| Post subject: | Question on the new Bomber/GV interface |
Saw no kills by otto weinies last night...all otto kills were attributed to human pilot flying the aircraft. Is this a function of the new interface? Curious if this is indeed the case. Dobs |

Salute! Must be a new feature, Dobs, as my kill was by my AI critters while I was jinking. Gums sends... |

maybe not new? If I am flying a buff and one of my guns (otto) shoot down someone, I have always gotten credit. |

Usually we see kill of XXXX by otto weinies...if a name comes up, means they were manning their own gun. But now with 4 aircraft tied to a single guy...are they getting kill credit from all their AI wingmen? And the other side of that coin is "While we get no credit for killing AIs"... |

Salute! I think you are looking at "ack weenies", Dobs. I do not recall seeing kills in the buffer by "otto", but could be wrong. Lastly, who gives crap about personal scores? Especially amongst the buff pukes. Gums sends... |

Ya gotta fly more Gums:) Otto is often credited with kills.....just haven't seen otto credit since new interface...hence the questions. |

^^^ Through Frame 2:  jabo wrote: One of the things that really is troublesome in the logs is that AI no matter what type do not show up in the logs except when they are killed. They will kill you with their AAA or destroy things by bombing and nothing appears in the log. I have some guys swear they just blew up but I know their was DD AAA coming at them. Nothing will appear in the buffer either.

=dobs= wrote: Ya gotta fly more Gums:) Otto is often credited with kills.....just haven't seen otto credit since new interface...hence the questions. I disagree. In the S6 I am credited with 10 kills over the years (ok, stop laughing now). Only 2 or 3 were me in a fighter the others were my otto killing things. An example from ADDR Quote: Sun Nov 15 21:25:23 2009 HIT muskyz B-24J F079EK065 500lb GP Bomb Sun Nov 15 21:25:23 2009 HIT muskyz B-24J F079EK061 500lb GP Bomb Sun Nov 15 21:25:23 2009 HIT muskyz B-24J F079EI017 500lb GP Bomb Sun Nov 15 21:30:50 2009 KILL muskyz B-24J drclam FW-190A8 Sun Nov 15 21:30:50 2009 KILL jugggo FW-190A4 muskyz B-24J Sun Nov 15 21:30:50 2009 ASSIST -bman- muskyz Sun Nov 15 21:30:50 2009 ASSIST -taho- muskyz Sun Nov 15 21:30:50 2009 BAIL muskyz B-24J C2 I never gun and I got credit for killing drclam. This is typical, if a manned plane's otto kills someone it goes to the pilot of that plane. As for the extra AI, no idea. in the past they came up as otto. |

Its an arena setting, always been set that way in S3s just not in the MA. You can have kills awarded to otto(ie AI gunners on bombers) or to the player. Considering how easy it is to kill the bomber\strike AI and get credit for it I think its the least we can do for the bomber pilots. If you look at the SITC summaries you will see many bombers are going down as confirmed kills more than half are AI. |

Ty Jabo. So even AI otto kills are given to the guy who has them as their wingman? Just to be clear... Sorry Musky, should have known it could be an arena setting.... |
