Title: credit where credit is due
Post by: Citabria on November 04, 2001, 03:42:00 AM
credit should be given to the ack weenies for the kills they make. not to other players nearby.

Let's be honest, Cit. Many of the kills you acquired on me came from you running into ack (followed by you telling me how stupid I was, how I did it wrong, etc.). You were right about me chasing you into ack was stupid, but you gladly accepted the kills as a victory anyway.

You can't have your cake and eat it, you know.  :rolleyes:

I agree, if you get killed by the AAA, the credit should not go to the ack hugger.

I have no problem if the guy is defensive an he's using the ack defensively, but to give him any kills earned by the robo gunners is ridiculous.

No way. Ack WEenies would be nš1 Kill stealers with their 1-ping-fatal-damage laser weapons.

All this concern about the ack weenies is amusing. You guys seem to think the ack is the deadliest killer in the game. I think you are all wrong. There is one other killer that surpasses the ack and has an absolutely perfect K/D ratio. (for those who care about such things) The best killer in the game is none other than.... the surface of the virtual earth. It NEVER loses a collision and never takes damage.    :rolleyes:   :p

Agree with Cit on this, one thing i like about WBs was Ack Weenies got the kill.....

But should be dependant on who did more damage. If someone filled a plane full o holes and did more damage than the Ack, The pilot would get the kill.


Dog out...........

I am on both sides of this one...
I get a lot of free kills, and I give a lot of guys kills while stripping ack.  
I do a lot of jabo/de-ack sorties and usually die before I finish the job.  I have never had a problem with the enemy plane/pilot getting credit for an ack kill on me.  His presence often pressures me to de-ack quicker and to take bigger risks.  Just because he didn't get a hit on me doesn't mean that he didn't play a big part in getting me killed.  Besides, I don't think that the current system gives you perk or score points for maneuver or ack/freebie kills.

Either way, no way should the ack get credit if it did more damage.  Even if you blew a guys wing off as he entered ack range I think the ack would often still end up doing more damage and end up stealing the kill.

I like the current system even though my score would probably benefit from the suggested change.

No way! I one ping someone on a suicide run, chase them from 18k to ground zero and watch the ack steal it?

Okay, give it to the weenies if the guy ain't hit already, otherwise...

i am with voss. i think ack weenies should get thekill ONLY if there hasnt been a single ping by a player on him.

there should be no "assist"to an ack weenie, but by the same token if ack was teh sole cause of an airplane being killed (ie no player lead in your plane) then i think ack weenie should get kill.

I remember in WB guys that would jump into big packs of bad guys, kill as many as they could, then run into the nearest enemy ack to die (since there was no hope of escape) for the sole purpose of denying anyone the pleasure of killing them. Some of the guys playing here now know what I mean.  ;)

Look, you die, why do you care who gets credit anyway?

I think when you die from the ack weenies and you are not dropping bombs it should read:


System:  Drex is a vulcher

Not sure I like that, due to the ack weenies stealing kills.  

ex.  removing the horizontal stabs/elevators.  This almost certainly means the plane is lost, however anyone (or ack if it could) can put more lead in the plane and snake the kill.

So...  make it so that when the plane is rendered unflyable, no more damage is counted for kill credit.  Then ack weenies can get their kills and yet not snake the kills from a plane that's missing a wing or something.

My thoughts exactly!

For the same reason I will never bail out of a C-47 when being chased.  He hunted me down, he deserves the kill.  What do I care if he gets credit for the kill? Not that I won't try and make him auger or collide.
