******** landed X kills in a...

Please bump this up to five kills minimum instead of two. Thank you.

Or at least a threshold of  x kills plus x perks............ (should get rid of  the ground gun atta boys)

Better yet, allow each person to enable or disable their landing/kill messages.

I'd turn mine off in a heartbeat...

I am asking this because I think it may help with the hoing race to get those two kills and get home which I think might be pushing people to shoot and run. Probably a few more people would try to play it safer but I think the majority would ease up on the hyper-ganging and ho-everything-in-sight mentality.

5  ?  make it 10, 

only uber sorties and uber vulchers will get to land then.

No 5 would allow the 202s E4s and Hurr1s a chance to play too or they would be permanent hangar queens.

If you don't want to see the messages all you have to do is .squelch 6 and they disappear.

whats the re-arm pad for?     people fly those planes for fun i doubt they would want to land 5 kills in it, bar showing off i do that with the spit1.

plus i still believe those rides shouldn't be in LATE war, when Htc went back on his idea and re-enabled them in LW, after the split, LW just became the old MA with an arena cap. killing EW and MW before they had a chance.   hopefully he will fill the gaps in the planeset and try again.

It doesn't disable the messages, you just don't see them.

I'd like to turn mine off altogether, the few times I actually get to land.

I like this idea.

They don't care, it bothers them that ANYONE can see them.

It never ends in here.

It wouldn't surprize me to see complaints about the color of the sky in here.

Absolutely amazing.

  Agreed. As William Shatner once said, "Get a life!"

you girls crack me up!

Well, the concern is that the "2 or more kills landed" message is partly responsible for what is perceived as bad gameplay.  What is bad gameplay?  An example might be someone who only fights when in a group or with lots of extra altitude, always dives to ack when he's about to lose a 1vs1 fight, etc.  Everyone does these things now and then. Everyone has ganged, been an altitude monkey, or hugged ack at one time or another.  And that's fine so long as it's not rigid behavior, but when it becomes rigid behavior it hurts the game.

Are kill messages responsible for it?  I don't know, but when you're new to the game it sure is cool to get your name in lights.  It feels like you've arrived.
