I was flying a tempest yesterday and ran into another player who was also flying a tempest. I chased after them, and followed them for quite some time. I turned away when I get low on fuel and the player turned back at me. I was able to get a shot off and take off their wing. However, the plane, with no wing, then simply hung in mid air and then disappeared, and no kill was awarded. I landed and logged out to do some stuff around the house, then logged on again about hour or so later. I saw my score tab and noticed that I was finally awarded a kill for the player, but my score and k/d hadn't changed, and the player that I shot down didn't have me listed as a killer.
I got cureous and checked the ah stats page, and it showed me as a killer there. So it appears the player disco after I shot them, but before their plane hit the ground. Are kill points not awarded in this case?
Is this some kind of bug? Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in.
