 I was on a 205,s 6. he,s diveing into the ack. I blow his plane apart. 'bout that time the ack hits me and he gets the kill.

 Maby the reason  the other, big three, flight sims do it the same way. Is because it works.

Yeah ack kills should not go to a player.  That's ridiculous and it rewards ack running.

I've read some stories about ack running in real life.  Usually the ack shot down both planes!

Not defending what HTC decides, but, I remember in early beta that the intent of strong ack was to promote furballs, in the air, above or away from fields.

Makes sense.  Now with the onset of closing fields...  Where when the field is dead it's d-e-a-d, as in no planes, tanks, kites are available there to take off/drive in...
Well, it'll get better. <pops another valium>
