Author Topic: Sinking a CV, credit for killing manned gunners (Read 1746 times)

Since folks who man ship guns can get credit for shooting down aircraft/vehicles, it would seem reciprical that when someone gets the kill ("Ship Destroyed"), they also are credited for the manned gunners they eliminated with the vessel.

Eye for an eye

Maybe the same for manned ack elsewhere?

Sounds good to me. If the attacker must risk being KILLED by the gunner, then the gunner should risk being KILLED by the attacker.

I think this sounds great

Thanks!

I asked my fellow squadmates about this last night. After a lot of "Hmmm's", they suggested I post it here.

I've always found it odd that someone mannnig a field gun could score points killing you, but not visa-versa.

I would like to elaborate my initial post a bit: If a person bombs a CV and takes out some manned guns, they get the "kill" credit for killing those who were manning them. As WELL as whatever remaining gunners are killed when someone finishes them off remaining gunners, etc.

I'm not sure I'm being very concise, but I think you guys follow.

Yes, it's been requested not too long ago. I myself requested it (and no doubt it was requested many times before me

). It is an idea whose time has been long awaited.

You get points for manageing to hit a quad 20 equipped aircraft moving at 300 miles per hour? I think I've been getting rooked.

I don't think there's any scoring (points) or ranking related to gun emplacements. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking there is only a total of kills as a gunner.

Anyway, seems harmless enough, anything with a player manning/occupying that gets whacked scores as a kill. No more gunners getting credit for catching a rocket in the face. And of course, the more sinister reason behind my supporting this; we could use this as a rationale to reward chute killers. Brilliant!

There is no credit for any kills in a bomber, and I believe you already get the object destruction points tallied when sinking the cv. You get your name in lights for 'victories' (those would be virtual, virtual kills??), but no credit is awarded or tallied in any way for victories in bombers.

If in a Gun Ship or Field Gun you do not wat so ever get any Perks, just a heap of kills

I too think this is looooooong over due!!!!!!!!!!

And no, I have never gotten perks for killing a plane/GV in a gun emplacement.

Me and my sweetheart Kate, love to crack hulls in half.

Take a few with us would be sauce for the goose

No points of any kind are recieved for field guns or ship guns.
( I found that odd when it was introduced, but never got around to asking why)

I definately support the idea...Technically the gunners are not on pavement so at best shouldnt they all be getting ditches =)
