So I thought the damage system was reworked

[snpshot]

Swoop plinks me, I fly around for 20 minutes chasing him and his buddies. The ones that don't get killed run to flak. I chase one spit into flak and flak kills me, still gives a kill credit to Swoop, wtf? I thought the damage from a player was supposed to reset.

I hopped on TS a little while back AFK. I've been listening in on with Swoop and Killerng - they've been flying alone as a single element tonight. They could have used some help - I am feeling guilty about not joining them, but I've been too busy.

I know what you mean about the "recent damage"/plink kill thing not being fixed yet - it remains every bit as irritating as ever...

Buddies??, there were only 2 of us, and i was being chased for i'd say 2-3 minutes at most, there were at least 5-6 of you guys all on TS, is it really suprising to you when an EA is smart enough to break off from an engagement when the odds are stacked against him?, Sorry about the plink kill though, that seems a bit rough, though theres a lesson to be learned from flying into NME flak after being plinked ...isnt there? 8)

Please make a thread in bug reports. I believe this is a bug, at least we'll clarify it.

Well Swoop you are right, there were only two of you, up really high. Once you guys lost the advantage you ran to aaa, ok that's fine. The real point of my post was that I would not have chased a spit into flak if I thought the damage reset was working. I knew you had plinked me. I would have taken the death to aaa as a risk, but I HATE the fact that another pilot gets a kill on me when what he did was little to no damage. Besides, with so many guys just running to flak these days I really have little choice other than to chase into in it. I don't enjoy flying around at 9k, I like to get in and mix it up.

Yeah plink kills are a b*tch, i'd thought they were gotten rid of too after a minute or something?. anyways I landed my ride when i saw a couple more halos circling above Antwerp AF, a couple took cracks at me, i'd already been hit by my original pursuer, so i despawned and replaned on my original mission at maubege, you were killed by flak some time after i had spawned out. Your right, once we'd lost the Alt advantage i told my wingman to break off, there was no point continuing, Alt was the only advantage we had, once we'd dived down on the EA they would split-s, a couple times doing this and we'd blown our alt adv, i knew some of you were climbing as fast as you could and would be back lickety split, it was a futile gesture fighting against so many EA IMO so i told my wingman to get out, i may have gotten one of you, but i wouldve been smoked aswell, i have too much respect for the hitting power of 190's and G's to let an EA get behind or above me. If there had been less of you, maybe 3-2 things mightve went different, but 6-2 is pushing it a bit, i saw 6 EA but for all i knew there couldve been more lurking around aswell, sometimes all you can do is head for flak and thank the developers that its there. S!

ps: i like to get in and mix it up aswell ...when the odds are more balanced, i wont throw away a death though, thats how i fly.

What was your RTB code?

[GOPHUR]

Was this what you experienced?

test 9

Then tested plink, wait 60, then crash

• spawn plane
• enemy plink plane
  
• wait 2 minutes then crash plane
  
• killawarded, killed by enemy
  

There's also another bug that I haven;t tracked down yet which I think goes like this:

• spawn plane
  
• enemy plink plane
  
• ditch plane (land rescued or MIA)
  
• wait 2 minutes
  
• klii awarded, killed by enemy
