Title: Manuver kills is something wrong with them?
Post by: Maniac on August 10, 2000, 07:31:00 AM: Hi.

Why do i have to ping someone first to get the manuver kill?

If am on the defensive and do for an example an low split-s, and my attacker is to fast to follow and hits the ground, why dont i get credited for this?

Regards

Then a 4th dives in on me and I dinnae pay enough attention to the ground, I see him at 1.7k lookup out the top of the canopy and then I'm in tower, and he's given an MK on me.

Then I've got kills from planes 1.5-2k away.

Last night, I got 3 manuever kills by 2 109's and another fighter that tried to dive on me and augered into the ground behind me.

Other nights, same thing, no kill.

I haven't had many unfair maneuver kills given or taken. Doesn't seem like a huge problem to me.

Post by: bloom25 on August 25, 2000, 02:09:00 AM: I have a film where I get 2 manuver kills in a row on N1ks that dove on my low p47. Unfortunately for them I was 10 inches above the ground with a hill in front of me. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I didn't ping either one of them.

I think the difference is if they shot at you or not.

Post by: StSanta on August 25, 2000, 06:11:00 AM: Skippy, probably true. But I have only gotten deserved maneuver kills in fighters.

In m16's, it's a different matter.

Post by: Maniac on September 07, 2000, 04:43:00 AM: After further evaluation the manuver kills are really porked.

I had enemys hit the ground 2-3 feet from me and no kill avarded. Same goes vice verca when i crash REALLY close to an enemy he dont get credit for killing me.

Regards.
