A hypothetical question for the crowd regarding kills landed messages...

[Guppy35]

...

If you could shut off kills landed messages for yourself, would you?

I'm not talking about shutting it down for everyone, but just you, so that anytime you happened to land kills, no one would know it.  There me be 300 other people who leave it on and land 74 kills in their Spit 16 of vulching doom, but your 6 in your 51D are known only to you.

I'm just curious how important it really is to people?

Do you think you'd fly differently if you didn't get your name in lights and the 'attaboys' that follow?

Most probably.

A definite NO.

[WMLute]

I'm w/ the snail on this one.

Hmmm.  Everyone likes recogntion, whether they are big enough to admit it or not.  What's the big deal, either way, about attaboys?

Just curious Steve.  Not condemning anyone either way.  I just personally think it influences how people fly and 'fight' and I am curious as to what others think.

So in that regard how would you answer?  There is no 'right' answer.

I like to have them on but it wouldnt change my style of play at all, I fly until Im dead injured bingo fuel or ammo and rtb, sometimes i dont rtb for damage all depends on the fight

[uptown]

I don't think it's important that everyone in AH2 land knows when I landed kills although I like it when 4 or 5 from a squad do it at the same time.

I would not fly any different then I do now. I try to fly the best I can, get as many kills I can , and make it home safely. I believe this is what I'd do in real life.

Very rarely do I rearm in order to get "Uptown landed 15 kills in a P51D". Frankly I get embarrassed if I happen to land over 4 or 5 at a time.

[Soulyss]

I actually land so rarely that I don't think it would affect things one way or another.

Your right though I do know people who get 2 kills and rtb with them from all sides of the map, but I like it because people like to say they had like 8 kills that last run but they only had 4 and it just keeps integrity up

Well I'll speak only for myself.  I don't think it would influence the way I fly.

Come on... I'm sure you've gotten more than 4 or 5 without a rearm.
Or do you rtb at 5?   

[RumbleB]

I have tendency to bailout with 2-4 if I'm a sector away+bingo and just want to up and fight again.

I would turn the kills landed msg off for 2-3 kills (well I'd turn it back on if I was in c47

[BaldEagl]

I'd turn them off but it wouldn't change a thing about how I fly.

[uptown]

 Come on... I'm sure you've gotten more than 4 or 5 without a rearm.

Well I did get a couple sorties of 7 last night, 9 being a personal best with 1 clip. But I'm usually out of ammo at around 5 kills. Hell you've seen me shoot Matter of fact the last comment you made to me was "how could you miss that shot" 

[Ratpack1]

Somewhere a horse is hurting!

[Messiah]

how about one step further and remove the scoring system all together
