Put it back the bomber kill display
« on: December 03, 2009, 05:18:42 PM »
It has already been said by many people, showing the numbers value of a bomber run is pointless, either put it back to what is was or show the ground damage that was created by the bomber, including the kills ground or air. If a bomber sortie status when landing must be shown or some kind of record of such on the text buffer screen, then let it be meaningful, a bunch of numbers! I don't know, do I give a WTG for those nice numbers,  :headscratch:  just doesn't seem to cut the cheese for me as a practicable accomplishment display for whoever lands them.

+1        Wish I would have noticed this thread a little earlier.  I just made a thread stating about the same thing.  The text chat is always scrolling up for somebody's accomplishments.  Those millions of bomber points ain't going to make it easier for a guy to give someone a wtg, or a wtf.  Some sort of drop/hit ratio would be ideal IMHO.  I'm sure that's what those big numbers represent, but come on. 
Why not take it a step further and give the bombers and fighter a dedicated text color.

I agree... I like the fact that bombers get some calls now... but I'd like to see something a bit more representative and a bit less spammy.


First off... overall damage isn't a problem, so long as it has a lower limit.... right now it seems like everything gets posted.

Secondly... I'd like a hanger/building count over a damage count.

example:
Swatch landed 4 hangers, 2 strats, 3 guns, 5 buildings in a B-24
or
Swatch landed 2 ships in a B-24
or
Swatch landed 2 kills, 4 hangers, 22 buildings in a B-24

Hangers are Vehicle, Fighter, Bomber hangers.
Strats are radar, troop barracks, ord bunkers, trains, etc.
Guns are auto-ack, manned ack, 8" or 5" guns
Buildings are town buildings, strat buildings
Ships are any CV group ships
Kills are planes, vehicles, or pt boats (same as now)
