:mad:
I've had it with this poor excuse for skill.
If you see a enemy going down with both engines dead and the tail missing YOU DON'T FREAKING NEED TO PUT ALL YOUR AMMO INTO HIM. He's dead. He's going down. Is your freaking score THAT important to you that you need to steal other people's kills?
I'm mad because I can understand it in the middle of a furball. But when there are only two of you attacking a target and the target has been dispatched, it is VERY disappointing to see the guy that just watched you nail the con FOLLOWING THE wreckage down and filling it with enough holes to steal the kill.
Please insert your witty, you must be a score potato too, response here:___________

What do you expect with 30 ack huggers chasing one con.
-
right, just enough ammo to make the remaining fuselage components explode is about all it takes.

I can't seem to get my reply into your post.

This one (http://www.dbstaines.com/images/MINIDKS2.zip) is from tonight. It's not bad, but not great.
This one (http://www.dbstaines.com/images/MINIDKS.ahf) is great.

Ooooo... and this one (http://www.dbstaines.com/images/MINIDKS3.zip) is where I dupe a squadie into getting a perk plane to "help" me protect the HQ... and steal the kill from him after he successfully de-wings the B-17. You think getting credit for that kill was easy?

I hope your not a Rook Mini D. Why does it come as no surprise that Mini D is a skilless dweeb?
Edit: How shameless! You should be banned for doing that!

If you see someone trying to steal your kill and he does it repeatidly, do what I do and give him a warning followed by 10-20 check 6 calls if he continues chasing burning wrecks
-
And that will get you banned nilsen.
Palef you do have a point. I do not like when an enemy plane is wingless, tailess, or on fire and someone dives down to spray into an already dead target. I dont get so upset about it as you seem to be, but I will say i dont like it.
The thing that bothers me about "kill stealing" in the above mentioned examples is that the enemy plane is no longer a threat, cannot effectively shoot at anyone, and sure as heck isnt going to rtb or even ditch.
However, If a plane is smoking or leaking fluid, missing control surfaces, is dead-stick, or even missing a wingtip, I say he or she is fair game for anyone. Just because you are saddled up on the enemy's 6 doesnt give you exclusive rights to the kill.

If you're not willing to finish the guy off, then don't start crying when someone else does. It ain't dead until it explodes.

PS...You're all welcome to ping the hell out of any flaming wreckages falling from the sky by my guns. But if they bail, the chute's mine!

Will do Jordi, will do.

Palef - I've done it occasionally. The dots/icons are hard for longsighted(farsighted) people to deal with, and only when getting to 300 yards do I notice that the guy I was firing at from 400 had only one wing. Last time, an LA7 had been popping a friendly buff, dlord. When I realised I'd stolen dlord's kill, I apologised - and dlord replied "np". But I try not to make a habit of it.
-
Ah... "Killstealer!"... the battle cry of the guy that can't manage more than 2 pings on any plane. It's pretty easy to call the "killstealer!" skilless... especially since it was the accuser that failed to do enough damage to get the kill.
People are flying around in hordes so much these days that they forget excactly what "skilled" means.

Woohoo!!!
I am honoured! :)
I've been flying the Yak9U as my main ride.
Guess I kind of lost it after the umpteeth kill got shot up several 1000ft below.
You all have valid points from the "crybaby" replies, to the supportive ones.
Nopoop- I'll try harder next time. Could you drop me a line and let me know what I need to do to get into the 9s?

I have a unique emotional response toward kill stealers…
I get over it.

It's real easy... next time someone steals your ice cream, don't sit there stamping your foot and crying until your mom comes by and changes your diapers.

I love it when they dive on your kill and midair the wreckage like happened tonight. Right after that I discovered that if you get too close to an enemies six and shoot with cannon rounds you can shoot yourself. So now I am wondering what the magic range is. :confused:
-
I believe that it is every players duty to ensure that all 'crippled' planes are in fact dead. More than once I've 'played dead' only to go back and get a few more kills. It works especially well if you lose a wingtip, and can recover from it.

uh, you can't shoot yourself
you can run into wreckage or you can killshoot yourself to death if a team mate pops in front of you but your bullets don't bounce back and hit ur plane :)
-
Well your wrong. I fired from a steady 5ft with hispanos and for every hit sprite I put into my target I took a hit. Nothing else could have shot me. The same thing has been reported by my squadmates.
-
Cannons have explosive rounds. The explosives can damage you if you are close enough. That is why you can kill somebody with cannonfire while vulching when you missed and only hit the runway. The other night I killed a P-38L and an N1K2-J by doing a sort of S shaped hit pattern on the runway between them with my Mossie's cannons. Of course I meant to hit them directly, but at low speed the Mossie has poor lateral stability.
You can test this quite easily offline on the target drones. Get real close with a cannon armed aircraft and hit the drone. Back to the tower you go.
-
Or taxi up a 30mm equipped Bf109G close to a hangar, open fire and youll find out real good. :)
-
You can't shoot yourself...period. Something else was going on that you either failed to see or understand.

Yes you can take a 109 and taxi up to a hangar, fire the 30mm and youll kill yourself.

Kill stealing happens. Sometimes on purpose. Sometimes it is an accident.
If I ever kill steal, it is usually an accident unless at least one of the following conditions apply:
1. You have stolen a kill from me
2. You are an asinine tard on country channel
3. You whine about kill stealing on channel 1, 2, 3 (or any channel i happen to be tuned to) or the bbs
4. You are in my squad

yes it can when the plane blows up /falls apart right infront of ya and your right on them ... the plane slows and you collide with it also the lag/ latencey can take effect also . its also know as a mid air collision .... get over it it happens...
ps i want those 4000 kills back ive had stolen .... :D

That's the blast radius from an HE round. You'd get the same thing shooting any HE round.
You aren't shooting yourself... you're shooting a building. Last I saw, there weren't alot of buildings floating around that randomely popped in front of you.
If you're "shooting yourself" while flying, it's most likely that another friendly plane was going after the same target and your aircraft is overlapping enough for k/s to take effect, but not so you'd visually notice it.

You can damage your own aircraft with your own rounds. It's happenend to me a few times. Making strafing runs on armor and I forget not to pull the both fire button and my mini gun rounds hit me. Last night I took out my own radiator doing that.

Few enjoy having their kills stolen but you only encourage this sort of activity by *****ing about it.
