Naz, well done!

You will be awarded your points after the player has landed and respawned if your hits didn't result in a immediate kill/crash/bailout.
You won't always be informed of the player and it will therefore be listed as an AI. You may have to wait some time but you will get the points/kill credit.

On that basis I never chase down after scoring hits and keep my altitude/ammo and wait to get the points later or share them if someone else picks that damaged ac up and finishes it off. However, keep your eyes peeled as even an ac with glycol or fuel leaking can sometimes fly just well enough to have a second crack at you - usually they head back to their base.
