Ship and field guns...(A bit of a whine)
« on: April 01, 2011, 02:28:45 PM »
Of course this has probably been addressed but I can`t find it.....So.....

Seriously, why are ship guns and field ack-ack not awarded something (even a token fraction of a perk) when you shoot down a plane or destroy a GV?....There is some skill involved, so what`s the reasoning?.....

Because when you die in a gun emplacement it is not scored as a death.  No risk equals no reward.

What do you want as a reward? You already get your name in lights when you die.

Perks? AAA Perks?

What would you use them on?

I award you 10,000,000,000 AAA perks, and one wooden nickel.

Risk = getting killed = someone else's gain.

No Risk = AAA = getting killed = who cares?
