why do we need to know who killed us?

[lerxst]

hello everyone!, just thinking about this last night while in LW, is there a reason the name of the guy who shoots you down needs to be shown,why can't it just be left at P 51 has shot you down,perhaps it would ease up on some of the constant fighting and name calling,and calling guys out during the game,i could see after you get back to base the text buffer showing "whoever" landed 5 kills in a P 51D.did anyone in real battle ever know who was gunning for them? I would think it would allow guys to just concentrate on playing the game not so much seeking revenge across a map to seek out one person and gang up on them,again just my humble opinion,cant wait for AH3!

With respect, Sir, sometimes it's beneficial to know who shot you down so that you might communicate with them on a private channel and ask them how they shot you down. Aces High has a strong base of players who are willing to share their knowledge with you, and many of these players are willing to Wing with you to help you learn.

Could even take it a step further and remove player names from the film viewer.  Just have the type of planes only.
That would stop a lot of the b.s.

My personal experience is that knowing who shot me down results in way more positive interaction than negative.

For revenge.

Agreed. One time a month or so ago, KB and I got into a nice fight. Don't remember who turned out to win, but afterwards we held 4-5 more impromptu fights, after exchanging some PMs. I have to say, I've never had more fun in Aces High than the night KB and I fought for an hour 5 or 6 times.

removing 200 would be a better idea.

Same as my last response.  For me, 200 has resulted in more positive interaction than negative.  I am also free to detune it.  I would like to see more appropriate behavior on 200, but the only way to achieve that is turning up the moderation which can have effects worse than having to skim over the purse fights as they scroll by.

So, having 200 removed would have no effect on you and you could still enjoy that personal experience of direct contact with whoever shot you down via PM.

i totally understand the wanting to ask the shooter how they did it,and for the most part im answered with smartass answers,and stuff like you died cause you were easy,followed by the instant abuse by the guy on all channel or pm texts talking stupid trash for no reason other than they got a kill on you,so yes i'd love to walk through a scenario where if i get shot down,and i say to the person,do you mind explaining  how you did that and to get a thoughtful explanation.

Maybe 1/4 - 1/2 of the positive interaction I have on 200 has to do with someone I'm fighting.  Lots of it is just joking with other players, using it to find fights, etc..  I get that its often filled up with silly immature behavior and I realize that can have negative effects on the game.  But for me, 200 is more good than bad.

Some of you guys realize you can DETUNE 200, right?
