Attackers show damage

Why did HTC decide to have names show up for landing X damage with bombers?

It was requested because the bombers guys got no glory. I don't have a problem with the attack scores getting you on the the board, but like the fighter limits (need 2 kills to get your name in lights) I think both the bombers and attacks should have limits. This way those that get 250 points in damage don't get their name in lights. Like fighter kills, make them "earn" the right to get your name in lights.

I personally hate to see guys getting their name in lights landing their 200-1200 points. You know all they did was dive bomb with a lanc and hoped for the best.

Ah.  So would 2500 be a good starting point for bombers?  I would say 5k, but that may be a little heavy handed.  I do admit it's funny when I fly 17's and land like 300 damage.   But if they upped the minimum, would not bother me one bit.

I go and crash to save myself the embarrassment.

The problem with screwing with this is that area targets are worth SOOOOO much more than point targets.... porking towns would receive accolades, whereas a tactical bomber rolling Ki-67s to support the war effort would not.

You mean like this? 



I hit what I was aiming at, only the intended victims never spawned in.




That's more like it.  Who said bombing stuff wasn't combat? 




Two out of three ain't bad.  Think I was in a Ki-67 this time.




Try and beat this uber skoar!



Vulching from the heavens.

This would be ok ONLY if the threshold for getting credit is set high.

Perhaps put the damage scored as a PM to self?

I think at the very least this would be a nice addition. +1
