Kill deniers

More and more people have started to nose dive into the ground to avoid getting killed. Almost every other game at least 1 person will nose dive and kill themselves to avoid being killed by your missiles. It was always a thing but it was always incredibly rare but now it feels like every lvl 100 in ARB just nose dives to avoid getting killed by a lower level or a premium user.

I’ve had 4 people now nose dive when I launched an AIM-9 at them in my A-10, all but 1 of them have been lvl 100s. It’s completely killing ARB and it, just like spawn camping, is becoming more and more common even in lower and lower BRs. And it’s especially annoying when it’s someone you have chased around for MINUTES trying to kill, and once you actually get close enough to go guns on (I was in a F4 and they were a MIG-21 and I had been slowly catching them for over 2 minutes now. couldn’t use radar because of ground clutter and he still had flares so AIM-9s also wouldn’t work so had to go for guns) they just nose dived and I got nothing from it.

If someone crashes it should count as a kill to whoever is closer, just like if they J out or leave the game.

The issue is that Gajin should be perma banning for singular offenses, but they just opt to do nothing instead.

I had a game where 3 PEOPLE did this. 1 with an AIM-7, one with an AIM-9, and one when I was going for guns.

It’s such a weird thing to do as they still get a death added to their stats, still have to pay the repair costs, and still have to face a (pointless af) crew lock and whatnot

It makes no difference to anything if they kill themselves or they’re killed besides having to wait to play that vehicle for a bit so these people are clearly braindead as if the really insist on dying asap then they should avoid the crew lock by getting killed instead or just not playing at all

Ik it’s almost like they don’t want to hurt their ego or something by getting killed by someone using a premium or a lower level and would rather just say “oh yeah I crashed”.

Most of the people who do it are lvl 100 with no life stats doing it to people in premiums.

Just add a manouver kill mechanic.
You crashed while a missile was locked onto you or you RWR was screaming at you?
bam! Kill for whoever locked you
You crashed while an enemy/ies was like 3km from you?
bam! Kill for nearest enemy player

That’s the thing.
They don’t lose much when denying you a kill, so many will do it out of spite (for various reasons) or just for rage bait purposes.

Imo if you have someone locked, fired a missile/ guns at them and they crash you should get a kill. Obviously no where near a perfect situation and I’m sure there is a better idea out there but something is better than nothing. I absolutely hate when people do this

And obv is you’re in G lock and crash it should remove the kill. Heck remove the crew lock.

If they truly crash out of G lock then I got nothing against them, but these were obvious just “dont let him kill you” crashes

So you’re banned as well. Got it.

Can’t for many reasons, and 2 of those reasons are exploitation of game mechanics.
Go make a game with that mechanic and see how well it does.

Might not be thinking hard enough but how would you exploit this? I can’t think of a way. Now obviously occasionally someone might get a kill they didn’t deserve but I’d rather that then the current system

If it wasn’t happening every singe game then a lesser punishment would be fine. People do it cause there’s no reason not to.

doesnt happen very often at all

If definitely does.

just pure spite.
