Landing buffs after dropping a CV

[medic341]

I am one of those guys that just loves  to search out an enemy cv and kill it, as you know this takes time and skill.

Would it be possible to have PLAYER ??? landed CV184 kill come up in the text buffer?

Salute and thank you,

So you want to be awarded for using a newbie tactic never implemented in WWII?

I'm not sure if it was used in WWII, but it sure is in this game.

And it's no newbie tactic bro. Killing a enemy cv parked on one of your bases can and will save your country a base capture.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Most people I know will dump all 14x1000lb x3 bombs on one carrier, most likely dive bombing it...that's pretty noobish to me.

And die doing it,your right.

I come in at a minimum of 10K drop the cv and do my best to kill any upping cons omw to land, bro.

It'd be nice to get SB/gun scores... This wish is kinda along those lines. Don't think it will happen, but a good thought Medic.

Level bombing carriers was in fact implemented in WWII, i.e. Battle of Midway, during one of the first strikes midway launched all of its B-17 force it had just received against the Jap. fleet. None hit their targets but it was in fact used a number of times.

Thank you Ace good to know

If it was used a number of times than maybe you could give more examples than just Midway.

If a dive bomber or torpedo bomber does not get a player killed CV message why should a level bomber get a kill message? If you're as skilled as you say you are and kill the opposing fighters as you say you do then isn't player landed however many air to air kills in his B-whatever enough accolades?

Battle of midway there were 9 B-17's used on the initial attack on the Japanese fleet!
B-25's were used through out the war to hit shipping and the British used heavy bombers to hit ships!

Check your facts before you answer a post!

This thread is going the wrong way.

The wish is about being credited for sinking a CV.
How the CV is being sunk has nothing to do with this subject. If you menage to kill a CV, by any means, your kill will be highlighted in the textbuffer.

Lancstuka'd or torped makes no difference.

Long overdue IMO that Bombers get recognition for being bombers, not killing other planes.

Be it killing task force, dropping hangers, killing town. Landing message needs to be changed please!

Pearl Harbor.

Not all of the US Naval ships that were damaged/destroyed were hit by the Japanese Zeros. If you knew your history, the Japanese assault force that hit the harbor was a mix of bombers and fighters.

yes it was a mix of DIVEbombers and fighters, NOT level bombers.... read your history 

I think bombing a CV is dweebish too, but only because I like the fights that happen when the planes up that close together. I'm not there to kill the CV or take the base.

Seeing its a game, and getting your name in lights is one of the rewards I think the OP has a good suggestion. The only thing that really would need to be added is an alt limit. As long as you killed the target from OVER 10k you get the "name in lights", if under, you get nothing, not even point/perks     I hate dive bombing bombers!

Why not? A kill is a kill right?
Besides, the D3A, Ju-87 and SBD ingame are bombers aswell, and usually trigger their bombs well under 10k. Wouldn't they deserve a highlight either?
Stuka'ing a Lancaster or B-24 is dweebish, but still gets the job done.
