I don’t know when this began, but last view days I got a single hit on a player, he died seconds later to another mate and I got no assist.
Am i missing anything?

I think you have to do more than just a Hit. Like whenever I shoot at a tank and and it bounces without doing any real or light damage, i won’t get the kill assists. Damaging tracks, Mg Gun, radiators etc…will give you kill assists. Or so that’s how I’m experiencing them.
Sometimes even ricochet will give you an assist lol

I get this as well, but it’s been happening for a very long time. Sometimes it seems it’s worse (i.e. happens more) than other times, but I couldn’t say I’ve felt it happening more recently. (Although it is a bit hard to get consistent results to get a confirmation).
Just all the critical bits on the enemy plane!! :D boom tish…
idk, there were a lot of times a ricochet didn’t give me kill assists.
I got it a couple of times
And conversely I’ve gotten assists and “finished off” kills for simple “hits” as often as I’ve gotten nuthin’, instead of needing “critical hits”.
Probably something in the spaghetti code since they changed the way assists, kills, and assistedbutheresakillanyway credits are decided.

Like the whole ARB this is a total mess, too.
On one plane you get a severe damage and you can fly without any problems, on another you get a hit and you are barely able to stay in the air. No logic at all.
This is over months.
But no assist for a hit a second ago is new to me.
Feels like it began when Severe damage was introduced.
Yeah the system is wonky as hell. I’ve even severely damaged aircraft before - got the message and everything - Then someone else gets in the middle of it and kills the enemy before I do, or go after the burning and falling aircraft and kill it rather than moving on.
And some of those instances I never even got an assist credit, let alone the " Severe damage counted as Kill ". The system is unreliable and only Gaijin can fix it, if they can even fix it…
I don’t know if I understood you correctly. You mean you got 2 kills for the same plane because you got 2 severe damage on it? The protocol shows only 1 kill. Several severe damage on the same plane are common, but only 1 kill for it.
Yeah my scoreboard was 1+1.
Record tho was this:
All from 1 plane (sabre on fire that refused to crash).
It was bug reported, zero reaction.
This happened to me right after the severe damage was introduced frequently. But it never gives me a additional kill, only the severe +1 stays till the end of battle. So it only was a failure on the scoreboard.
Even the calculation in the battle message was correct.
