That doesn’t mean they’re getting them because a free maneuver kill counted for them because they were close. And doesn’t change that it’s already a mechanic, so if gaijin makes it good for the goose, then it’s good for the gander.
This business of awarding free kills is in GRB and it sucks.That is my point.I have ditched untouched planes and some guy gets a kill and I have had planes crash near me and I got the kill. It never used to be the case.I also get hit by a single bullet doing no harm and then five minutes later when I bail the guy gets the kill.
We have that in GRB and its crap.Its unfair and annoying.

And that’s the point, it’s there. If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander.
They either need to get rid of it, or apply it equally.

How is it bad?
And you don’t, since it gives the kill to the person who did the most damage, or was closest when the player left the vehicle. The same thing exists in air RB when you J out, but not when you intentionally crash.
This is the usual claim from a tanker who has no clue that this mechanic is also implemented in Air RB.
This whole thread deals with crashes of undamaged aircraft.
I am not sure why you feel the need to repeat the fairy tale of maneuver kills - if you would play Air RB more successfully you would know that these kind of kills are extremely rare.
Regarding “close” - the pure fact that you were close does not imply that you will get a “shot”…just imagine a top model enters by accident your elevator and you a have a 1 vs 1 - try to argue why you deserve a reward for that.
Have in jind that this “crash no kill” works not consistent and you see from time to time people leaving undamaged aircraft without any reward given to nearby enemies.
The BTD which left his plane at 02:52 granted no reward for an enemy player.
This list was from a thread dealing with more or less the same issue…
Not in GRB. I had a plane crash into the bridge above me when I was under it and I got the kill.I never even saw it let alone fired at it.
what are you talking about hurting innocents and abused by a game you need help…
bahahahahahahahaha
how is it asking for a participation award and a me problem if my missile is about to hit someone and instead of taking the L they fly into the ground that makes no sense there champ
I don’t suppose much can be done but I can see why it’s annoying. The only consolation is you took an opposite team member out if team play is your thing.
Really ,the proximity kill award is a pain in the arse. Just makes a mockery of the game worse than the voluntary death.
Theres a fine line between making a mistake, and some dude that cant shake you ploughing into the ground at 900 kmph.
but as been stated impossible system to implement as the distinction for an automatic system is difficult.
Unless it reads the imputs from the player?

based on what psychology?
Im sorry reading your earlier “example” there was no reference to any studies, nor factual psychological points on how adding a system that prevents people from throwing the match would cause further stress or duress?
As of right now, in 3 games ive had 4 people do it.
Yesterday there was about 10 people in 5 matches, folks in my team doing it to.

Then add it based off of imputs.
They have the imputs of the player, if its a genuine mistake it’s far easier to spot than if the person turns around and throws themselves into the ground.
GRB is buggy as hell for this kind of stuff, and its completely different in idea. GRB a drone can die 5km above you and it gives whomever is closest the kill.
In ARB if you are literally in a dogfight and especially up at 9.0 and above, your distances will be far closer. talking withint 3kms max.
So say within a 1km radius to the person adds a kill to the closest player. Then it would 100 percent stop people just tossing themselves into teh ground when they see theyre about to lose.
I mean theyre dead anyways so what difference does it make.
Thats because he has a hit on you, and you bail.
that mechanics existed in the game since the get go.

And I’ve only at most been suspicious of 1 pilot in the last month, the rest failed to understand the turning circle of their aircraft.
I didn’t care that the 1 pilot crashed cause I saved a missile anyway and ended up winning the match
Just press J to eject

3km could be fair, people can just spear in before you can even shoot. They only need to deny your kill.
holy necro post
just let the thread have its rest in peace
Forum equivalent of a necromancer
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.
