FocusFocus, it's not up to what counts for you (or for me, for that matter), but what was official back then.
Officially, in ARR the destruction of an enemy aircraft in air or on the ground was considered a 'kill' (not necessarily a victory!). The number of victories awarded for the destruction of an enemy aircraft varied from 1 to 3, depending on how many engines the enemy aircraft had (1 victory for a single-engine, 2 victories for a two-engine and 3 victories for a three- or more-engine aircraft). Confirmed and unconfirmed 'kills' counted as victories, too.
Needless to say, this official rule complicates things even further...
