the plane, or one of the BKs has shot the plane (especially Lazs), or one of the 13th TAS has shot the plane. Only under those conditions is it fair to "steal the kill" cause cod knows, they will do it to me ... :D

You guys can all just shuddup!! :(

I had  new one ripped for me AND a nopoop rating of 6.8 when I whined about killstealing.

And now I'll get slagged for whining about a whine about a whine.

And you people MADE me do it.

To avoid getting kills stolen from you,
stop being a spray-and-pray dweeb, and kill your targets properly.  Get close and shoot untill thier plane dissapears in a cloud of debris.

If you're going to kill people half-assed, expect others to finish your job for you.

Ikon, you should listen to your own words.  It's just a game.

When this happpens it is not the killstealing that gets to me, it is the 2-3 countrymen losing alt and using up ammo on a dead hulk when there are other valid targets around.

Weird

Standard rubber stamp response for this thread topic ...

"stop being a spray-and-pray dweeb, and kill your targets properly. Get close and shoot untill thier plane dissapears in a cloud of debris.

Spray-and Pray:

Stupid assumption

Kill your targets properly:

Slicing wings off sounds proper to me

Shoot until their plane disappears:

I am sure anyone who says this always makes the plane explode. Obviously they aren't in a early war ride with limited ammo so after slicing a wing off, why spend more ammo making the plane explode.
