Title: Credit of a kill
Post by: ONTOS on July 16, 2014, 03:18:31 PM

I think if you shoot down a plane ( I mean the plane is going down) and you get killed before it crashed, you should get credit  for it. I mean the plane is destroyed even if you are killed also.

You do get credit for it. It's just that you're dead in oblivion so you don't know anything.

If I get credit, why is it not posted on my Fighter kill list under score ? :headscratch:

Because...... you dead bro  :banana:

Best thing to do is to shoot him down and not die.

Also disregard score. What difference does it make if you're brown anyhow?

Not in it's entirety, though the second sentence may be referencing my sig.

Think about your question. You're asking to be awarded a kill for an enemy who is still alive after you're dead.

Sorry, it's funny though, I do sometimes get kill messages after I am in the tower and long dedd. (wish granted- at least for my laggy text buffer) (Fixed)  Two things that are good to have in life are a thick skin and a good sense of humor.

I wonder if there were any instances in WWII where a pilot shot down another plane then had to crash or ditch because their plane was not fully functional enough to make it all the way home.  Either by battle damage or wear-and-tear.

Also if any pilots were awarded kills post mortem.  Getting killed themselves after earlier in the sortie downing a plane.

What was the protocol in WWII for this as far as awarding kills?

Slade,

I was about to make another thread, based on what I thought the title meant.  I will title this "eat what you kill".  This has more to do with the way kills are credited (and in no way a whine).  What I would like to discuss is that our cartoon pilots are much more daring and willing to stay inside badly damaged aircraft and even continue to fight long after, survival instinct would have caused most WW2 pilots to bail. 

Out of habit, I try and take as many opportunities at shooting the red guys without crazy gluing myself to his 6 until he finally succumbs to my firepower.  Instead, I try and keep whatever momentum that I have to the max and position myself for another attack, all the time looking around for other red guys.  Many times in the event that one of my damaged opponents receives another damaging blow from someone else, I am still credited with the kill even though I gave up the pursuit long ago.

There were. Several.

On one occasion an RAF pilot climbed back into his burning aircraft to shoot down a 110 that was attacking a squadron mate. And another was winchester and so rammed a Do17 to bring it down
