Recalculate the vehicle kill/assist

Suggestions

So, I’m on an AA gun, shot the plane’s wing apart, he started spinning to the ground then someone scratched the aircraft with rifle/lmg and I got 30 score for assist kill.

Same case when someone just threw an explosive pack or TNT charge and got the kill but the one who contributed the most damage in disabling the tank got only assist kill.

I’d like to pick an example from Heroes & Generals, where players get score/exp from damaging to the parts of vehicles, each specific parts give a different amount of exp depending on how important it is. Who damaged the vehicles the most, got the most exp from that action.

It doesn’t like devs have to copy this mechanic from HnG, but anything that’s better and than steal kill of what Enlisted have right now. The current vehicle assist kill calculation feels so unfair.

It is unfair shot down 2 aircraft all were stolen by A hole using stg to hit it once

That’s my suggestion on how it could work:
They could make it so that kill is awarded for the player that was last to cause either major or critical damage.
For planes, major damage would be every damage that doesn’t cause immediate crash, i.e.
destroying the engine so it doesn’t produce enough power (or stops working) or putting enough holes into the wings so they don’t produce enough lift.
Critical damage would be any damage that sends the aeroplane onto an express ride into the ground, i.e. snapped wings and tails.
For tanks, critical damage already grants the kill, as it is either crew wipe or ammo detonation. Major damage would either be killing a crew member or setting the engine on fire. If the rest of the crew bails, a kill should be awarded to the last person that caused major damage while the tank was still crewed, so no kill stealing an empty tank. Also, kill credit should be split based on how many crew members one killed in the tank. So, if you manage to kill 4/5 of a crew, you also get 4/5 of tank kill score (120/150 points).

I cant even count how many times this has happened. I disable the tanks tracks, turret, engine and kill the whole crew but then someone does the final blow to the already burning tank and gets the kill
