Noticed this in 3 matches yesterday. Instead of giving points for either the dropship destruction or kills (or even kill assist points) the killfeed would just say CBR7 Swarm Launcher ENEMY X. Basically the same way that an unmanned blaster installation would show up in the killfeed. This happened in skirmish matches, on multiple maps. |

no weapon gets points for destruction of dropships in the air, burn damage is the last hit marker on them stealling points away. if you haven't noticed that dropships do not explode in air only once they touch ground does the destructions points show up and as assist points. |

Wrong. Though your story is the most usual occurence, I do occasionally manage to get a full kill on a dropship with my swarms. It is rare but you do get 75 WP for it. |

Yeah, I'm not talking about not getting kills for taking down a dropship when it crashes. I'm saying getting zilch for shooting down the dropships, and the killfeed just saying Swarm Launcher Enemy X/Y/Z. I'm used to not getting the kills for taking down a dropship and it crashing, but getting zero WP for dropship destruction or kill assists is something new. |

I hit 2 dropships with swarm in skirmish and they crashed to the ground. Didn't get any points for that.
Third one I destroyed while on the roof (probably empty). I didn't get any points for that too.
Killing empty LAV gives 40 WP and I think I should get some for these 3 dropships too. |

This has been a problem, aka a [Bug], for sometime. As the Devs have yet to respond I have no idea if they believe it is functioning as intended or that they simply haven't gotten around to solving it.
The current Kill Credit is based, it would appear, on the Last Two Causes for Death/Destruction*. If accurate this would cover the Kill Assist award as well.
The problem with the DS, as I see it, is that the Last Event is a Crash, the Penultimate** Event is Fire Damage. This leaves the high possibility that the Merc that caused the chain of destructive events will get No WP for it.
I have had the dubious benefit of popping a HAV and the destruction is finally realized by their burning vehicle. So, even though, I caused everything I only got the Assist for it.
Hopefully the Devs will realize this is an actual problem and find a way to resolve it.
* I killed a Gunner in a Drop Ship with a Charge Sniper Rifle and the pilot reacted violently to the event, immediately crashed, destroying the DS killing himself and the other Gunner. No points beyond the +50 for the Gunner. Bummer.
** Second to the last. |

Or maybe this difficulty to gain points for destroying dropships is to decrease the amount of kitten we take in the skies. As it is, the kittenload of kitten we kittening have to deal with really kittening gets on my kitteny nerves. Kitten. |

You showed that is not necessary. Good job.
Sorry about blowing up the Drop ships. That doesn't mean I am going to stop but I don't recall downing one of yours. I actually prefer blowing up Bolas. Just a simple way of giving those AI some balance for their constantly damaging our stuff. That and I still plan on learning how to fly the Cosmic Bricks. |

I had a few vehicle kills yesterday that I received no notification on and received no points at all despite causing the majority of the damage. The burn damage/hit the ground thing is annoying enough but to receive nothing after an intense and protracted battle is totally kittened. |

I got two full dropship kills with my swarms today and it was nice to get that rare 75 WP for each.
However, I really don't get why burn damage even exists. What exactly in these vehicles is combustible? It's way way into the future and they're still using gasoline? Dropships are powered by magnets and LAVs sure sound like they're electric. Setting on fire and then exploding just doesn't seem to make sense. |
