Game Update... Great!

Questions, how do you award points in a kamikaze kill? I crash into someone full speed and it says I crash, but the other guy gets a point. Someone crashes into me full speed, I crash, and they get the point. I should point out I am NOT doing this on purpose, but when it does happen, how does the point get awarded 'cause I would like to know how to deal with the guys that keep crashing into me on purpose...

I posted this in the suggestions to devs section already but I do not know if this is still checked so I'll post it here to make sure... ( text made smaller to not take up so much space, I don't want to be a nuisance).

this translates to : start, select, down, down, down, X, left, X...

this takes way too long. I don't know if the button's normally used for issueing commands are used in multiplayer, but maybe you can assign the bailout button to one of these buttons? or to make sure you don't accidentally push it, have it in a way that you have to press both the attack and defend order buttons at the same time and that you bailout then...

and maybe have only half the kill points if a pilot manages to bail out?

this would GREATLY improve the multiplayer experience, since that way people will actually be able to bail out, instead of the few times it is possible now...

Never noticed they get a point if they crash into me it just says that I crashed I will look more closely next time.

yeah, first time I noticed it was in a one on one match, he just kept coming at me head on and would crash into me, got about 3 kills out of it before I changed my strategy...then he started crashing every he got any damage and I received no points

Ah well, the update will make it a much more consistent/enjoyable experience

If you get a hit on the other guys plane before the mid air crash, you will get a kill aswell because it's within the current 5? seconds. It sounds like this would be the same after the patch aswell. Its not a big problem to me, ive had loads of head to head collisons and it seems quite realistic to me. I don't think people try to crash into you its just your plane has to follow where you want your bullets to go.

I disagree. There have been plenty of times where I have been going head on and am able to climb or dive in order to avoid a collision. And as far as getting a kill when it's within a certain time frame, what determines who gets the kill? In most instances where this occurs, I am hitting the other guy as much as he is hitting me, yet he gets the kill?

I don't know, maybe you need to do over a certain amount of damage before the crash and the other guy is doing more damage to you than you did to him.
I am sure most people arn't trying to ram you, just trying to shoot you and don't pull away in time.
