Blown up and RTB?

[Bldngutz]

Was in Tongren next to a cp in a Sherm 76 and was blown up by a Tiger.

As I despawned the game gave me a RTB notice. (but did not reserve the now dead tank)

CSR also shows a RTB on that mission.

Shouldn't this be a KIA?

I should think so but it depends. When you despawn you blow up if you have recieved a critical component kill and the enemy has been awarded a kill. This is for him. This does not mean you necessarily really blew up, depends on when it happens.

He popped my turret. All crew died in a mass a flaming wreckage.

I sat there and looked at my poor tank.

Then I despawned and went and got a sapper and blew his azz up.

this may be related to changes to make non RTB award kills (aircraft model) and I am testing this case to see what I can figure out

standby please

PS: Ok live testing v1.32.1.255 (campaign server) no bug found, KIA when hulked from enemy fire at friendly AB. Sure you didn't hulk as the result of despawn with crit engine damage (v1.31 feature) ? That would get you an RTB and a blown up tank.
