I think it would be a good thing, thought of something similar after RTBing and landing a few kills but thinking "yeah, but what about the two ords bunker, radar, VH and half the town that I deacked between that first kill and last?".

It would add some distinguishment, so long as the threshhold isnt so low that everyone who strafed down only 4/5 field acks and then vulched more than two kills gets extra praise every time for doing so.  Also would show group efforts much better when successful (a very good thing to praise) when a group lands together with pilots recording kills and damage or just damage (as they may have chosen or been directed to prioritise).

Spend less time running after you drop your bombs and more time fighting and you will see your name in lights.

I agree, can you imagine how cluttered the text buffer would be with all the attacks showing up. Major -1 to this idea. :furious

Your arguement seems more in line that there should be nothing in lights at all.  Off topic, but I'd listen to your arguements for all or for nothing in lights, seems interesting.

But, don't know if it was intentional, you're come off like a dick Perdue to the community (or any individual within) when soundin like you're trying to place responcibility or blame diretly upon them with your ludicrous idea that they are the one(s) who planned, designed, constructed and installed the light board that they also, by the way, have no control over.... I don't think anyone of the people who do has even touched this thread.

Too bad you don't play anymore (but have always acted like you do), or you'd know of this new upgraded ingame chat window feature we've had at our disposal for a long time now, with it you can utilise filters and generate multiple tabs of filtered chat buffer goodness (so if you're complaining about reading and seeing it all the time, why don't you make a chat tab that has it all filtered then?...  BOING!)

Why not? I still think there should be a 2 perk threshold for attaboys to the limit the number "minor" achievements that get attaboys. But quality damage inflicted in any ride should gets its due acclaim IMO.

I'd like to see that as well.  More so for the Mossi's, 110's, and other specified attack or ground pounder' aircraft.

More toolshedder fanny-slapping?

I'll save you the trouble of contemplation, I'm intentionally coming across as a dick.

I don't see it being any different than when bombers land damage...
