    Same thing that frustrated me in BF3 when it first came out.

    I'm flying around laying shot after shot into an enemy plane. I'm seeing the impacts all over his body and wings. I'm getting hits. Hits hits hits hits, more hits. No kill. Someone swoops in and robs it from me leaving me with an assist.

    Then an enemy plane gets on my tail and in one machine gun burst, takes me out. As an end user that type of experience is highly frustrating... /headbang

    There's alot that plays into that...

    1. The system of who hits last gets the kill is BS. It's not like that 100% of the time, but it's close enough that it may as well be. A better system needs to be implemented.

    2. Cannons and ammo type make all the difference. I have FAR less kills stolen when I'm flying a plane with at least 2 20mm cannons.

    3. Your angle. It's optimal to land hits not on the center mass of the planes, but rather at the engine, the wings/tail, or best yet, the cockpit. Following directly behind lowers your chance of hitting any of these save the tail. Try to come from a bit above/behind so you can land shots at the engine/cockpit area. I plan to make a vid explaining good ways to do this.

    1: Yep. The kill should go to whoever did more damage. Same for BF3. Dummies...

    2: I definitely need to start getting into more Rusky planes that have 20mm on there. The single stream peashooters are so incredibly weak.

    3: I would love to see a vid. I usually end up attacking from behind because when your chasing someone and matching their trail there is a natural tendency to end up directly behind them. I need to work on my verticle attacks for sure.

    Also, I accidentally TK'ed someone in a historic battle today. -12,000 points. MY GOD!! :O

    yeah the anti grief sistem in this game is pretty harsh I one lost 42k for acidentaly tk a BF-109 k-4 soo check our fire or go broke XD

    and going for vertical atacks is the best way to kill someone quick and clean that's how I get a Ton of kills in HB

    I hate:

    - people who intentionally ram and try to blame it on me/anything but them
    - when someone enters my lane while I am shooting an enemy and they get damaged/killed in the process.

    Not my fault you decided to be a glory/point whore

    Historical battles is pretty much hardcore in BF3, takes a lot longer though and might not be as effective when it comes to XP. I have yet to see a rammer at least./brilliant

    HB is MUCH more effective for exp, provided you're scoring good hits.
