Something similar happened to me, I was playing AT with DAO-12 and got a kill with G36E.
Also I've got loads of "Driver Kill Assists" With C4!

Did you not know pistols paint a laser on your target for aircraft to run into? I guild them into palm trees all the time!

All seriousness aside, you must have done like 80% damage to the guy, and the plane simply finished him off.. I'd assume the pilot got an assist point. At least I hope so, after him sacrificing millions of dollars worth of equipment + his life to help your cause.

you hit the plane just before it hit him and exploded.  since you were the last person to damage the plane, the game thinks you blew it up.  so when it hit him and exploded, since youre the one who blew it up, you get credit for the kill.

Yeah you're correct. And in my example the pilot wouldn't even get an assist if he only contributed 20% of damage, since you need to deal over 50% to get the assist.

Clarification for when you shoot a plane with a regular firearm...

If the pilot stays in the jet when it blows up it says:

playerX [killed] playerY
If the pilot jumps out and the plane explodes while he's still right next to it, it says (in the case of an F35):

playerX [F35B] playerY

replace "killed" with the name of the weapon/vehicle used though...

Not necessarily.  Ever shot down a blackhawk with an assault rifle that was already flaming?  The guys who stay in get "[killed]" and the ones that jump out and get killed by the explosion get "[Blackhawk]".

Or if you fire a rifle at a plane/chopper that immediately afterwards hits the ground/obstacle, they get "[killed]", too.

Try it.

nice, handheld F35!

I shot a jet with the M24 and it ran into the blackhawk on the carrier giving me the kill

This is totally off topic, but some pilots simply can not get enough of them coconuts. I swear, if the game kept track of death by those killer trees, the number of deaths would surpass the number of AA kills ever made.

Aircraft's predator list:

1. Other aircraft (Including friendly jets flying into your own airfield)
2. Killer trees
3. No fly zone
4. Lag

...and finally

5. AA

You outa be kidding me.

1. Killer trees (by far) lethal against all flying objects
2. Other flying objects
3. No fly zone (shared place with: )
3. The airfield or carrier... I swear they have a build in magnet, come to close and it has you in it's tractor beam.
5. lag
6. lucky pistol or other small arms

AA? Does it actually kill airplanes? Occasionally a helicopter, but an airplane?

Have to agree with Robin Hood.  AA isn't even a contender when it comes to knocking down enemy aircraft.  I'd believe the RIB's and Jet ski's outta SF (Yeah, I know. There are no planes in SF.) to have a statistically better chance of killing an airplane.  Unless of course you're speaking of your teammates plane, then your AA missle's shot:kill ratio goes to almost unmissable status.

today on wake island i was shooting at a black hawk with a tank landed 1 shell in him while i was shooting my machine gun waiting on the reload im guessing a plane ran into him but i got the kill by J10 and i was in a T90 i believe. J10 is that an american plane? or chinese im not a pilot so i dont pay to much attention to the type of plane im running from
