Dear Gaijin, can we please implement a kill credit to the player who deals damage to an enemy plane if that person then goes to menu and suicides their plane.
Multiple nights in a row I have used my war thunder skills to our maneuver 109s in my p38 get on there tail and deal insane amounts of damage only for them to immediately go to menu and suicide to avoid crediting me with a kill. This happens 70% of the time I’m eliminating a plane.
It’s unsportsmanlike and very frustrating as it prevents you from gaining research.
You implemented it with war thunder, if you deal damage and they suicide you should get the kill.
Thanks

Tbh I do it so I don’t have to sit through the 30 second spiral to the ground
I doubt that’s the reason for a lot of people though

I call it bailing out; however, yeah… you should get the kill.

They can just implement a J out as you do in war thunder, you still bail out your pilot. But will credit the kill to the enemy, I have no issue someone beating me or getting a jump on me unawares. Give em the kill they earned it.
Maybe you get some research for saving your pilot by ejecting out could be positive. But clearly still rewarding the kill.

You do get credit even if the pilot suicide, its just you didnt deal enough damage, i plane planes alot so i know for sure
I do this, or if im defending i just suicide after a single pass to be useful as an infantryman.
Seems as though the damage needed should be as soon as you damage them. I’ve had situations where as soon as i’ve got behind someone and get guns on, they suicide after a couple of hits.
It should still at least reward the kill, they lose the ticket anyways so at least a kill credit would be better for the game.
Plenty of people, including me, do that because of the D-Day event. I had a principle of not bailing out till I hit the ground, but during event that gives you severe disadvantage when trying to complete last task.
I hope devs collected enough good stats from event and can act upon it, otherwise all that toxicity was for nothing 
I doubt that many people are suiciding planes to deny you the kill, and rather are doing so because it’s simply faster if you want to get back to the fight - hell i suicide my planes even if nobody is shooting me after my first bombing run because it takes far longer to get back into the action when you suicide as opposed to going to rearm spot - treat the planes like an artillery strike ;p.

I’m more trying to get the Devs to look at least rewarding players the kill if you do land shots n they suicide. 
Just looking to improve the game mechanics.
