Because there are tools in the DA that pick and run to get their names in lights; this is against the spirit of the DA.

Same kind of "pilots" you mention do it the MA too IIRC.  But I do agree, the DA is for fights be arrangement, not ambush.

I love to GV and do Jabo missions vs GVs, get used to it.  Being good at one helps in the other.

If it removes the name of the person who just killed you, I'd say "nay".  Better to at least know who you are mad at....

I know... it would be nice if there were less of them in the DA. They're never going to change in the MA.

The furball area of the DA is just that...  A furball area.  Sometimes you have a fun hour, other times you spend it in limbo...  But at least it only takes a few moments to arrive to the fight.  Take it for what it is, and you'll be happier...

What the DA *really* needs are CMs of its own...  But it's the DA, with the ol' unfair stereotype of being an ego-fest...  So I doubt that will happen.

And while we're waiting for pigs to fly, an ability for individuals to toggle killshooter on/off for themselves (so that people that shot THEM wouldn't die, not the other way around) would be great too.  I'd pay an extra $10 per month for just that option alone.

AW's system had it best, all you saw was "XXX shot down" as a system message and "A kill has been recorded" on your front end.  No system message for landing a successful flight, so no egos to inflate. 

ack-ack

Nope.  Instead you had "<Insert name here> has just pawned you" macros going off evey two seconds.  Much better.   :rolleyes:

I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

its a good idea for DA to many a6m pilots brag, and its not only them too, and it always starts fights

I spend majority of my time in DA . Must fly under different names .Could care less about kills message . What I wonder about is all the generalisation . I find most in DA are individuals not falling into any lump catagory .

i can see where your going with this, but what do you do when you just waxed 4 a/c and are out of ammo? do you just auger, fly around and dodge bullets? landing kinda makes sense to me at times and everyone of you that speak for this "removal" are also guilty of the same thing. everyone does it, everyone.

Wrong never been to the DA so not EVERY ONE does it.
