Pilot career
« on: June 08, 2011, 09:03:19 PM »
One of the elements I like about the newer FPS games, is the element of accomplishments you get for your activities online.  Blow up ten tanks, get a badge.  Shoot down 50 aircraft with AAA weapons and get a medal. 

I think that this could be added to Aces High, similar to EA's Battlefield game series accomplishments (Bad Company 2 for example), that would give our players goals to strive for.

Some requirements:
- every pilot would need a page to view their stats
- medals, ribbons, bars, crests, for a variety of accomplishments - shooting down 20 fighters, bombers, or destroying tanks
- k/d ratios kill stats


Thoughts?

I saw this somewhere, recently enough... someone said something about the more 'kills' you make, the higher rank you earn. like, 600 for a flight sergeant was the example they used, i think.

Anything that would deter folks from actually fighting, I'm against.  Too many folks now only fight when they know there is no 'risk'.  For AvA or something similar it would make more sense.

Only if AH medals would be as hard to earn as real ones.

I shouldn't have one yet, but other great pilots should.  Maybe combine with the bio pages.

That wouldnt be very difficult, because we cant die.

Then for fighting off enemies with a pilot wound you get the Medal of Honor or the Distingushed Flying Cross.

in the old FA we had this. Planes, structures destroyed and mention in disptches for special events these counted for points for your rank which we dont have in AH.

Initially, I like this idea.

Warbirds had something like this - you could earn medals and advance in rank, I think.   And it kept track of your kill streak.

I liked it alot, but if AH were to implement something like this, I'd like to be able a select a profile for a particular air force, so my page would Japanese medals and ranks, or USAAF, or USN, Soviet, RAF, Luftwaffe, whatever.   But correct ranks and medals for the air force you choose (which should be switchable at any time and have eveything carry over)
