tank dead but not dead bug

[Tandel]

i shot a sherman with a pak38 earlier today at point blank range (within 20m) side shot, right in the sap spot. i get the message kill AND the tank is a flameball, but the driver continues to steer at me, and when i push a few meters from him, he switches to is MG and kills me.

i killed 3 tanks, all flamed and they continued to operate like nothing was wrong. all of this occured in elsloo.

You getting a kill on a vehicle is in no way related top the targets death.

You get a kill if you track a tank and it can;t move. The gunner may well be able to fire at you.

This is military style kill scoring not TF2 kill scoring.

Also, know that the system knows if what damage you are going to inflict from a round you score so it can announce a kill scored say on an INF that is bleeding out but not dead yet because the system knows he's going to die and isn't going to let him off scott free by despawning early. You get the kill, he's not dead yet and he shoots you in the face.
