Update: Sortie 287254 just now. Spitfire hit by me and jinroh (both in F-4s) burst into flames and broke up into several chunks at low altitude. Neither of us got the kill for that guy. Could've been a plug-puller, but it didn't look like it to me... hard to tell though, since we were on the deck. EDIT: And then there were reports in the chat of guys getting all sorts of kill-credit weirdness. The one I saw mentioned a player getting a kill credit for an enemy plane that was reportedly flying at 6k while he was on the ground as an MP40. Err...? S.

in 1 min for both sides and there was no swinging overpop/underpop at that time too

I've noticed this for quite a long time.  As in many, many years.  

Was this all done within the 30-second sampling that Ohm just cited?  If not, the values for every variable could be different throughout your analysis.   Likewise, with the paltry numbers the game has these days, one or two players leaving/switching can make a big shift in the timers.

Just had one I shot and hit and he went into the ground and blew up right after my pass ... hits recorded but no kill and there was nobody else that shot him right before he crashed. I was definitely the last guy to hit him. Second one I flamed over Hirson N FB and also didn't get a kill... got the hit credit, but no kill and I was the only one shooting him when he burst into flames.   Also flamed a Boston that mission and did get the kill for him as expected. Other LW guys on comms also reported the same sort of stuff with missing DB-7 kills they should've gotten credit for. I believe cooper had his guncam running for the first DB (the one that crashed into the ground), the other one happened during sortie 275413 but there's no video of that one I'm afraid.   EDIT: I should probably have mentioned that the first DB didn't give anyone a kill, even though at least one of us also got shots into him before I shot him and he crashed.

Sampling is 30sec
