Arena Damage Announcements... Questions and Comments.

[Lusche]

Blatant attempt to rob the bomber pilots of their new found glory!  

In the current implementation, there ain't much glory, just a bunch of numbers too huge to be recognized at a glance


IMO -
- there there should be transparency, i.e. at least make those numbers equivalent to score points and not strange gazillion numbers
- set a minimum level. I saw people land anything from 10000 to 20000000
- formatting! Make it 153K instead of 153785 or 1230K instead of 1230187 points
- At least kills in attack mode should be announced again, or better yet: Kills of planes & GV in atack mode, kills of planes in bomber mode (it IS quite an achievement to land 4 or 5 kills in a bomber!)

I'd rather see for buffs :System: Snailman landed 43 structures in a B-17G or something to that effect.  Yes I know it could be an ack gun or whatever, but for right now just seems like buffer spam.

I wasnt talking about AKPs post but the posts from guys that could care less about bombers and you know who I mean.

If there is one thing I dislike more than random non qualitative numbers, it's agreeing with the man who said this! 

I find it amusing and a waste of buffer space

[Crash Orange]

If we're going to get anything in lights for buffs, I really think we should see announcements for CVs and escorts sunk. That's much tougher than flattening hangers or strats: ships move, they shoot back, and they're  more likely to be defended.

It seems like a easy way for the new guys to get their names "in the light" Just in 2 hours I saw more zip codes on the buffer then I ever have, unless they were asking for help

Eventually a standard will be set in everyone's mind for an uber run,  good run, average run, weak run, etc. as ppl become more familiar with the numbers. It has already started in this very thread with Stodd bragging about his 20 million points compared to the others that posted numbers.

Having said that, it would be better to have it match the scoring but still, it is just a comparison of numbers that become familiar only because of how they relate to each other and the intrinsic change will only be in the magnitude of the number. .02 from a rare bomber pilot.

P.S.  Stodd, you go girl!  LOL.  :smile

It's also not very nice to take GV kills landin announcement away from Il2's and b-25's...

Please fix HTC...

It was aimed at dave and shuffler's replies that it's "a waste of space"

I'm with them on this.

A20 and B25 kills should display in attack mode in my opinon.

For example, Snaphook, or Cobia38: Two dedicated A20 pilots would use their aircraft in attack mode as a dogfighting machine. Seems unfair to stope them landing their kills.



+1 for attack mode landing kills and bomber mode landing points.

[horble]

Perhaps change it to 'XXXXXXX destroyed XXX buildings in a XXXX'?

[Shuffler]

I'm still waiting to see if you don't get full points if you bail.....

[DCCBOSS]

I think this would be the best way { xxx destroyed 4 hangers, 3 vehicles & one air kill in 24b or soemthing like that }

[DMBEAR]

Can you squelch damage messages?

If not, I'd like to be able to.

[hubsonfire]

waste of text buffer space.
