The kill is awarded to the player who does the most damage (prior to the plane being deemed not flyable) and is still alive.

..and maybe we need to also add is within 3000 yards of the death/crash?

i personally like the idea.

if i get in a fight with someone and blow off half his wing and let him go, and then he crashes on the way home i should get a kill.
if i blow off half his wing and let him go and someone else picks him up after im no longer actively trying to kill him the kill should be theirs.

3k seems like a good distance to me.

If if someone is fighting 2 or 3 and takes half a wing off a guy they are not going to follow him home to finish him off as Im sure the others guys are going to try and continue to shoot the single player down. How is that fair?  Granted, these days fighting more than one at a time doesnt happen that often, but your penalizing a player who should get the credit and like Violator, the "scored" kill is important to them.

you then just have to keep your furball within 3k of him. or risk letting someone else get the kill.

in that scenario you can pick up a kill or two from the other guys your fighting, and you missed out on one because you didnt get the job done.

The game used to be set up some what like that years ago. You'd have a guy do critical damage to another guy and all these other players would follow them down pumping rounds into him to steal the kill. I think it works well as it is now. Adding the plane ID to the kill message would solve the problem of "knowing" which guy , in which plane got the killing shot.

i just like spitballing ideas.
excellent counter points by the way.

... this had tickled a memory for me... I thought there is an admin range setting for this... and that you had to be within a certain range to score a kill.  Now it seems in the MA that the pilot just has to be alive (as Hitech said) and he'll score the kill. I'll check tonight when I get home to see what it's set to.

:salute

It might be a bit of a wordy message but I suppose there could be:

"Your plane was shot down due to XXX damage (most) from a P-51 flown by ______, XXX damage from an F4U-1A flown by ______, XXX damage from a P-38G flown by ______, XXX damage from a B-17 gunned by ______ and XXX damage (least) from a Jeep gunned by ______."

Or .... it could stay simple and just be the abridged version. Perhaps a preference toggle in flight options?

Just give a perk point for every 10 rounds (or x amount of weight damage) you put in someone and leave the the fame to mystery. Saluting the enema is passe'. ;)

honestly that would be awesome, even if it wasnt a regular toast and had to be checked after the flight from the clipboard.

maybe a regular short version in the message window and access to the rest of the info from the clipboard.

Kills should go to the last player who put the final bullet in the plane

It used to be that way and kill stealing was really annoying. The system we have now is the best yet of multiplayer dogfight gaming imo. My one gripe is that it only rewards the player who made the goal and not the rest of the team that got the ball down the field. In other words the 202 what tackled the guy and wrestled him to the ground should get some of them perks  :furious
