IL-2 and online scoring

[albx]

Thank you guys, but sometimes after i killed a plane, then i landed soon because i was out of ammo and i got no scores... why this happen?

In my experience, you get scores every time you get the "Enemy aircraft: Destroyed", or "Enemy Tank: Destroyed", etc. message on the right of my screen. Sometimes this messsage doesn't show up, even if it's clear that i got the kill (doesn't happen with ground kills).

Someone with more experience in this area maybe could explain that part.

There's also the fact that if your sortie lasts less than the "victim's" sortie, then you don't get the kill (this only applies to situations where the bogey escapes badly damaged and crashes on landing attempt for example).

A healthy recommendation... don't mind much about the online scores , fly and fight just for the fun of it.

yep, of course i don't pay attention to scores, try to follow the rules like never shooting at a heavy damaged plane that somebody else shooted to don't steal kills, but this was just so strange that sometimes i kill somebody, the server says i killed him, then i land, and no scores . I don't know why people argue so much with their teammates about kills. Just last day 2 guys where arguing about a kill... well, i think it happen every day probably
thanks

Flak can "steal" the kill if they hit it at all. I guess the idea is is that if you (and your online buddies) aren't responsible for ALL the damage leading to the downing of the enemy, you don't deserve ANY points.

Though the warbirds of prey servers have an option which counts how many air assists you have made, I guess that information has to come from IL2 somehow, but not integrated in the scoring system.
