Most of the time if the sinking is reported on country, (which it should be) you get the same effect.  Don't see how this would add anything to the game...

Nope.

I am all for doing away with the "name in lights" thing, or at a minimum I dont need to know who I shot down. I'm getting tired of reading "You shot down Joker" and "You shot down Pacerr".  It gets old.   ;)

But seriously, I dont think I need to know and they dont need to know who shot who down.

Nice try. No my suggestion was to fix the 'sickness' in the main arena that you and others like you suffer from. And it might help to slow down the whining on 200 too not that I care about that.

I just want to get my name in lights for flying more than 5 minutes.

"System: FenderJ has successfully flown for more than 5 minutes"

Now that I'd like.

Eh, no. I love bombing, but I get enough attaboys on country channel for sinking a CV.

Only positive thing I could hope to come out of this is that if their names get in lights, perhaps they won't Lanc-Stuka the CV and try a more survivable approach.

What's next? "some name blew up the fh at a21"? I wish I could turn off the whole text buffer all together. I don't want to know who I killed or killed me.

There should be no accolades for anything that does not involve human opponents, and even then, the bar needs to be raised a bit, just to cut down on the crap. This constant need for attention and positive reinforcement for the simplest, most idiotic tasks (not just in games) is rather pathetic.

I kind of agree. Ships are hard targets to hit, and it deffinitly has an effect on your opponents capabilities, I'd enjoy seeing it IFF you are able to RTB and LAND...
