sounds fair enough, so long as ditching, bellylandings, bailouts, and dodgy spawns are taken into account with ESC use. i at least think that kills for that mission should not count if the plane is ESC'd from an another spawned.

Same here mate, there is nothing cooler than nursing home a barely flying smoking wreck and then nailing the perfect landing.

Im not sure the game code can mark a kill against the AC alone via DMG..

I.e if you nurse it home you are not killed but the plane is out of action so the shooter gets the kill credit

So if you bail or ESC to join a squadmate or need a Pee and havent sustained DMG you dont get anything recorded it just turns into AI

If you crash while in AC or ESC after sustaining DMG you get a Death instantly, if you Bail then depends on where you are on map whats recorded

Bigger problem is there is no ground attack scores added to it, so very rarely do you see anyone flying in a ground attack role (other than strafing spawning players at an airfield, but to get that air-kill score). Without the scoring, I think we'd find less camping over enemy airfields from both sides.

You think?

Believe me if you take away the scoring system people will fly like asshats...not caring about what they kill how they fly, you wouldnt get people taking the time out to bomb stuff if they didnt get credited for the kill/score

Taking away a scoring system on MP is silly

Right now, we're just AI away from being AirQuake...

How many of you actually know what the objectives are on the ATAG maps? I know them for Blue side for 1 of the 3 maps we see, but there's no recognition for actually accomplishing it, so no one tries.

My reply was an answer as to why we 'shouldnt' take away the scoring system as you suggested

heck yes some sort of scoring system for the groundpounders, make it worth their while. they are what the air war was all about!

I just was playing on ATAG again. The UFO is back. Guys this makes the game pointless. I dont get it. I for my part have no fun playing on a server that has this plane in the set. Sorry. And sorry for myself since it looks like everyone has jumped on that train. This is soo sad.
And btw. The "scanfor enemies noobiefeature" Padlock seems to be on on this server. That sucks also. Please disable it.
