popularity achievement
« on: October 10, 2014, 09:12:07 PM »
It would be nice to have assists/death included into the fighter score, but doubt that will ever happen.

Instead, how about an achievement(s) in the fighter category for how many assists are generated at your expense? 
This could encourage people to be more aggressive and fly into red globs instead of green ones.  In theory, anyway.


I - 100 assists against you -   "Yippe Ki Yay"
II - 500 assists against you -  "It's Merely a Flesh Wound"
III - 1000 assists against you -  "Ain't Got Time to Bleed"
IV - 2500 assists against you -  "This is Intolerable!"
V - 5000 assists against you -  "Dr. Kevorkian"

"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

I like it!

It should be fairly comical how fast P38 pilots acquire this achievement.

Just to be clear, the achievement is basically how often you get ganged (how many players it takes to kill you), not assists that you get with bb guns.

Planes that everyone drops what they're doing for, like: B-239, 110, Mossie, P-38, P-39 and P-40 will rack up this achievement with a decent pilot.



That's why I would really like it as part of the fighter score.  A high rank would require a high assists(against you)/death ratio, same as the other categories.  To do that, you would have to fly into harms way more often.  That would put the late war monster/vulcher types at a disadvantage in scoring, forcing them to mix it up to keep a high rank.  You wouldn't need to die more, but if it only regularly takes 1 plane to kill you, you probably don't deserve a high rank.

This request was already put in the wish list, to a very tepid response, but Shirley it can be an achievement.  :banana:

Ahhh...my bad.  As a fan of the 110, I fully support this idea.   :aok

Of course it should be an achievement....and don't call me Shirley.   :D
