Hits and kills

[jimmyhb79]

It's a bit frustrating that some kills only show as hits and so you don't get points/rank for them. This is especially irritating for Navy/Air where I (and plenty of others) have less rank.

I've seen this for a while in game, but today was the most obvious: walked up behind hidden ei with no one else within 200m and shot him at point blank. He dies, I despawn. 1 hit 0 kills.

Either it's a straight out bug, or he's registered critical damage earlier and so I only got the hit. I can understand why this might be a useful model for tanking and flying, but surely only the person that actually kills the ei should get the kill credit regardless of previous hits.

Anyway, I suspect it's a bug rather than the latter because I've cut down running ei and only got hits before - they prob couldn't run if they'd sustained critical damage.

Could be a bug. There are some in scoring. Usually though it is just old school lack of sit rep. The game isn't great about lifting the skirt and telling you what's going on.

It might be useful to refer to the sortie later and see if the kill was credited. Until the target resolves his sortie he may not yet have awarded the kill. Check back with CSR or AAR to see.

I have some interesting data.

I had a kill the other day during intermission without having fired a shot in the air. The only thing I can imagine that caused it was a destroyer I had hit earlier on a different mission but not killed despawning.

Why does it take days for CSR to get updated and online. This has been an ongoing issue with this game-pretty annoying.

Some kills are counted in next sortie, it depend on despawn time of damaged unit.
