Plink kills still being reported long after plink occurs

[gutted]

Didn't feel like waiting 3 hours for an HD version to upload, so i just exported a normal 4:3 default quality version. If quality turns out bad i can upload a better one.

All tests were performed by applying a single push of MG17's from an E4 into the wing of a Spitfire.

Pilot (Jester6) confirmed he heard the hits, tested the plane to make sure all guns fired, and that the pilot & engine was unhurt and the aircraft felt undamaged.

Test 1:

victim ditches AFTER 60 seconds = No Killer

Test 2:

victim ditches BEFORE 60 seconds = Killer

Test 3:

victim crashes & dies BEFORE 60 seconds = Killer

Test 4:

shooter crashes & dies BEFORE Victim (who himslef later crashes & dies) = Unknown Killer for victim (CSR will show it correctly btw)

Test 5:

Victim crashes & dies AFTER 60 seconds = Killer

Test 6:

Same as Test 5 with same results

Test 7:

Same as Test 5... but with NO KILLER (unexpected!)

Note:

Throught the video you can hear the so called "Bionic ears". Note how when im looking forward i can't hear him, but when looking off to the side or behind i can.

The game engine knows when you are going to die from injury before you do. It flags that as a death. It always has done this. That's not a bug it's how the game engine was coded.

PS: there is a problem with the system recording "plink" kills some time after bailing and ditching. We know about it. We're working on it. It only affects those that go beyond a fairly long time frame.

Nice find Doc. Ticket?

Plinked early in my sortie, no problems whatsoever, blacked out and crashed myself into a tree at least 20 minutes later, kill credit awarded to UNKNOWN, a pilot who ended his sortie 20 minutes previous.

As illustrated in the video Gutted and I did.

DOC thanks for looking into this, the kill system is about as good as it has ever been with a few tweaks it will be awesome.

I am glad you guys are working on this, compared to just a year ago when guys were despawning/ alt f4ing rampant the game has much improved in the air.
