Unfortunately, ever since Assault Horizon came, named aces are no longer important. The aces you see in this game are just markers. Every mission update has a name, the aces are just there to give the players a clue : what kind of mission update they get. The named ones have the same score as the unnamed ones. They are not more difficult to shoot down than the unnamed ones. An exception is of course Loudmouth since it's only a jammer-transport. Their planes only use the 2nd color of the planes in Assault Horizon, you don't get anything special for shooting them down. About the kill-stealing, the points are now based on the remaining health of the enemy. If you reduce an enemy health to nearly one-gun-shot-to-kill, and the enemy is taken down by an ally, the ally will only get their points based on the remaining health, which is very low. While you, who made the effort sometimes get the Kill Confirmation Bonus. You already get the enemy's points as you reduce their health.
