I actually do agree with him.  Though, it would be hard to guage for what to credit upon landing.

id have to agree with you guys, a couple of times i would up a lanc and go up to 20-23k, one long butt flight.  Grab 16 1kers and take down ALL nme vhs on a large tank town map.  knocking down 21 or so vhs from 20k is a pretty good job if you ask me.

From what I understand bombers DO get some reward. Points. And perk points.

Something like what was said before "Pong1 destroy two FH" or "Pong1 destroyed 60% of field A23". Something like that would be nice. While were on the subject, what about a attaboy for someone who sucessfuly leads a bombing raid? Or creates and leads a sucessful Bombing mission?

He's right.  After long and tiring flights caused by milk running undefended bases and smiting the tool sheds that were the target of their ire, the bomber pilots should receive some recognition for their prowess at blowing up buildings from 25,000ft or using a formation of Lancasters as dive bombers.  

As the saying does, "Fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history" so to recognize their efforts, a I think it's only fitting they do get some type of recognition.

So I propose for those bombers that have shown significant skill  and determination to seek that that undefended base and bomb the vile tool sheds to oblivion should be eligible for a special reward.  It can't be just any special reward either like those system messages those "fighter jocks" get, no, it must be far more than that.  They need their own flag to mount on their planes, to let the others know that "there is an elite bomber pilot in this plane."   A flag they can wave proudly to show that they're "Loud, bombers and here." and I can think of no better flag than this.

The Official Tool Shed Warrior's Rainbow Flag of Elite Excellence in the field of Milkrunning and Tool Shed Destruction.




This way it will inspire the bombers to achieve greater heights as they keep reaching for that rainbow.

I smell a troll ^

Yea we get perks...about 2 for taking down 7 vhs. And have to use perks on ar234.

I like the idea of having buffer say
System: So and So successfully landed 3 FH killes in a B-17 of so and so squad.

i am all for the idea if they have to tune to a special channel to see these messages, keep the 'SYSTEM:' messages for people who can land real kills.
