OK, trying to play assault arcade in the F-14B, lobbing Aim-54’s at Kikka’s and G4’s from 10-20 miles out.
4x times in one match I’ve spontaneously exploded and had my death awarded to an AI kikka… while being 10+ miles away from the closest AI aircraft. It’s always a kikka, never a G4.
Any theories as to how the AI are killing me with a 30mm cannon from a few zip codes away?
Basically rendering the mode unplayable.
edit: replay screenshots… note the timestamps and complete lack of anything anywhere near me:

Yeah, it’s the wrath of the Kikkas. They can detonate missiles right off the rails as well as also detonating all bombs when you’re on a run against the artillery waves. This has been ongoing since Leviathans came out I think.
Edit: I’m only half kidding about ‘the wrath of the Kikkas.’ There doesn’t need to be a Kikka wave on the map for them to get the kill credit against you. And what’s most aggravating is when I’ve managed to gauge when the arties will come and I’m the first out with my F-105 bombtruck and start dropping, only for the last bomb to blow myself up, as well as every other bomb I’ve dropped.
The only silver lining is that this is limited to the Zhengzhou map and not Norway…
