Just played a game where task was ‘Destroy player vehicle using SPAA’. Game replay #2026.03.04 12.49.41 I required 1 kill, shot down two enemy planes, game ended I still require one kill and this is not the first time it’s happened this week!

Players using planes in Ground AB are on a timer. Sometimes, a player
controlled plane will turn into an Ai plane after the timer expires.
Even tho it is the same plane, it’s designation will change when that happens.
So, it may not be counting those kills after the change occurs.
I have had this happen to me in the past while doing such tasks as well.
And to share a replay here, you prolly need to copy the .wrpl file from your
Replay folder(also rename it to make it easier to find) and then paste that as
a link for others to watch. At least I think that is how you do it.
That is a possible explanation, I think that is how it can go sometimes anyway.
Thanks for the reply I have shot down over 10,000 enemy aircraft in the nine years I’ve been playing, I am fully aware of the time limit on aircraft. I suspect it is a new bug that no one cares about.

Have played many, many arcade battles and have never seen this particular issue happen. I’ve always gotten credit for shooting down the plane.
Recently though (within past 30 days) I have experienced what the OP is talking about. In battle - registered kill. Battle-screen - registered kill. Battle mission - missing kills.
Having the same issue.
It’s also happening in Ground Assault when I’m using an spaa. I shoot down 2 bot planes and battle screen only shows 1 kill. And no-one else got credit for the kill either. After 2 waves of 4 aircraft, I shot down all 4, and battle screen shows 2 air kills. Something is off.

Funny how it works. I’ve been missing kills for months now. I even had 9 kills missing in Assault, but in Naval you could be shelling someone, do a lot of damage and then nothing. Bots steal kills with their 40 mm anti-air guns.
Same problem with assists. Many times I would do a lot of damage, but do not get any assist reward for it and no kill. It sucks if you have to do 50 assists for the special task. Now I just skip it. Some matches I’m lucky to get an assist or two. The missing assist reward has been a problem for years.
Now, if you do enough damage, it still counts as a kill… but that also means no assist counted towards your task, so 50 assists is ludicrous now. They change the gameplay, but do not adjust tasks for it.
You can call all of this a blatant income nerf…
