Nope.  When diving into a fight like that, it's best to go for the trailing bandit first instead of the one he's after.  This way you increase the likelihood of getting credit for both kills instead of a kill and possible assist.

In this case the old adage applies: An enemy of your enemy is just another target.  ;)

YES! It is a well known rule that I ALWAYS have first dibs on all kills in these things. Due to my hit % All other cartoon pilots MUST stand by until I expend ALL of my ammo for my 1 or 2 kills then the free for my begin.

I'm serious! it's in the TOS nobody reads!  :noid

It is impossible to steal a kill, even from your own countrymen.  I'll pay next month's dues for anybody that can prove that a kill was stolen from them.  Just do a screen print that says something along the lines "you killed so and so but the guy that was next to you stole it".  :D

kill stealing means to shoot at a con who is allready close to death

example 1: ones hanging at someones six, shoot him the tail off, and anotherone spend enough 20 mm to get the kill for 100%
example 2: you shoot a bombers engine into fire, everyone knows it will be a questions of some seconds, but another pilots dives in and spend as much ammo on the buff as he can
both are classical kill steals!

You can steal a kill from your own countrymen, let one of your friends be on enmy's 6 ready to shoot, when he starts to shoot make sure your fast enough and fly in front of him so he kill shoots himself. Then shoot down the enmy.

Kill stealing is watching a countryman fight a bogey from 8 - 10k down to the deck, then slipping in at the last minute shredding the bogey and getting the kill.

It is a low down, dirty despicable habit practiced mostly by horde pilots who can't get one of their own.

No, diving, whether into a fight or elsewhere, is merely a maneuver.

BTW, next time you go to an "all you can eat" restaurant, I recommend you eat, then go back for seconds, pile your plate high, and spit on the food and leave.

If the manager stops you with some smack about, "hey buddy, it says all you can eat, not all you can waste", respond with,  "it says all I can eat, not all I did eat."

He'll back off in deference to your obvious rhetorical skills.

That reminds me of one of my more memorable fights, months and months ago I was up around 8-10k in a 38J and I mixed it up with LippyCH who was flying a KI-84.  We went round and round for a good long while until we were bounced by a higher 109, w/out any communication between us our fight stopped and we shot down the 109, put a few thousand yards between us and dove back in and resumed our fight. 

What I like about this particular memory is that's the part I still remember, I don't even recall who finally won.  :)

As it concerns kill stealing, I shall quote a legendary master regarding the despicable practice:

WOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_ZupkuVuYo)

That is all.

No.  It is not stealing a kill because they are both your enemy.  Perhaps, if it were a friendly who had a clear shot that you interfered with, then it could be called a steal.  But in my book a steal is still a win for the team.  So its all good.
