Seeing Enemy Names

[ShrkBite]

Like they used to have. I think this idea would be worth trying because dont you wonder who it is who's BnZ'ing you? OR dont you want to know who your chasing down but ya just cant catch him. i say why not. how about you?

[1sum41]

you figure it out after you die

[BnZ]

I have quite the opposite opinion.

I believe if you shoot down something, you should see "Spit16 destroyed #2" or the like, and "You have been shot down"

It might make it more about the airplanes and the history and less about the egos and discourage grown men from p.m.ing each other to pursefight and otherwise act like ill-bred 8 year olds.

I agree with that 100%.

gee I guess  alt+r no longer works.

Or people are just beyond the laziness you thought possible and can't press 2 simple keys.

No.

Much better idea.

The first suggestion would not work at all. If you for some reason have a reputation (good or bad) in the game it would mean that you get treated differently than the other red dots and could actually get harrassed pretty badly and ruining the game for the player.

[ImADot]

I most definitely agree with not having names displayed for kills/deaths or icons in-flight.  I grow weary of all the crap flung across the text buffer.  Perhaps the would-be crap flingers might spend their time either trying to figure out who that other airplane was (instead of going off on 200 about the other pilot), or realize it's just a game and quietly re-up and try again (for those who got killed) or quietly move on to the next engagement (for those who did the killing).

Too many people make this game too personal.

[Denholm]

ShrkBite, think about it a little while. If you saw the name of the person running wouldn't you (and most likely everyone else) be enticed to flame the pilot running or BnZ'ing? Because of this major side-effect I don't see why HTC would even want to try to implement this feature.

I'm adding another, "no," to this request.

[SmokinLoon]

I think no "name in lights" period.  I dont think you should know who u just shot down, or who just shot u down.

The only identity that should be seen is those of your teammates while in the game.  That is it. 

[Denholm]

You need a break from the game.

Come over here, sit down, and breathe. Don't worry! Just because your 262 got BnZ'ed doesn't mean you can't get your perks back.

Indeed peoples SA will then consist of eliminating what they consider "the biggest threat" by name rather than plane type and Energy state.

Having numerous guys pile it on just because its you isnt cool.  I much prefer the AH slightly more incognito method.

The plane type idea for a kill message sounds ok.  Then there is the flipside.  There are positive points towards knowing who killed you because the civil types can then discuss the fight or know who to salute.   Do we really want a cold heartless community or one that has some banter and interaction good or bad?

[APDrone]

Like they used to have....

When was that? 

As with others.. I think knowing who the enemy is would be far too big of a distraction.
