Just because you can land 3,5,10 a sortie does not mean someone who has been playing 1-12 months can land 2+. And they are the ones who do need to see there names in lights. This little thing can keep them coming back and learning the game instead of getting hammered so hard they quit in disgust at getting killed all the time. Your right, landing 2+ kills isn't hard *if* you know what your doing and how to do it but your forgetting what it was like to land your first 2+ kills and maybe even your first kill.
lots of us have been flying AH (and it's predecessors) for 10-20 YEARS. if we want the young-uns to learn and continue they need a carrot to offset padding our scores.

i have to completely disagree with all of that... because yeah landing 2 victory's is great and awesome the first time but then they just stick to that...then you have tempest/hurricanes/110s/190(205s)/la7s/mossi/hoers and ramers pickers who get 2 kills and run home even if they have enough fuel and ammo for 10+ fights few people rarely step out and actually try to get better at something instead they will useally get a plane with more cannons and fire from even further out next time should they have died
for example 2 days ago i was flying a yak encountered a c205 who has been playing 15+months first pass he hos me and runs into me...i lose my tail his plane is fine i go back up same thing only i lost a wing and he collided with me vertically his plane was fine yet again...i up again and he goes and runs home to land his 2 hos/rams even though he had enough ammo to stick around for another 2-3 fights and fuel for probably 5 and after he landed instead of re upping he ran to a manned 37mm sat in it and waited to try to shoot me down once i chased his buddy over a v-base...
i think when it becomes more important to go land your 2 kills when your plane is fine and you have enough fuel/ammo its a prob...as it takes away allot from combat also you would see a decrease in ramming and hoing as people who really do want they're name in lights wont be willing to risk it as currently they do because a plane can survive 2 collisions and 2 hos but when you get 3-4-5 at 3 rams its a 99% chance u lose an FCC at 3 hos you have about a 75% chance of dieing(should they return fire) at 4 collisions your 99.5% going to lose a FCC and more around 90% for dieing when hoing at 5 rams your dead and at 5 hos you have about a 98% of dieing
as for pickers id say each time you drop in on someones six your chance of dieing goes up by about 15%
point is because of this the people who ram and ho with a 5 victory requirement will have to learn how to do something else to get they're name in lights and pickers wont be landing much either
could this have a negative effect? yes
could this have a very positive effect and improve game play? yes
is they're anyway of knowing the outcome until its implemented? no
are all the hoers pickers and ramers going to whine? absolutely
+1 all and all i like the idea
