The player crewing the vehicle could well still be alive and not have a kill scored against him at the same time as you get a kill for killing his vehicle. Crew RTB status is based on being alive. Vehicle kill status is based on whether or not the vehicle sustained critical damage or not and it's ability to continue it's basic mission objective after that damage was sustained. Naturally, what represents a "kill" on a vehicle is thus variable depending on how it was damaged and what it's basic mission function is.

	~~==Known bugs==~~

	~~You will encounter an old scoring bug from time to time, we hope to get rid of this year. This is how it likes to annoy us.~~

	If you set a vehicle on fire, or blow it up, by striking the fuel tanks or ammunition storage WITHOUT hitting a critical kill component with your bullets or ammunition at the same time, or during the same attack but after setting it on fire, or blowing it up, the kill code will trace the crew death back to the fire/explosion as the cause of death, but cannot step back the second stage and find YOU as the cause of why the thing caught fire or blew up in the first place.

	It's a bug, we hate it as much as you do and we'll fix it when we can. If however, you set a vehicle on fire, or blow it up, and your ammunition DID destroy a critical kill component before it blew up or caught fire, the kill code will appear to award you for the fire or the explosion, but really it rewarded you for the critical kill component you destroyed. The fact that you see the fire or explosion as the reason you got a kill is not what really happened.

	~~LATE UPDATE (v1.28 live release)~~

	Jan.27th 2008 - we fixed the critical kill fire bug. If you flame a vehicle you will be awarded the kill on it. We're not absolutely certain about exploding ammunition yet, that might still be suffering the same bug fires were.
