I was going to say “finally”, then I read that “This mechanic is not enabled in air simulator battles”. As usual sim community got a big mid finger. Too bad, really too bad.
How disappointing!

Hold on, that’s fire? One of the best news so far tbh.
Not perfect but it’s really cool the way it’s described, will definitely help a lot
the fact that sim wont get it + that when j-out in sim it doesn’t give the kill to the guy that is close

Sim not getting it is indeed sad, though I don’t play it so doesn’t really impact me. Still sad for you.
Where did they say bailing out isn’t included though? I missed that info

They implemented the UA window to prevent economy abuse in ASB. They could implement the j-out and this plane crash kill in ASB. Maybe limited to 3 kills every 24h to prevent bot abuse…
But you know what? I already accepted that we that play ASB should eat dirt everyday forever. No problem. The mode still is fun. We are masochists after all.
thats old history, but the main problems in Sim is players crashing on purpose and j-out to deny your kill and the iron dome meta for top tier, with this mechanic it should kinda solve some of this problems

they already cut the reward in half, and in sim it doesn’t really matter the kills you take, its matter how many points you get in a time limit and survive ( not that i don’t already see people abuse Sim to farm with their friends in opposite teams)
If any limit is really required (because like you said, we’ve already got Activity time to mitigate any exploitation) then 1 per 5 minutes would be more than enough cooldown

Early signal of upcoming SL / RP nerf ?

Why is the reward reduced? Because there will be circumstances where someone who didn’t do anything will be credited with a destruction and reward, simply because they were in close proximity, so sometimes you might get lucky with some free points.
What is this logic? Sometimes the wrong person will get the reward, therefore everyone should get 50% less?

I don’t like a lot of things snail does, but this is one of those things that is genuinely nice.
This is so awsome. I remember talking about this few times in the past as its so annoying when some ppl do that. I had 3 ppl crash on purpose in single match just last week. And also some just get manuver killed without taking damage but you get nothing but now you will. Thank you ! 🙇♂️
YEEEES LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOO
Praise the snail
Sounds like the best new mechanics addition since severe damage/shared kills. Doesn’t sound like it will reward ground vehicles which is good, they shouldn’t get random rewards for people crashing.
"This mechanic is also not enabled in Air Simulator Battles”
Ever the redheaded stepchild aren’t we… As a demographic are we just not profitiable enough or something?

It took a decade, but it’s finally here!
