I've noticed when taking down helicopters and the pilots bail, sometimes they'll land ~splat~ on the floor. I check my score after that and see I got two kills. 0.o

It's happened more than once, especially when choppers try to leave for the helipad. They explode, and you see two names are no more, and two kills for you.

Happens with me sometimes if I shoot a heli at the start of a round with a GL or something as it's flying off. I get 2 teamkills if they crash later on.

I've bailed out of a full blackhawk that was going to crash and since i touched it last, I got 5 teamkills when it ran into the ground.

That is why sometimes I will shoot at a heli that is smoking or is on fire. Sometimes I will end up getting the kill after they crash.

That's a good strategy. I'm in the habit of shooting them because it annoys them anyway, so if they've already been hammered by someone, a few rounds of 7.62mm nets me a pair of kills.

Yea, but when you shoot a smoking chopper like that and get the kills, you get the message:

You [Blackhawk] them

normally. But he's asking when they die and it says "they" are no more.

I'd assume that when you get that message, it counts as a suiside for them. So if you're getting points for that, be happy.

Actually, I tend to get the weapon name on the kills. If you get the vehicle name, you've made a roadkill.

If you shoot a flaming copter with your pistol you will get a you[gun]them message. If they bail just before the explosion then technically the copter kills them BUT since no one is in the copter it counts the last person to damage it, which would be you. Same with shooting some one right before they jump over a wall and fall a little ways. Normally the fall wouldn't kill them but since they were damaged by you they die. It doesn't count as a suicide as long as they jump quickly enough after you have shot them. No idea what the timer is on that though.

iv shot at a J10 with a G36c when it was on fire and then got the kill, eveyones liek "OMFG H4X!!"

the person who gets the kill is the person who does damage to the vehicle last, no matter how small the damage is, but iv never experienced what you described cyrax-sektor...

Ditto, it often says Ive taken out a heli with an MP5 or whatever. All guns do damage them, just very very slightly so it counts as a hit.

No but it does count for an assist sometimes.

I think that this is the correct answer here.

Not really, if you get the last hit just before they die you often do get the kill when they crash or fall,

if you did significant damage and they suicide a little later, that's when you get the assist.
