Some Vehicle Assists Should Count as Kills

All too often I will seriously damage an enemy plane or tank only for a teammate to take advantage of the weakened enemy vehicle and steal my kill. This is incredibly frustrating, and I believe the simple fix for this is to implement a system many other first person shooters already have, allowing assists to count as kills for vehicles.

If a player severely damages an enemy plane or kills most of the crew of an enemy tank, they should be rewarded with a vehicle kill even if a kill hungry teammate lands the final blow.


Example - Getting the final hit on a falling enemy plane to steal another players vehicle kill

I once hit an enemy tank on the front with my AT rifle (it did nothing) and ran off. A couple of seconds later I got the notification with the XP of a destroyed tank. I did nothing to it while somebody clearly nearly destroyed it. They should have gotten the XP, not me. If this was implemented into the game that would be great.

Ya, this sucks always has, I always finish my kills if I can, especially if I am in the air.

I can see your point but nevertheless it’s part of the game imo.
Have been on both sides 1000 of times. Should therefore be more or less equal in the end.

A bit irritating for sure, not so much anymore though. A few seconds of “but?!” but then I just move on. The battle continues after all.

Agreed. It should either go to the person that did the most damage or at the very least a shared/ equal assist kill. Super annoying to damage a vehicle into basically the end of its use only to have someone come in and tap it with a twig and take the kill from you.

I agree, most points should go to the player who damaged the vehicle the most, not who hits it last.

Literally just rage quit because of this BS. Assists that count as kills NEED to be added. I spent 4 rounds of AP in a tank duel, killing all of the crew, for someone to walk up with an explosive pack and take the vehicle kill - RIDICULOUSLY AGGRAVATING!!! IT HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN ONE MATCH, COME ON!
