+1   

people who sit on the runway, launch rockets, or bail repeatedly shouldn't have precious stars or achievements. 

To have a genuine achievement system that normal players can be proud of getting, need to be protected from dweeby players that go all out to get them.

I'm all for that.

Bruv whats your opinion of the fighter category achievements not counting vehicle kills?

+1, with a few revisions:

1. Remove the bail out achievement (as well as the drop tanks achievement) altogether.

2. Change the bullet hits to 1,000,000.  If a player has an above average 10% hit percentage, 5 million hits would require 50 million rounds fired.

3. Make achievements only apply to the arena they were earned in.

I agree they shouldn't count towards it.  

and perks + achievements should be arena based.

I hope they do change it atm it all seems rather pointless, just shooting thin air or dropping drop tanks/bombs without even hitting anything should not reward us its too easy and far to easy to game.

Would be nice if they allowed us to unlock skins and maybe noseart for doing acheivements like I like bare metal spits so in order to unlock that I would have to kill a certain amount of german planes to unlock it.

I know that would probably require more coding than just changing them but I just feel it would be nice if we had unlockable things in the game im not talking different ammo load outs or bombs and stuff just minor things at first.

as long as achievements and perks are applied across all of the main arenas, there is way too much potential for gaming the game.

everything you listed is a "grinder achievement" Fester...

dump this one...
fire 5 millions rounds of ammo... Hit an enemy player or object with 5 million rounds of ammo


change these to be more specific...like bomber hangar, fighter hangar, strat object, town object, soft gun, hard gun, etc...
fire 10,000 rockets...                  Hit an enemy player or object with 10,000 rockets

drop 50,000 bombs...                 Hit an enemy player or object with 50,000 bombs

bail out 500 times...                   bail out of an airplane crippled by an enemy player 500 times


aren't there already achievements similar to these already?
Fighter:

Get 2500 kills in a carrier plane...       get 2500 airplane kills in a carrier plane

Get 2500 kills in an early war plane... get 2500 airplane kills in an early war plane

Get 2500 kills in a mid war plane... get 2500 airplane kills in a mid war plane
add to fighter...

Get 2500 airplane kills in a late war plane

Get 2500 kills in a ww1 plane
those would be a little better if they were more specific to plane models/countries...like 2500 airplane kills in an f6f.
