Yeah this exactly. Firing your SPAA cannons or SAM missile at an enemy and making them crash will still not gove you rewards.

Hey, we really need to have this in Sim… It’s more and more prevalent when you dogfight someone and get on their 6 just for them to see this, flip over and crash into the ground.
Dogfights in Sim are difficult (which is great) but when all of that work of knowing your aircraft, corner speeds, discipline goes to waste cause the other person lost his positioning and decides to crash is disheartening… I mean even a 1km radius would already fix a lot of these situations and promote fair play

my main issue with this mechanic is if a player suddenly got packet loss and then crash, or worse that is GPU restart/crash when in the heat of dogfight (which is still at large and annoying to get it suddenly). Also 3km is wide for a dogfight radius and made worse if it’s you vs a big furball like 4 or 5 people heck even more than that or the entire enemy team ganging up.
or do it in ratio like you only give crash reward if it’s 1v1 or 2v1, more than that then none given.
and what constitute as maneuver kill, if some people already accidentally crashed on trees sometimes

More rewards is always better, it doesnt take anything away from anyone

All good but spiteful people will still crash on purpose to either give the reward to someone else or to give you 50% less reward.
better than nothing

Useful rewards for helping teammates via being close to support, bait, etc. were removed years ago… which required skill, but this stuff where no skill is required is added? Dumb.

3km is defy far enough for someone to stray away in a dogfight. Ya gotta account for MiG-23s and Tu-2s that crash to deny kills whilst base rushing aswell.

Why no crew lock?
Because it one of the most pointless outdated mechanic in game that’s far too easy to get around by just playing with another crew or nation.
It’s only a punishment for newer players, and then it’s a punishment for what exactly really?
This manoeuvre kill also really needs to be in sim, the mode that’s not really been updated for I dunno how long besides nerfs. Heck even a new map would be a start — it’d be the first new one in sim for around 5 years…

You have a good point for AIR RB. In Ground RB especially for Props I personally think this is too far for a “maneuver” kill.
@Stona_WT will the crew lock for aircraft still apply after you crash and someone got the reward? I assume that the entire reason for crew lock was to punish players who crash to deny the kill but now that this new mechanic is coming, will you still get crew locked after crashing?

think about it as a punishment for the player avoid to hit the ground
Stona, are u guys CM cooking something good for us today ?
Why not, if u died dogfighting and someone got rewarded with a kill then why would u need to wait a few minutes for crew lock that’s counter intuitive, crew lock was supposed to counteract ppl dying on purpose to deny kills.
