New idea for perks when killing in guns/cv

[falcon23]

OK..its a bit rough,but basically what would happen is that one would get a flat perk for killing in field guns or cv guns and it would have its own heading,like oh...KILLSHOTS or something like that..well it could either be adjusted for eny or not,BUT the thing which would be cool is that the KILLSHOT perks could be MOVED to any other heading.i.e.  fighter/bomber/gv..I think this would be a great thing for those who are really good in those guns,and just for the record,I am NOT...so this is actually for the guys who kill me..

Maybe, but only if your ship gets destroyed you don't land the kills.

Maybe if you also get scored as a death when said gun is destroyed while still in it.  Otherwise, there is no risk to sitting in a manned gun so there should be no reward for kills scored with it.

You don't face any risks in a gun emplacement, so there shouldn't be any rewards.

risk to what ack ack?? no different than flying a plane..and I could see losing perks if you get killed in it...but it is very easy to kill the guns also,so have to adjust for that...

There is no risk at all manning a gun emplacement compared to driving a GV or flying a plane.  When your emplacement gets blown up, it doesn't score it as a death and if you have killed, it is treated as though it's a successful "sortie".  Please explain to me where the risk is in that.

ok.well it could be coded..but sorry you disagree,I am just throwing it out there.,,do you not man guns??if so.wouldnt u like to earn some small perk,and if you dont,why care??

I don't bother with manning ack guns, but that still doesn't change the fact that if you don't have the same risks as those that drive GVs or fly a plane then you shouldn't be rewards like those that  do.

+1

lets maybe give a flat 0.05 perk for every kill scored in a gun..the gunners in this game deserve something..I mean I have tried it and scored some kills,but the guys who are consistent truly deserve something,and maybe this will get other people to want to up in guns as well and learn another aspect of the game..

My thought on this is if we ever had towed artillery, then earning perks in the manned guns could be used to acquire the artillery pieces.

As long as those in a gun emplacement are killed their sortie is counted as a death (which it isn't currently) and not a successful landing as it is now.

would it really ruin your fun ack ack if this was implemented???and if so..HOW?

[minke]

If it counts as a death when killed then you should get a large amount of perks when shooting stuff down. They are too easy to kill.

Agreed.
