Waldemar Kurtz 1 Posted July 11, 2009 does anybody else have the experience of getting victories that they didn't claim? I've had it happen twice to one pilot. I shot down 5 enemy machines in a single sortie--but all but two these were made behind my lines with no witnesses. I definitely shot down two in flames, but couldn't tweak the second claim enough to have the manager accept it as valid. so, frustrated as I was, I put in a claim for a single victory and called it good. later on in the campaign I was given credit for two victories in spite of having made only one claim. I mentioned two aircraft in that single claim--but I specifically pointed out that only one machine went down in that claim. a week or so later, I shot down two enemy machines--and again, could only get the claims forms to accept ONE of the two claims. but when that victory was confirmed I was given another victory as well. so, what I'm wondering is, why wouldn't the claims form accept these additional victories--but the manager awarded claims that I didn't make? my best guess is that since this was a Bristol Fighter career that my observer must have scored some kills in the presence of my wingmen and these 'ghost claims' were added to my score.

Olham 164 Posted July 12, 2009 Yes, perhaps - you should read the notes inbetween missions, when on a blackboard, those new appear about other flight members or wingmen, and their claims. Maybe your observer makes own claims - Winder or Pol could tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 414 Posted July 12, 2009 Ah the fog of war :) Hard to say really without seeing the actual claim and details, did you switch settings from realistic claims to easy or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
