I just went online and logged into LWO. The first message I get in radio is "SYSTEM: You shot down Zionist #1".
According to expanded player vs player stats I was credited for a kill on his B-17 in a Hurrican IID... :noid
-
:noid
Well...free kill :D
-
Not a bug, more like..someone shot his bomber down, and the attacker probably got vaporised "by whatever means" and by the time the bomber pilot bailed from his now toasty b17, you just happend to show up on the scene, and you were granted the kill by proxy. "bnecause the attacker is out of range, or dead"
"shrugs" no biggy :)
I remember watching a formation of lancs flying too slow and low to make it over the mountian ranges, so he aparently crashed into the hillside fairly hard, anyhow i was 3.0k above him, looking over my wing..and i never fired a shot.
No one was in dar range, guess who got the kills?
:)
Gotta love it.

I did't show up the scene. Actually I wasn't even flying, being 1 second in tower after log on.

Did you get the "Join requests will be displayed in your message bar" text?
or do you have that disabled?

You were still "in the area" therefor you got the proxy kill.
People dont understand that when you are the tower, you are technecly still "in" a object, plane,gv,gun .ect
I would say your timeing was just dumb luck, but the kill is a proxy and is always awarded as such.
I also dont think proxy kills have any impact on your score, but i could be wrong on that one.
Well at any rate, enjoy the kill. :aok
But i dont think it something you or HT needs to loose sleep over, i wouldnt.
-
I pretty much understand what a proxy kill is. Fact is, I never before got a proxy while being in tower.
Nor does that explains why I got this kill in a Hurricane IID.
BTW, proxy kills do affect score.
-
You kill stealer you...:huh
-
That is very strange...:noid

Wait, did you get the kill while IN the tower or in a plane?
or was the guy in a Hurricane? :huh
-
In the tower.

Let me reprise:
HE was flying a B17
I was allegedly flying a Hurricane IID
But actually I didn't fly at all.

I'm on dialup and when the game begins to fill in the roster and radar dots(slowly) it seems as if everyone starts in the middle of the map and shifts to where they really are.
Wild theory but this may be where you crossed paths. As for the HurriD, was it the last plane you flew in that arena on you previous visit?

Hmmm... I DID fly a D last night, though I can't remember if it was the last plane.
-
My squaddy was killed by an enemy plane. Right when he died, it said "my squaddy has landed 3 kills"... wierd

Yes...you might have killed something...but not have gotten the kill yet...and logged too quickly for it to register.

Now that is defenitely a no. The only Hurri D sortie I did fly was strictly anti-gv (they tried to sneak a base) with no enemy planes around at all.
-
I know its not quite the same situation, but I can remember attacking a PT boat one time. He killed me, but as soon I was in the tower (the carrier tower). which was only a few seconds after dieing, I got a kill on him.
And my logic is he either exploded that few seconds after I hit the tower, or some poor sap killed him giving me the kill for being closer, or in range or any of the variables that make up proxie kills.

Just a thought :D
-
2 thoughts...
1) How many perk points were you awarded
2) PERK THE CONTROL TOWER!
;)

have had it happen a couple times....Just logging in...sitting in the tower looking at the map.....A plane comes in over the field and gets vaporized by ack. Kill awarded

Have you ever heard of the 10,10 sector radar bug? These two bugs are probably caused by the same thing. Go into your Settings and find an option slider called Move Time (if it still exists). The more the slider was adjusted, the slower you moved as a person. Meaning, if you set it slowest and clicked a new base, you were literally walking there as if in a chute.
The same thing still occurs, but because our move times are set the way they are, we move faster than the video card or our eyes can catch it. When you first log in, you're in 10,10,5,5,5,5 ect and actually "run at light speed" to the lowest numbered friendly airfield. No, I'm not kidding.
This position is also somehow related to the F5 view. You'll notice if you suddenly die and your computer has a split-second of thinking time, your view will suddenly be in that 10,10,5,5,5, ect location until you hit the tower. If you press F5 and are looking around said tower, then go fly and suddenly die again, that little bit of thinking time will display you where your last F5 head position was until it gets you into the appropriate tower.
