New idea for perks when killing in guns/cv

[falcon23]

I think a 0.05 perk for kills in guns is really reasonable...

[Ack-Ack]

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

It wouldn't ruin my fun but you're asking for a reward for taking on no risk at all.  Currently, if you are in a gun emplacement and it gets destroyed, your death doesn't count towards you at all.  It's not scored as a death, if you have kills when your gun emplacement is destroyed your sortie is counted as a successful landing and get your name in lights.  It would be no fair to those that drive vehicles or fly planes if those in gun emplacements get perks for basically sitting on their tulips taking no risks. 

You want perks for sitting on your bellybutton all day in a gun emplacement?  Sure, but when you die your death is counted against you.

No Risk = No Reward

IMO I would make the concession that if I jumped in a manned gun and was killed it counted against me, only if I was earning perks for kills made in the gun.  Nothing risked, nothing gained.

+1 if ^ is implemented

[falcon23]

well,then it would have to be a pretty serious perk,as guns are VERY,VERY easy to kill..the easiest thing to kill in-game..so..5 perks per kill instead of .05???

 And again these perks can be MOVED to any of the other options..i.e. fighter/gv/bomber...

-10  No, get out and earn them like everyone else that fights for them above 100 ft.

Perks should be given just as the same as how perks are awarded for killing GVs and planes, it's dependent on the plane you kill.

I believe he said coad it so there is a "risk".
Also, weather or not your in a plane, GV or field gun, your still just sitting on your ass.

No Risk ever, at all, because its just a game

[minke]

My personal take is that there should be a perk/death cost for all manned ack and a/c gunners. Possibly even having a seperate score and perk system such as 'gunnery' to allow for future stuff like perked ords or even artillery.

 DADS leave the attitude in the game..

 There is nothing to use perks on if you can get them with a gun,so my suggestion is to have them to use for a rainy day,or any other reason..and you missed my first post dads..I rarely if ever get in field guns,so its really not myself I am looking out for..

There isnt any attitude, its a simple reply to a statement that screams "make it easy for me", "what can I get with little or no effort or risk", etc etc....  

Just like what has been said, No Risk = No Reward.  

Take a Risk like Death counting against you = You get a reward.

EASY??? for very few I believe it is easy to hit planes in guns,unless in 5inchers,and then nothing is guaranteed,but it is VERY EASY to kill gun emplacements on fields,and even on cv's..

[Rino]

     So what would you use your perks on if you are going to squat in field guns and 5 inch batteries all the time?

[falcon23]

the gunning perks would be moveable..you could use  them under other headings..fighter/gv/bomber..

Yes it will increase the amount of  "gun sitters"   why up a plane and fight when you can sit in your toasty gun emplacement without fear of getting killed or penalised and then make a meal out of some guy who has put in the effort of flying 10 minutes to target.  

There are far too many gun/tower sitting coward dweebs as it is!
