<patched in from a previous thread>
It was explained to me once that the scoring system attempts to interpet the results of the action and the system awards 'shotdown by" credit based soley on who 'suffers pilot death' or 'bails' first.
This is good.. to a point. Consider this all too common scenario:
The pilot is still alive; having destroyed an aircraft but from this action got busted up in return, being forced to bail from a severly hurt AC. The pilot bails and while hangin in his chute; realizes he's still quite alive with with the worst yet to come being either a long walk or crummy food to eat for the next year or so.
While he's watchin the enemy buff or fighter; flaming, trailing littles pieces and parts all raining down to the ground he considers how hard he worked to kill it.
Still and all.. he worked that one to a draw anyway and he can consider himself lucky. In the bigger picture; the C47 or buff or pal he's covering is still on his way... he lost his ride; but he's done his bit and is still alive.
He watches the other guy fall and .. and no chute. The other dude; equally without a ride and dead as as moses to boot got the kill!
Now; in 'real life'; even tho you were shot outta your ride; if yah sent the other guy to the showers while you lived ta tell of the bloody buisness yah got credit right?
Further.. assume both pilots bailed and lived. The firsd guy to bail gets "shotdown" now.. odd isn't it? ... seems to me each should get 'shotdown by' system tallys for the other.
Scoring issue? Yah, I think so. What do you guys think.. I mean is this outta line????
