Depends where the fire is. If it's on a wingtip or the tail, maybe fighting on was possible. There were bombers that made it back to base after fires (I'm sure I read about that).

You are both an A and a B...the B only because of the point system in game. Had that been a real war battle, you would be the hero. Sleep well tonight, you're OK

We do verbal claims - and generally both pilots would claim the kill.
As the pilot being shot at, I appreciate it if someone blows the guy off my tail. As the pilot being "stolen" from, I feel a little cheated. As the pilot doing the shooting, I feel virtuous. |

seems funny though, i often see dewinged planes that are still considered targets by some in SoV. |

well they question you have to ask your self is were try to save your mate or were you after the points.
If you were after the points then it a steal kill' But if you are trying to save your mate butt then "blast away" |

I was on SoF today playing red in a Spit VIII, had just got an FW-200 and an FW-190, was heading back towards my base at about 15-16k feet low on fuel and cannon ammo, I stopped by the first base and saw it was covered in blues, and decided to potter over to another. Then I noticed one of the Fire Squadron guys who was on my team diving in on a 109 over the base, so I checked my fuel gauge, saw it was pretty empty, but I thought, "what the hell, I've talked to the guy on TS a bit, seems nice, I'll help him out". So I went in alternating with him, except I was only firing MGs to keep the guy off balance. Finally the 109 driver heads into the weeds so I stay high covering the FS guy and he dewings the 109 on the deck.
I check my fuel gauge and see I'm almost running on fumes, and now the base below me has three blue 190s moving in towards it. Damn. I nose over to the other base and run out of fuel halfway there, have to land on a road. So I only got 50 points, but I didn't care, to be honest, it was a fun sortie. That is, until the FS guy I was helping out pipes up in chat saying "you know what grunch, you're not a good teamplayer". ![]() I'm like "oh, really...why's that?". He says "I don't know, you just aren't, you should watch urself u know". Am I wrong to be really offended? The fight played out as a textbook wing-pair attack, with one staying high to cover the other in between attacking and not prosecuting the kill, I couldn't have been a better wingman without being on TS to be honest, and all I get is accused of being a terrible teamplayer, despite losing 450 points for helping the guy! ![]() To be fair there's no way he could know I was only firing MGs, but if he was such a great teamplayer he wouldn't care which way the points went anyway, would he? I don't call people out for cutting in unless they're literally shoulder-shooting, myself. Seems to me like the guy couldn't recognise teamwork if it dewinged him with a MK-103 out of a 2000ft height advantage. ![]() Last edited by TheGrunch; 11-21-2009 at 09:41 PM. |
