This is completely irrelevant. First, what "guncam footage" was ever used by a Zero or an I-16?

Agreed. Different nations used different standards for kill claiming, and for nations where kill claims were hard to verify, it could take years, or even decades, to get confirmation for a kill.
In some ways, as frustrating as it is, the current kill scoring system is incredibly generous since it usually counts planes that crash as a result of damage that isn't immediately fatal. Realistically, those kills would only count as "probable kill" or "damaged" claims.

Yep. I've pointed out one simple way to fix this problem. Other folks have also made good suggestions. It seems like a simple programming fix, so no reason to to do it.
* Assign kills to the pilot, not the plane.
* Assign kills as soon as a plane catches fire, break up, has a pilot & co-pilot kill result, or when the AI prompts the crew to bail out.
* Instantly assign kills when a plane ditches or force lands (i.e., anything but a wheels down landing at an airfield). |
