Nose art displaying kill count

[save]

kill streak statistics would be awesome, but not showing on the plane.

Kills 40+ = You're an ace and have a Big Spade displayed? 

Just my $0.02 

because just about everybody except for the vtards would accomplish this in the first 2 days of a tour.

Hehehe, hows about we compromise?

Make it a dedicated icon to represent X no of kills. That way it might just be large enough for folks to see it, and it can be located at different locations on different airframes.

And let it reset when the player experiences a death or crash? Would give people some more added incentive to not go all suicidal all the time and actually try to live long enough to show off a Gold Star or Some other stuff like that.

For e.g.
Kills 1-10 = No icon displayed
Kills 10-20 = you get a big J (for Jack?  ) visible
Kills 20-30 = you're upgraded to a Q 
Kills 30-40 = Now you're a K-ing 
Kills 40+ = You're an ace and have a Big Spade displayed? 

Just my $0.02 

I like the idea but I think that 500 kills in one tour you get the spade for ace, seems to easy to get just 40. Also every 100 kills you earn is one flag on your nose art.

Sorry.. on top of the historical target/kill marks, that would look like crap. Add to that, all kills since I subscribed in '04? No thanks.

Maybe so, but theres a large heap of players who wont make it. Remember the achievement isnt in the kills in the tour. Its in the kills between deaths. You die, it resets to zero and starts count all over again. Imho, that would serve a more improved purpose, than a simple X kills in a tour indicator.

How timid do you want people to play this game?

The kills landed message eventualy causes some to fly timid for the sake of the name in lights. At least we have a sufficent number of veteran players who accomplish the numbers by virtue of their willignness to fight opposed to getting a WooWoo over country text, or the fantasy of painted on bragging rights. Aside from those who seek kills only from a fight, a large number of kills in the game are picks and vulches from the blind side and not from skilled ACM.

What exactly do you want to be rewarded for? Are you willing to DA with the muppets or Top Gun if your fighter is covered in kill marks from top to bottom each time one laughs at your accomplishments? Will you stipulate Hitech code a check box to disable the bragging rights marks? It's kind of obvious who in the game lands copious numbers of kills via superior ACM and who dosent. If you want bragging rights, just pick fights with them. If you are persistant eventualy you will get a (.S) over text. For those who have been around a long time, that says something.

Other wise, why are you trying to impress the schools of bait fish that you can pick plankton if you have yet to demonstrate an ability to swim with the sharks that eat you?
