Manouvring Kills

[SuperKermit]

I really would like to get manouvring kills being awarded.

When an an opponent looses control and crashes in a dogfight that should count as well as a kill. It’s quite frustrating when he flies into the ground while heavy manouvring and you are just left without any credits.

If you believe in yourself, you don’t need external validation

Very true. However, I also believe in numbers

I think implementing a system that credits you for manoeuvre kills won’t exactly be a trivial task. How do you determine what is a manoeuvre kill and what isn’t? Can that be easily defined using language that a computer understands?

From what I hear, getting credit for manoeuvre kills in real life isn’t trivial either.

Not to mention WHO gets the credit (assuming there is more one aircraft in the area, which one caused it to fly into terrain?).

I get the wish, but it's not nearly as simple as it might initially seem.

Real life verification and scoring was much more complicated than a game can handle. Unconfirmed kills are certainly realistic, so…

I remember back in the days when I played "WarBirds" online (must have been around 2000s) they had some scoring system that involved manoeuvring kills.

While I agree that this would not be a trivial task I think it is not undoable. E.g. when two planes turn around each other for a certain time and then on one crashes, that would be a good indication for a manoeuvring kill. It might not be a 100% solution, but better than nothing.
