It might just be me and if so then this is just to get it off my chest. In the game I have noticed that if you auger, crash, or run into the random tree and anyone is in proximity to you they get credited for the kill. I have been in the process of taking off from an airfield and have received the message that I shot someone down. Why am I getting credit for a kill when I'm worried about keeping my plane on the runway. Now if you have seen my score you would say I would take what ever charity is thrown my way. WRONG! It just irks me when I have received no damage and in some cases not even engaged with another aircraft yet they get credit for shooting me down. My feeling on the subject is that if you don't put rounds on him then you should not get credit for a kill. If you kill yourself then you kill yourself.
Perplexed.

How would you like it if you were about to kill a guy, so he bails instead and you receive no credit. That's essentially what you are asking for.

If I understand correctly..... they only count as kill and no score. The guy could have been diving on you and failed to pull out or hit something... in which case you could still be why he died. :D

They are regular kills for score purposes, affecting K/D K/H K/S like any other kill. The sole difference for score purpose is they give you just 1 single score point (as scorepoints are defined as damage points inflicted + 1 point for the kill)
The main difference to other kills: You don't get any perks for proxies.

Yes. The love you take is equal to the love, you make.

Above is the precise reason we have proxies.

Agreed. The other reasoning being, if you are able to really out-fly someone and they stall into a tree or fly into a mountain, you still deserve the kill. You forced them into a position where they lost control of their aircraft, so you took them out of the fight without need for your guns.
Either that or you just scratched a 3 weeker who recently took off stall limiter. :rock
-
Don't complain! I need those proxies to make my score good! :aok
-
I like proxies...I will even do my best to make them happen....I have bad aim so without them i'd have hardly any kills
-
I wonder how much the OP would have complained if proxies were renamed 'manuever' kills instead. Bet he didn't complain about those in WB too much even though they're essentially the same thing just with a different name.
ack-ack

nothing makes me laugh in this game than getting 3 kills from gang tards as they auger trying to steal the kill from each other. :joystick:

Only time I get nervous about proxies...........
Are the ones I don't see happening........ Makes me nervous.

I get a kick out of "you shot down LLogan again" when I didn't even know he was around :neener:
-
Proxies are great had 2 high spit 16s dive and attempt to pick me, I pulled straight up at the last second they pulled up hard and ripped their wings off. It was very funny especially cause one of them was a known spit flyer whos name rhymes with draggon.... :x

You could look at it this way you have been dog fighting with an enemy for a while but unable to get guns on each other & you pull a great move he can't match & crashes? You out flew him he crashed I would say you should get the kill.

i guess this matters the most if all you want is to see your name on the marque

You got me. Lets get rid of proxy's.

I always thought proxies were given within icon range, but it seems to be less than 4k :headscratch:

It's governed by the arena setup variable "ManuverKillRange" which is set to 6000ft by default.

Obviously.........someone does not understand the dynamics of the "butterfly effect" as it relates to online gaming.....

or if he augers as a result of trying to evade you - or trying to attack you (classic compression overshoot scenario).
I say no.

Actually, I think it's 2k

Dimebag got a proxie yesterday as I augered my 262 after trying to take out an ammo bunker. :uhoh

I like this idea so well I'm tempted to set up a shade account that does nothing but this. That way, when someone asks about my superlative resultant record, I can tell 'em that's it's proof positive of my superior acm skills.

That's how you're supposed to react. You pass.

While the OP hasn't thought his request through very well, there is one instance where I would like to see proxy kills be disabled - and that is to a field gunner.
This is solely because it makes it really really hard to figure out whether you are actually hitting the attacking aircraft or not - and besides, the logic of "out flying" the pilot you get the proxy kill on doesn't apply to a field gunner.

The string variable name just shows that it's the same thing as the maneuver kills in WB, just with the range setting set further than it was in WB. As I asked in my previous post, I wonder how many would squeak about proxies if the name was changed to Maneuver Kills instead?
