Anyone else shooting people down and not getting the kill or an assist ? Happened twice in one sortie today. Anyone have any ideas ?
-
see if somebody else hit your target first..make sure your target is dead and not just wounded-so he can ditch :joystick:
-
no ditch spiral into the dirt one time...next time blew apart...no kill no assist.
-
I don`t think you get anything for shooting a target *already critically damaged*. So if you unknowingly put bullets into a guy down a vert stab, for instance, that could explain it.

I've had kills not credited before just as your talking about. I've also had kills start popping up in the text buffer when I'm re-arming, 10 minutes after the actual killing occurred! :lol

ok here is some film

Watched it. Yeah you take that guys tail clean off and he hits the ground, he looks all systems normal before that.

Yeah a few other things make me suspicious. Very least an assist. Not even close to first time. I love how people try to give a million excuses about how OP's perception is flawed.

Chalk it up to lag?
I once shot JoeBlack down and didn't get the kill message in the buffer until the following week...
;)

Well my reply would not add to the discussion either ,so I edited. Not even close to the first time. I know if I am seeing others are to.

Looks like a clean kill. That's the only film I've seen that looks like that or is that definitive. I'd send that one in
-
This happened to me today. I killed a storch, but didn't get an assist or kill.
-
Have this on a regular basis.
Regarding assists, if you are in a furball and the bandit you shoot at has been pinged by several others, there is a limited amount of assist slots. If these are full you won't get a credit. Dunno exactly how many slots there are for assists.
Next to not receiving victory messages I also enjoy rubber bullets a lot. Shot 2 taters into a KI84 the other day. I have no tracers so the explosions I saw must have been hits. But the KI landed just fine without visible damage. :furious
I know it's a tough bird but 2 splashes on top of engine and cockpit? :noid
The interweb is ghastly since the US is having weather issues ........
-
For the last few days, I thought the same thing. I thought it was just one of those things as other posters have noted but they were getting difficult to explain away.
Also of late a higher number of planes disappearing then popping back up again a good ways away. Not the usual warping.
All this together sure seems to be at the same time of the wide spread bad weather. My guess is it is not a bug, just ever changing internet conditions for the worse.

Aliens
Definitely aliens.

Yes,No.

I've also noticed that the .enablecloakingdevice command now only works when I'm flying inside a cloud.
Definitly Aliens.
-
Hlbly, I've noticed this too! The only time it really happeneds to me is when I shoot someone who is already being shot at. Like if a friendly and I are racing to get the kill and he drills them bably first then I put some shots into them, I'll notice I won't receive a kill or assist. It is very strange sometimes.
-
Lost packets my guess, the net is messed up big time, I have had more disco's in the last 2weeks of playing than I have had in the last 2 years of playing. Download the ping plotter and watch it for a wile, might help explain some of the issues.

Hlbly,I flew in the mains last night,ya I dont do it often but I noticed a couple strange things. A D9 was about 200 yds infront,then it was 1.5 K below and infront of me,at first I thought he discoed or ctd but that wasnt the case.
Also after a certain critical amount of damage you cant get an assist,this was implemented way back to stop kill stealing as after a certain damage threshold any hits simply dont count.
Maybe by april or may the internet will get straightened out in the USA!
:salute

I took apart a P-51 with a Yak the other day, I mean just demolished him, and someone else got the kill. Dont see how that could have happened even if he had sprayed him before because I just disintegrated the 51. But compared to other games this damage model has always seemed pretty fair.
-
I wonder if it is linked to the kill bug. I was porkin some ords and a field gun got me then I exploded but got the landed successfully message. :headscratch:
-
Same person two times one sortie really the net is doing it ?

Since I'm at work, I can't view the film but if you were to click on the plane (in the right menu showing the pilot/plane/range) that you shot at, it will jump you to that plane and you can see from his perspective. Hop to his plane before you engaged him to see if anyone else might have scored hits on him before you.
ack-ack

Its a very short clip, like 20 seconds. Con in question is never engaged by anyone in the film other then hlbly.
-
A Pilot wound might figure in here. You might blow up his plane but the pilot wounder would get the kill I would guess.

Watched the whole film ack. From his perspective. He was undamaged. In first engagement I watched him lift from his field. no one else but I engaged him. Same result.
