Shore Battery
« on: January 15, 2009, 01:15:07 AM »
Would like to see shore battery usage based on rank. Too many times a CV is hitting a  base and someone is in SB and not firing. I do not want to say it could be a spy but could  be a noob. Please make it like CV control rank.

No thank you.

I think seeing their name would be enough and perhaps a voting system for those in, "Range" to cast the person out of the battery would be sufficient.

Now that.... IS A GREAT IDEA!  Have an icon at the gun.  At least then we can see who is messing things up!

Ironically, I was against that motion in the past.

I say no to the rank idea for shore battery use.  Rank is gameable, therefore not a good judge as to whom would be better in the gun.  However providing icons above shore battery would help tremendously.  If it is an inexperienced gunner, then you can at least help them aim/shoot.  If it is something else then you can shame them as they deserve.

atleast put name icon above the battery. too many times I have been at bases and the shore battery(ies) were occupied but no rounds were going downrange and nobody answered when the " who is in the shore battery ?" was asked..

Multiple times the gun is occupied with NO GUNNER. Asleep at the wheel perhaps? A ghost or spy? Who knows. A CV can be taken away with rank why not the Shore Battery to take out a CV?

It was already stated why. Rank does not mean that the person taking charge of the battery is more experienced. It simply means the person stuck around striking particular targets to gain a number next to their callsign. I'd prefer a voting system available to those within the, "Range" of the battery which determines if the person is ejected from the battery and the person who started the vote takes the place of the individual ejected. And if that wouldn't work, simply place the callsign of the player within that shore battery above the battery.

No for voting as well. Remember what happens with .report before HTC strikes back?
Ever if some particular player utterly suck in SB he have same right to be there as anybody else for his 15$. SB isnt only way to sink CV after all.

Icon would be ok though, imho.

No.  We should not limit players ability to use things in a game.  Thats why there is the perk system.  :salute

Voting may get kinda political and some "jerks" would vote someone out. I don't think that would be realistic. Maybe an idle timer to end sortie. No shots for 5 min, bingo.


Does Hi Tec actually look at these ideas?
