Nose art displaying kill count

[Mickthestick]

Like the kind pictured here, under the canopy.

With every kill, it automatically updates.

At the end of the tour, it will reset back to zero for everyone. Different flags for different nations of origin of the planes which were shot down.

who will see it?

By that rationale, we shouldn't bother with squad nose art or any small visual details on the exterior of airplanes.

indeed! HTC should get right on the nose art kill marks, instead of the next new plane / vehicle.

     Aside from the whole when would anyone see it thing, when would you erase it, after every death?  Or would your bird eventually be
one giant kill board until it filled the paintjob?

or dare i say.............new map............

[Karnak]

I'd think that would look pretty ugly on top of skins that already have a lot of kill markings

[LilMak]

Not enough surface area on my jug for all those markings. 

[Spikes]

Luckily the 234 has a big fuselage so it wont get filled up when I get uber amounts of kills.

I somehow doubt that this will put much of a dent in the 150 week wait before next vehicle arrives.

And yes, I would clean the slate every tour.

In tour 151 I had 105 kills in the hurri IIc, if I displayed everykill it would look silly. And thats with me flying many different AC in a tour. Some who only fly 1-2 types will have far more kills per plane.

Top player Tour 105 in k4 had 551, in 51D 502 kills. My own record was 600+ in the 262. Kill numbers in a single type can occasionally reach 1000

[Hazard69]

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

Orrrrrr....orrrr....orrrrr... .

Everytime you HO you get a single black pixel added to your red icon that the enemy sees. At the begining of each tour all icons go back to red. Eventualy there will be a whole lotta black icons and possibly the remaining red and red\black piebald  ones will be players who want a fight with you.

I can see the conversations in the game.

WooWoo - BGeorge, your Icon's getting kind of spotty I noticed in that last fight.
BGeorge - I never HO. How can you insinuate that about my superior ACM?
WooWoo - BGeorge I wipe my 108inch TV clean before I play so I know it's pixels and not dust.
BGeorge - Bet you dont clean your glasses like all pimply faced geeks living in their mommas basement.
WooWoo - doc says I have 21\21 vision and my home cost me 1.2mil.
BGeorge - Go (bleep) yourself and your home too.
WooWoo - Just before I shot you from your 6 BGeorge, what color was my icon?
BGeorge - (Bleep) you and I've reported you to HTC for harrassing me.
BGeorge - (Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep) and your dog too.
WooWoo - Guess it's that time of the tour again with your spotty Icon and superior ACM.
BGeorge - (Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)
BGeorge - (Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)
BGeorge - (Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)
BGeorge - (Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)(Bleep)
MOderator - BGeorge.....what does (Bleep) mean??
BGeorge - (Bleep)

Good luck on getting the computer to correctly identify a head on.
