So that is why my tank kills never register ? I was wondering why that was...

Pretty sure if you DC from a game (quit, shut PS3 off, etc) all stats are recorded, suits you lost in game are lost, and all points you gained, SP and ISK, are lost. At least that's how it's been up until now as far as I know.

Oh if you kill someone it registers regardless, however the pilots often jump out and recall the vehicle so quickly that you won't get a kill. Happened a few times today, in the time it took me to fire another swarm (that would have been the killer), the tank was suddenly gone.

Pathetic.

And yes, any deaths (etc) that you have before logging off still register. My problem is the ones who are spraying a location with a sniper rifle, realise they have been scoped, jump into cover (or run around in circles) and log off.

correct

If you put a decent amount of damage on the tank they can't recall it until it's repp'd to a certain level. ATM as no tank can survive well against proto av in it's numerous forms, this will continue with the basic tanks on the field. This tank faggotry should stop when we finally get advanced tanks.

Until then paper thin tanks (ADV and proto av) will judge damage taken and run to recall. I hate tanks that run well into redline so u can't get the kill. Instead of using natural cover on the field and getting back in the fight

Yes but he is talking about logging off when things heat up, before you die.

Got logged off by downtime yesterday and got the suits i lost back from that fight, that is fair and unexpected from ccp tbh

For those complaining about vehicle recall, while it's annoying can I point you to insta swapping suits at supply depoys

Getting logged out by DT is different, nothing counts in the match when that happens. You could run all officer gear, die 100 times, and get it all back as long as the match did not end before downtime DCed you.

Pre-DT matches are different. There is no way that I am aware of that saves your vehicles, ISK, SP, suits or whatever if you leave a match (or get randomly DCed).

is ONE supply depot in each map.. is a bit different than " Do it everywhere you want "

The principle is the same, you can bet that if infantry could do the same they would every single chance they got, and if you made a vehicle user recall well then you've done your job and removed the vehicle from the field haven't you?

... Duck into cover and do an instant recall...

Yep, you are correct leukoplast, my problem is those who leave the match before they lose items/clones, when this looks like its going to be inevitable.

Edit: I believe what Nalhe is referring to is teams that leave a match just before it ends if it looks like they are going to be on the losing side. The match shouldn't be recorded on their Corporation stats from memory? Clones lost etc would still register of course.

I had some pathetic loser recall a free militia LAV on me today.

Sorry.. no... just no ...Get 20 kills, wait to you armor is about 50%, run away behind a building, recall you tank, and call it again 15 seconds later..that is broken, stupid, and another unbalance BS that CCP needs to fix.

As per subject line. Amazing how many sad cases in this game log off or recall their tanks when it suddenly looks like they are about to come under fire.

Sniper killed a few and doesn't want a death to spoil their KDR? Logoff

Tank been badly damaged when the enemy finally starts to shoot back? Duck into cover and do an instant recall.

Words cannot describe the contempt I hold you all in if you do this.

Don't bother telling me all snipers do that either - my main is a sniper and never logs off just because it looks like i've been spotted. Most don't in fact.

I know this was a problem in EVE, the term 'Logoffski' was coined there - rightly or wrongly the RA was blamed for creating this technique.

Personally I believe the new vehicle recall is a disease - make them wait 15 seconds or more and they may actually think about what they are doing. Infantry who log mid battle should lose their fit and have a kill recorded against them.

Now got that off my chest
