Achievements and Option for Multi-Monitor (not TripleHead or whatever)

[tunnelrat]

The old grognards and people who laugh at medals will hate this, but the achievement craze in online games is here to stay.

Having benchmark achievements such as getting a purple heart when successfully landing a pilot wound, getting a "Flat-top Buster!" for sinking a CV... incremental steps for landing kills in various things... 1 kill, 5 kills, 10 kills, etc... attaching a small perk reward (since you can only get an achievement once) would not do much for the greats out there, but for new players it would be priceless.

These things may not mean much to the vocal minority of really hot sticks (or at least they wouldn't admit it), but to the average player the tangible effect of achievements is undeniable.  The best part is, even the awesome guys would have something to strive for with hard to reach goals like (ex:) "New Hotness? Please." for killing a 262 in an I-16.

Aces High would literally be a treasure trove of possible achievements.

Tying a players forum account to their game account, or otherwise having a way for people to display their achievements/search them up like the scores list would be a must.

I'd be all it's Shake'N'Bake and I helped!  on this, gladly!


I have a triplehead2go unit here at work, and I have fired up (but not flown) Aces High with it... I've considered taking it home, but have not yet done so.

What I would literally pay cash money for what would be the ability to have my kneeboard and chat bar on my second monitor at home.  Removing that clutter would be awesome!  Some might  call this an unfair advantage, but some might call TH2G, TrackIR, expensive flight sticks, etc as unfair advantages as well.

ANYWAY... that's all I got.

Ism sorry Tunnel rat I fail to see how this would be preiceless even to a beginner. Isnt seeing your name in lights when you land acheivement enough? Or the fact that you know you did somehting, I dont see the point of more advertisement of doing what your supposed to do.

I personally would not like to see anything like this.

personally id like to see it, i think itd be fun just to kinda keep track of what youve accomplished in your time here, i think even the top guys would even have trouble getting them all depending on what was added.

im not sure it would be extremly hard to implement since the stats are already recorded but then again im not exactly a master at it either... either way +1

You already have an achievement, the medal of "honor".
What else do you want, but the ultimate glory?

The Killing the Fight Acheivement?

Achievements would be another excuse for them to run.

Going to have to disagree with that.

Badly designed achievements would increase timid play, but we already have one of those(think about what pops up when you land kills/damage).  
A well designed achievement can add to the fight e.g. "In a Ta152 Kill 6 heavy bomber above 25k, without rearming in a single flight. Must land successfully." < That would drive someone to up a Ta152 and look for the incoming high alt bomber missions. And after they have taken 3-4 if they really want that extra name in lights, they will turn back to the fight. true they might get lucky and find 2 - 3 different milk runners in one flight, but cannot win them all.

or

"In a P51-D shot down 5 enemy fighter/attacker aircraft without exceeding 4000ft or 400mph. 1 flight only but rearms allowed. Must land successfully." could be named something like "A turn fighting pony *GASP".
"In a D3a Drop a bomb to kill an enemy tank & shoot down 2 other Aircraft in 1 flight without rearm." = "Self flagellation"
"In a Tiger II spawn out to a remote spawn-point then destroy 10 enemy Tanks while moving above 15mph" "Perks of Steel"
"In a Hurricane Mk 1 Kill an enemy fighter while over 340mph" "Pedal Faster!!!"

You can add more and reset them every few tours. These will only be for those who want to try for them. it would take almost nothing away from those who don't.

Now I am not saying Hitech should drop everything and program them in, but its not the worst idea I have seen.

Considering the Goldilocks hordes here, it'll either be too hot or too cold... so...

The chances of me being able to ever achieve that award are very low... personality, attention span, borderline chromosomal anomaly in the skill department...

However, "Just Like a One Wing Dove" <--- Land or ditch a plane missing an entire wing, I get enough opportunities for that one that it will eventually be mine!!
