perk point threshold for attaboys

[Karnak]

Karnak please try to engage some thought to this.

You know that most of the players are not able to land many kills at all. While those that do many times get a string of "wtg's" in the text buffer. The weak complaint here is that the wtg's force tactical information to scroll off the screen (mostly who you just killed). However there is another side to this and that is the players that want to see their names displayed. Now here is the hard part for you (so far).

What effect will this have on the plane types the players that wish to have their names in light will fly? And then consider the types of planes Tilt flies (and myself too). Its like allowing late war planes in mid war.

Bad idea.

I've no idea what tilt flies as I didn't check.  I know what you fly because you advocate for it to be buffed constantly.

Personally I don't care one way or another as far as this request goes.

How about color coding the system message that says how many kills someone landed by ENY mismatch?

it's been suggested before, but i'll suggest it again.

[system] <player> landed <kills> for <perk points> in a <plane> of <squad>

And if his request goes forward I will kill even more airplanes and yet I am against it. I wonder why?

How about instead, a check box under flight preferences to disable display of your victories landed? 

[Hap]

anyone know the command to stop all the atta boys?

Squelch 6 bars the system kill messages.

Squelch 1 does the same for salutes.

Since I rarely land successfully (tank of course) i'm talking last month 520 sorties 101 landed  , Maybe a message like
.
<insert player here> could have landed <x> kills if he hadn't a screwed up and gotten himself kilt

Tilt here this should help you when system messages annoy you.

Its a self-propagating wish. You want less attaboys so you force people to fly lesser planes. The better planes kill more of the lesser planes and the same attaboys are repeated.

A little thought goes a long way! 

[Tilt]

is nothing more than a contrived method to favor his (Tilts) style of playing. Its obvious you cant see it.

Given (except for a couple of recent tours) my tendancy to fly the La7 this suggestion would be the reverse of what you suggest........ Infact it is rare that I land more than 2 kills per sortie and ( in the La7) even rarer that it earns more than 2 perks.

The suggestion is that to get an attaboy you have to get at least 2 perks  as well as the threshold that exists now (2 kills or some bomber points)

I think Chalenge is judging you by the way he himself would behave, and thinks that your idea is to encourage people to fly more high ENY rides so that you can more easily kill them with your LA7

[Tilt]

Ahhh sorry now I see the accusation..........

I am sure challenge does not farm lesser ac in this way ........... I can only offer my assurance that this was not my motivation, neither ( in retrospect ) do I think it would be the result if it was put into practice. The change would be a subtle one at best IMO but welcome none the less in as much as it would give greater possibility of wtg's to pilits either with higher envy planes with fewer kills or lower envy planes with more kills

[Rob52240]

No need for accusations.  But the current system message that only displays kills leaves a lot out.  For instance some kills are so mismatched they're just easy, easier kills can come in the form of proxies.  Perhaps a code for bombers shot down while looking through their norton.

Yesterday I laned 4 in a B-29, however I deserved no WTG's or ATTABOYS because all I did to get them was carpet bomb a busy runway.  Poorly.

Given your constant lack of reading comprehension I can see how you would think the total opposite of what I pointed out. Nice reasoning.

Let me reiterate it so you 'chalenged' individuals can grasp it. Your favorite ride being an La7 you would be running into higher ENY planes (not lower) so that even one kill would net someone a landed kill sortie and the attaboy message. Its not hard to see since quite often I land two perks even flying a P-51D. Sure the La7 will then require at least three kills. So what? All you have to do is rearm and since you are fighting against much less capable planes now that every noob in the arena wants his name in lights... you will have a much easier time.

Transparent is what this wish is despite your attempted insults its you boys that stand out as the ones trying to make things easier for you.

Im not impressed by either of you.

that's basically what I said genius

i just find it funny that you would ascribe such an underhand motivation to Tilt's request. if it's not because you are the sort of bad sport that you are trying to paint him as, then it must be because you are a generic P-51D scrub pilot who feels this request would make it harder to get a name in lights ;o  which is it?
