Attack Damage

[Lazerr]

Any thoughts on having the amount of object damage done in attack sorties show up under kills when landing?

Not just for buffs.. but heavy fighters too?

Maybe only shows up with 2 or more kills landed?  That say  every guy that kills a gun or two doesnt spam the buffer with damage only landed.

+1, maybe even a small damage cutoff so even less text

For newer players who need validation feedback for their efforts, this is not a bad idea. Might even be nice if the message mentioned how many GV's destroyed along with the damage numbers. Even for twin engined bombers and attackers.

Thought it might be a good idea.. killing strats and town buildings is a big part of winning the war now as opposed to early days of just vulch a field till troops run in.

A good jabo can do just as much damage to a base as a mediocre bomber.

Like bustr mentioned it might help the new guys feel a sense of accomplishment.

+1 - why not?

We have reached a paradigm shift from a generation that rewarded itself by the action of the accomplishment while the name in lights helped friends and enemies to rib the poor sob. To a generation that "needs" their name in lights as their sense of self worth and lord help anyone who ribs that poor sob about it.

There are lines I suspect Hitech may not cross because it's generational, this line has always been a moving target over the ages and it's a good general who makes the most of it. It's simpler than giving them free everything.

+1 for any fighter run scored as an attack run! Good idea Lazerr!

If we giving validation to the bombers for damage scored we might as well give it to attack aircraft as well.   Those people that would like their accomplishment put up in lights for their countrymen to see also get an excuse to bring the attack aircraft home and land it.

Is the current damage-done message posted for a bomber flown in attack mode? i.e., is it the kind of plane that enables it, or the scoring mode?

Yes, its by plane type, not score mode.

There are relatively small number of players that choose a heavy fighter outside of local GV attacks.  This might promote heavy fighter use for base attacks.
