Don't care for it myself, I like to know who I just shot down or who got me, particularly after a good brawl.  Had a nice little fight with Chanz last night, I came out on the upper end that particular time but I can tell next time it could go the other way. 

When it was all done we exchanged a couple <S>'s and congradulated each other on a good fight.  To me that is one of the strong points of the game, meeting and getting to know the people who put of a good and entertaining fight when you run into them.  Many of my current friends and even some squaddies are people who used to club me like a baby seal whenever I ran into them.  It's an important part of community building IMHO.

Not sure. It would take something away from the game I think. Ive gotten used to the 'need you over here to kill xxxx' calls.

To be honest, the "name in lights" bit is really fun.  It's fun to see who's having a good fighting day, plus those people that land kills in a 40 ENY aircraft are always impressive. :cool:

Maybe make it an option. Honestly, I can't tell you who I shot down last or who shot me down last.

I doubt that will even happen. If it did, there would be a lot of disappointed players. That's the last thing HTC wants.

I'm against this. Every once in a while there are absolutely brilliant fights that occur. A lot of the people who are flying at the time won't think to hit Alt + R. So when the fight is finished and the dust clears, obviously one of the two pilots will want to salute the other and tell them what a great fight it was.

With this feature implemented that would no longer be possible unless you open the film to get the pilot's name. And I don't know of too many people who would want to spend an extra 2 minutes just to salute another pilot.


How about this, you get the option of them seeing your name when you/they die? Would be nice. And would be a way to make those people with Ego's even more mad, cuz they have no clue who HO'd/Killed them :P :D

If it really doesn't matter to you, keep em on.
No one knows what the future may bring.

Keep the you killed/You were killed by messages.  Dump the name in lights stuff for all I care.  It is the fight I am after, not the stats. :aok

Couldn't have put it any more spartan than this.   x2
