It is frankly ridiculous how often you can kill stolen in planes in this game by people, espically infuriating coming from small arms fire. So often some like FG-42 II or MG 42 or Browning or something takes a critically and completely f**ked enemy who I have shot to the point of death and they will crash/burn to death within the next 20 seconds and some small arms fire just steals it. When they steal it you only get an assist giving you 30 score instead of 350 score.
the suggestion is a simple but URGENTLY important.
Focus the kill credit to the player that critically damages them, instead of the last thing that touched them at all, it shouldn’t even be difficult for the devs.
OR
Add the severe damage mechanic from war thunder into this or similar fashion.
PLANE KILL STEALING WILL MAKE PEOPLE QUIT ENLISTED, MARK MY WORDS.
It’s not just the case with airplanes - same happens with tanks and APC’s aswell.
Currently, whoever shoots it last gets the biggest reward (XP and kill).
When it comes to the kill, I can accept it. But the XP should be distributed as a percentage - meaning whoever does the most damage gets the most XP
yeah it happens with APCs and tanks but less annoying because the reward is less, the assist system as a whole needs a rework, but that’d be a separate suggestion.
30 xp for critically dmging a tank to support your team or because kill steal or because you marked it and now someone targets it, also very annoying still I agree. But planes are the ones that really grinds my gears with kill stealing.
LOL right now it’s ‘calm’, just wait until there is another 20k event going on.
The difference is very noticable: during an event, every time when I shoot down an enemy plane, at least 2 or 3 traces of small gunfire from the ground are trying to hit the enemy plane while it’s cut in half and on fire spiralling to the ground.
Or even your teammate in a plane steals your kill.
Rather annoying when an event is going on.
The kill should go to who did the most damage, not who hit the enemy last.
Easy solution: dont stop shooting until you have the kill!
bad enough when it calm! But god I fear for that day.
Easy solution doesn’t work in a number of situations sadly…
