Inexperienced pilot taking a line wow I would of never guessed might as well of removed penalty with it but @Stona_WT doesn’t think so. If people do stuff like this it should be automatic 30min ban. This guy did not make this happen teammate is just an idiot guy gets 2 kills? wooooow
Oh no, not someone getting… two kills, on this extremely rare event! Careful, they might research 1/5th of a modification with that!
Okay so in your mind ALL of the following are completely fine and fair for me to get nothing?
Is that a yes or a no?
What does tank driving have to do with this?
I don’t play sim brother last thing I need is my wife and kids walking into the office and seeing this while I’m bombing.
I play only GRB so it looks professional and like I’m working on a mouse and keyboard.
The reason why i want this in sim

And what difference does that make? People in Arcade or Realistic could just as easily abandon their vehicles mid fight instead of getting killed, to avoid you getting a kill.

you drop a keyboard and mouse loadout I’m game but as of right now even taking off in sim is a pain in the fking booty hole.
You ask the wrong question here: It’s not about getting the reward, it’s about making it unattractive to bail out expressly to deny the other player the possibility to fight you - which is very unsportsmanlike behaviour and really a plague in sim atm.

Imho…when you don’t manage to shot the enemy you did not deserve any reward. No kill means no kill. Thats how it works. I don’t like this communist approach to hand out candy to everyone for no effort.
I remember during my last Ground RB session, a week ago or something, I managed to get two air kills added in my tank. I did nothing, I was just just there and this was already enough to get rewarded twice.
It needs to go. Even when there might be some players actively denying kills… Its not acceptable to totally devalue the kill/reward/statistics system like this. Cause you can’t be sure anymore whether kills happen cause a vehicle is great or a player might be good.
Getting lucky kills like that is very uncommon compared to actual player action. It’s a non-issue.

first of all, me and the guy were already in an BVR fight before i got behind him and was almost close enough to fire an missle at him, i was CLEARLY in the winning position. i should be rewarded since it was my direct actions that led to him crashing. its incredably frustrating and leads to big boosters not being fully used in the small 30 minute time frame
i dont see why getting rewarded for not doing anything is a bad thing.
i get these people almost every match.
something like this wouldnt inflate kill statistcs to any noticable amount and stats shouldnt matter unless you constantly brag about them.
this right here is QoL feature and theres ZERO reason to be against it.

What if it goes for you only? You dont get free kills and you dont give free kills either. And people who want to get rewards do gain and give rewards. So everyone is happy.

WarBlunder Participation Trophies…this addition was dumb…
I just ripped my wing off not anticipating the impact of the boosters I had just added… Some random guy got the kill, not even the guy I was actually pulling onto for a missile shot, just some random dude that likely didn’t even know I was there.
And now I’ve got a crew lock “because reasons”. Either I crashed and deserved the lock or I was “killed” and I don’t…
Its not perfect but it still solves issue of kill denying players.
If you J out close to enemy same will happen as far as Im aware. This was a thing even before this change, so nothing new here.

Just so you know, moderators don’t like it when statshark stats are brought in an argument
I get them, ngl. I’ve always found the “Oh, your stats are X/worse then mine, so your opinion is automatically of lesser quality/worthless” to be exceptionally stupid. Get off your damn high horse and have a normal, civil debate.

He even failed to read it.
Missed to grasp that air rb is just a silver lion + daily task/battlepass grinder for me. My top played air vehicles in air rb are all bombers and attacker planes. With lots of ground kills and SL income. He should have known that I’m using this mode to farm ground kills and ofc bases. You don’t have alot player kills with mainly bombers and strike aircraft.
I like the combined arms modes much more. Like Ground and naval. Here are my second most played air units: Attacker planes to kill tank and ship players (G.91, Bf110 etc). Since this strange new game mechanic applies for all game modes, I totally think I have the right to express my opinion here. War Thunder is not just for Air RB community, its the most simplistic game mode anyways. Especially now with air spawns for everyone and avg match time of about 5 mins.
Sorry, but I think its wrong to get rewarded for opponents crashing or ejecting. Couple of days ago I was camping at a map position right in the enemy half of the map. So I just was the closest player to the enemy air/drone spawn. That was already enough to get two or three air kills added. Mainly strike drones, you spawn a generic drone and use its limited ordnance. Then you crash them or bail out. The closest player gets the kills.
I think its nonsense. And also think it should be removed asap. All this just because air rb players requested to get even more rewarded in these 5 min nonsense matches. Air RB is already the most profitable game mode. There was no need to push this even further.
When players fail to kill someone, they shouldn’t get rewarded at all. This is just lol. For all other modes it also means players get spawn points and kill statistics, just because enemy players crash or J out of planes/drones which spent their ordnance. Why should I strenghten the enemy team just cause I wan’t to switch vehicle to something more useful?
This mechanic is from hell. When some players deny kills, our much loved and precious air elite super players should just deal with it and play on. Instead of ruining and inflating all of War Thunder.

So in your view this was totally fine and justified?

Yeah it can really ruin debates sometimes because some people keep bringing up their stats and yours when they have no real arguments to give. It ruins convos, fortunately we have great moderators who don’t let it become too widespread
