Kill Stealing

Mess Room

This is one of those pet peeves of mine, one of those things that makes me yell at the screen and makes my neighbors wonder if I messed up my dosage.

You set a plane on fire rip it’s wings off and it’s falling to the ground in a sideways cartwheel and some A hole fly’s by and puts a squirt of MG into and he gets the Kill… FFS

Why can’t they fix this? If the game can track how much damage a plane, or Tank has, same Pet Peeve applies to tanks, why can’t it award a kill based on that rather than whoever tags it last ?

its a team based game at the end of the day.
your efforts go for the team.
dont loose too much of your mind over it.

It’s even worse, I would say that the small arms fire has priority in kill against enemy aircrafts. Many times I really crippled enemy plane shooting off its wing, but because somebody earlier hit once or twice the same plane with let’s say Bren gun, he got the kill even though it was me who brought enemy down using my fighter plane.

It’s actually possible to get assists against aircraft, but it seems it’s not possible in other aircraft or AA guns.

So I was in a Sherman shooting at an aircraft with the .50 cal and a friendly aircraft then shot them down and I got an assist.

Ya, I know, it’s a pet peeve though so it defies any attempts to reason with it :slight_smile:

WoW, I did not know that I thought whoever tagged it last no matter what got the kill

Today again I had an issue with no kill or assist being awarded while I was in an AA gun a couple times

It happens in every team games, sometimes you do 99% dmg to an enemy infantry and someone else get the kill. Even in none fps game like rocket league people can steal your goals in last second xD.

It’s what it’s just try to ignore it and stop yelling at your screen for that :slight_smile:

Sometimes, especially since last major update I get kill for the pilot but not for the vehicle when he crash (no one gets the vehicle kill), of course I’ve been shooting at this aircraft with my plane before it crashed.

I’m far more bothered by the fact that if you hit a plane with a tank all it will do is kill their propeller and their death will be a suicide because you didn’t do any damage to them.
