How about a feature along the same lines as a check six, except this one is a "Salute." I'm flying along and get into a fight with someone, and down the road the get on my six and shoot my wing off. As I'm falling down to earth, I hit a switch on my controller, and (if there's more than just him and me) wait till the little box is on his airplane info, and then he gets saluted in the text buffer and or by vox. Same goes for if a friendly clears a con off of you.
Its so much easier for me to hit a button to check six someone, and I think the same would apply here, especially if you're still in a fight, etc, instead of putting the controller down, opening the text buffer, and typing the message in, and trying to make sure you got the guys name right, with all of the specific caps and all, lol.
Whatcha think?
