Hello,
Could we please get credit for a kill when we destroy a manned 88 from a plane?
Thank you,
X15 :salute

Better yet, mute anyone in a manned gun!

Or make a 200 announcement like "Player XYZ just got shot down, is salty, and his wiping his tears in the 88mm at base 123"

+1

Do 88's have scopes or something?
Sure I can avoid them by just not going within 2k of a base but come on. This is nuts.

No.... but just like pilots, they have incredible amounts of practice under their belts.

I respect your point. :salute
It would be a great equalizer if we would get credit for a kill when we destroy a manned 88 from a plane.
It is peculiar 88 gunners get credit for killing a plane but not vice-versa. :headscratch:
-
+1 Same for the CV group gunners. If a BB or Cruiser is lobbing shells at my base and I take out the gunner with a rocket or bomb, I should get the kill credit.

The simple answer is.... they can't move. It is a simple task to kill a 88 and/or to stay away from him if you want to. He can't chase you. If you decide to get greedy and you are not very careful.... boom. I have been the boom on occasion too. LOL it happens.

It's not so easy to avoid them when you engaged with another aircraft.

It's actually easy to track aircraft further away, all my 88 kills except for one are 3k and out. Best thing to do is take rockets and kill the 88's from as far as you can first. I get near a V base or small airfield those are usually the first target.

Forethought when you engage...... you were too close to the base, or you drove him too close to the base. When you are in the vicinity of a base, you must assume someone is in a gun. Just as if you are close to a VH spawn, there may be wirbs.

That is good advice and I, like most of you, do that. :aok
Wirbs and standard ACK can be effectively avoided. 88's range and accuracy are a significantly greater threat.
I think asking to get a kill credit for killing a manned 88 is a very modest request in this context.
Thank you.

I am killed so quickly by 88s no matter the technique I use or maneuvers or range. Some of these guys are sharp shooters in their 88s. Get me on their 1st or 2nd salvo. Just amazing.
We should get a kill if we every get a shot at them. :salute

I would like to see the kill credit just so I could know who was in that gun, especially if he is really good at it.

Good point. :salute
They get a kill for killing us. Why not the other way around. :pray

look at the text it will say this player got x kill in a manned gun.

I want to have 88 kills on the side of my plane too! :rock OK maybe that is too far. :rofl
Just getting credit for a manned gun kill as a kill would be great.
Thanks! :salute
