If someone is manning a fixed gun emplacement (ground or ship gun battery), and you destroy it by bomb or strafing, do you get a kill credit?.....
-
No.
You get points for the damage you do but no kills.
-
What Blooz said! :aok
-
Yes, that is true.
But you SHOULD get a kill, and they SHOULD get a death.

then people in guns should get perks and score for kills too...
gotta be a two way street :)

That makes sense to me....

People manning gun positions (say in ships) do get a kill credit for shooting down planes....

Yes we do.
Same as if you shoot down a plane (or destroy a ground vehicle).
They just don't count for score/rank purposes.

yea all we get is our stupid names in lights.. no score, no perks.
i think its a fair tradeoff as is.. gunners get names in lights, planes get damage points for their score.
-
Soft gun kills should count as a kill for the plane/tank that kills them for sure. Specially in a plane, we are taking a risk in getting shot down trying to take out a maned gun just as we are in engaging an enemy plane.

:x :x :x perfect solution to super ack CV monkeys!!! dont allow people to man the 5" guns until they have a certain number of credits for the 40mm and 50cals on the ships! same with the SBs. dont allow SBs to be used unless people have a certain amount of manned gun kills :aok

best way to earn GV perks is to capture a field for the lowest numbered team, i'm talking 10-20 perks for a base cap or more.
Think High ENY rides, low number team. I think the best GV run I dream't up was a jeep + supplies to an enemy airfield (all ack down of course) and popped some LA7's spawning in on the runway, base got taken landed 5 kills in a jeep = 60 perks :D

OR... resupply a base that is severely damaged. A base that has major damage can award 6+ perks each trip. Each OBJ repaired gets .25 points, mind you that a "repair" point does not mean that it has to have been fully repaired either, you get the .25 GV perk points regardless. So... if a base gets swarmed and 4 ord bunkers, 4 fuel depots, 3 barracks, the radar, and 6 auto ack all get blowd' up, a single run in with an C47, M3, SdKfz 251, or LVT2 with field supplies will award 4.5 perks (if the ENY modifier is 1.0).
Easy peasy. :)

I remember a guy some time ago that camped a runway in an M3. He landed 13 kills and i believe he said he got 124 perks lol

As someone already mentioned, run some base resupply missions or capture a base. Those are the easiest ways to get perks.
As to the Tiger you probably won't want to use it as an offensive, but rather a defensive weapon you're first time out. If you lose it you lose the perks so you'll want to be in a position to get it home safely, or at least 6000 yards from the nearest enemy player before you end sortie.
They make great base defenders.

Best way to earn GV perks asside from getting base captures (which are difficult at best) is to drive the T-34/76 or M4A3(75). Stay out of sight, attack people who are already engaged and are unlikely to notice an extra shell or two.

30/5=6, 6*13=78. He'd have to be the only person in the country to have a multiplier that high.

i got once 20 something perks in m3 for killing p38 and a spitfire. i pw both of them by chance they were not even shooting at me, they were just flying by being chased by friendlies. that also included dropping supplies at the base.

Nah, if the bonus multiplier was 1.59 and he killed 13 eny 5 rides, it would equal 124.
-
I haven't seen a multiplier that high in a long time. Though I stick to LWO.

Multipliers as high as 2.0 aren't all that uncommon, even in orange.
-
I must not be on the right side. :)
-
Highest multiplyer I've seen was a 1.83, and I got 35 perks for 5 kills in a P-40E

Don't bother with the Tiger! If anything use the Firefly! :)

Unless you can find yourself a nice hill to sit on 3k+ yards to the rear of the fight. :D

OOZ, even then he'll never make a kill untill he aims better.
