As such, all Kills resulting from an OB should actually be registered as Assists (and Damage) for the squad, since:
a) the whole squad contributed to earning the OB, and
b) any Kills are indirect in nature and, by definition, are actually Assists
Orbital kills should go to the eve pilot. Because they are orbital strikes, not warbarge strikes.
That makes sense.
Aaannd we're back to assists for the Dust players.

I think it should count as a kill, but not give you WP at all. Maybe a small amount, make a new category called "Orbital Kill."
It REALLY takes away the incentive to dent your KDR just because you don't like Orbies farming WP.

Actually, I really don't care about who gets credit for kills (check my KDR for proof), it's having one OB directly funding the next that bugs me. Your suggestion would certainly address that issue.

I think it is better to add in kill friendly infantry, as assistants.
Pilots currently too little benefit from the orbital strike, if the kill assigned not personally to him, it will be wrong.

It's part of the power ego trip. Seeing yourself at the top of the killboard because you were squad leader of a good squad.

If you are saying that Pilots should get credit for kills and Infantry get credit for assists (maybe with a small bonus for squad leader), then I agree.

Right. Maybe the WP/SP bonuses for winning a match need to be increased to balance that out. I've seen more than one match where the losing team had a handful of players with ridiculously high kill counts.

Yes, exactly, but every kill must be assigned to the Pilot )))

It's to offset the deaths a squad leader gets cause he gets killed with his wheel out quite often
if wishes were tank seats
then blueberries would ride
