Title: Deaths in gun placements
Post by: Krusty on January 14, 2006, 01:16:30 AM: Please kill people that man guns, don't pop them to the tower with "you landed xxx kills", but award them NO kill message and give the de facto kill to the person that popped their gun.

It's like an ostwind sitting on the runway. Either they exit before they die or they don't get the kill message.

If a pilot kills a soft gun with nobody in it, no kill, just a "gun destroyed" message.

I can see the reasoning for Big guns. But for the manned ack? How is it different than an Osti? Your chances of hitting anything are the same and the manned ack dies easy.

Always seemed odd to me.
