Showing up as PLAYER is no more but getting credit for kill

[Leviathan]

sorry for the long title but. . .

I've noticed on a few occasions that when I shot a chopper and it crashes a little later it says the players are no more, however I still get a kill and 2 points for each kill in my stats. It also happens when I crash into another chopper or plane. It says they are no more but I get a kill for it.

Anybody had this happen or know anything about it?

[DeathFromAbove]

well... they are no more.

I always assumed that I didn't get credit for the kill when it said "is no more"

I haven't noticed.

Yeah I assumed that too, until today. For instance sometimes when two planes crash, one will get a kill and the other won't (it will say their opponent is no more), however I never checked my stats to see if I got credit. From the best I can tell, you get credit with for a "road kill" with that vehicle.

I tested it out today. I entered a server (had 0 points), then I rammed a Blackhawk with another chopper. It said I was killed by the BH's pilot and that all the 5 passengers were no more. So I looked at my score and I had 10 points and 5 kills and 1 death.

yea, it is.

That does explain more points than i knew of. When shooting at a helo with a tank and they crash. Several times in a round.

The best is when you die, and there is NO "JohnDoe [killed] Gulf_War_Syndrome" and NO "Gulf_War_Syndrome is no more" in the logs. I wonder if these appear as a kill on someones stats - I definately get a death count for it.

Maybe if you damage the chopper sufficiently, when it crashes and killls the players inside you get the kill?

Well at least you hit them and they crashed becos of that I think you get the point
