Rank is meaningless, but....

[Killjoy2]

Rank is meaningless but wouldn't it be nice if HT would post the number of kills since your last death when you land.  

Would you try harder to defeat someone with a 25 kill streak?  Would squads and attack teams organize to defend someone with a record?  I think it would make the game more fun for me and be more of an encouragement to work with a squad.

This is as close to an AH hero as we get.

This would just promote timid and crowdedness flying which we all ready have plenty of in the MA.

i agree with fatty(points up)

[Fianna]

I like the idea, but like Husky said, it would just lead to more people playing timid.

I think the countrychannel is already overloaded with all that "XXX has landed 2 kills" messages.

And if a squad needs that kind of encouragement to develop a better teamwork...

I think it wouldnt really matter. Im looking to get into a furbal not chasing some dweeb who now running because i took the last 10 mins to get co e with em, and now i finnaly got on their six, with 5 mins of fuel remainiing, and the run for home, or ack, or friendlies.

Please, just fight, it wont hurt anythign but your pride.

They need to do away with scores and put more into the strat stuff. If a target is valuable enough to the players on a team, they will defend it. Everything else will fall into place.

I think this kind of set up would only encourage spawncamping and who cares about gvs anyway.  Can you imagine XXXX has landed 20 kills in a Tiger: 167 kill streak.  LOL

 Ltars (not implying you spawn camp only that you love gvs)

No, I disagree. I already know I suck at this game. I can tell by the gravity well surrounding my aircraft when I up. I dont need HTC documenting it and broadcasting it to every soul online.

I dont think it would promote anything other than player to player verbal vomiting. Isnt there enough of that already? I am a newb so maybe I'm mistaken.

Don't think this idea would enhance game play.  More would fly timid and the EVERYDAY deliberate vulch OCCURENCES wouldn't promote ACM just a bunch of runway divers.

[Platano]

I forget why do we have Rank in the first place?

Cant we get rid of all that non-sense and just keep a tally of how many kills u have?

[Stang]

Who cares how many kills you have?  I wouldn't mind if you didn't get any recognition of kills at the end of a run.

everbody duck stang is trying to be humble!!!:O

[gsharp]

I think they should change it so you need 5 kills in a sortie for any broadcast.  Two is only hard if you are brand new.

Stang is right.
