Title: 20mm tank kills
Post by: 1Cane on November 05, 2011, 07:51:51 PM
After dropping bombs on gvs ,I have strafed enemy tanks to mark for friendlies. I have received kills for this so instead of landing 2kills I have gotten 4or 5 while flying Typhoon :banana:

This used to be standard practice of people who only cared about name in lights and rank. If you hit a tank with hundreds of .50cal, you won't kill it but will rack up damage points. Then the guy on the ground who delivered the killshot with his tank only gets assist because you inflicted more damage points before he did.

Thought this was fixed...I guess not.

Cane, maybe you should try investing some time in ACM, or your GV'ing skills.

Killing aircraft yeilds more perks than bombing GV's, and if you practiced your GV'ing, you might be able to get your KTD in the panther up above 1:1.

Just saying, 1 kill and 2 deaths in a panther is pretty pathetic.

Nope, taking a break from Aces High. Not enough cash, not enough time to make the money worthwhile if I took it out of my car fund. Rarely have more than 10mins to spend without having to go do something else, so not much time for sorties.

I'm only on for about 10-15 mins at a time before I have to go. Yesterday I myself was only online for about 45 mins total, and constantly having to make food, do homework, feed the dog, or take my little brother to Basketball practice.  Being AFK about 50% of the time is hardly conductive to a succesfull sortie.

I have it set to "stay logged in". I think that whenever someone is on the computer, it says that I'm online, but not sure on that.

No, but its not like I can do a fighter sortie while having to go AFK every 5-10 mins for various chores inbetween those known interuptions.
