Mission 4 (event 03) head on shots

[algherghezghez]

I just flew the third event (the 2vs2 one) and it was my understanding during the breafing that head on shots were prohibeted and forward quarter shots would not count as kill: is this only valid for me? because I got shot, after the merge, exactly head on and I was counted dead.

Thanks anyway for the amazing campaign, might be the best one I played so far!

Hi,

 

Yes, head on shots are allowed, but won't be counted as kill removal before the merge. Sometimes the AI will try a last moment head on shot before the merge, but you should be protected by a flag long enough, so that it's not counted as a kill. AFTER the merge, however, you can get killed in any way. The idea is to make sure the bandits are not taken out with long range shots before the merge, so that you get to practice engaged maneuvering.

Thanks a lot for the clarification, I had the wrong impression that forward quarter shots wouldn't count as kill even after the merge.

I'll play it again right away.

Feel free to delete or move the post since it's not a bug.

No, it's a valid and fair question, it's good you asked. I'm sure it will occur to others too. Good luck!
