Back in the day, the buffer would announce your arriving and leaving the arena and, at one point, announced your kills as they happened.

Was that when you were vulching planes as they spawned out on the runway after the field had been deacked?

I like to be able to message my the killed/killer and say "That was great flying". Only usually though if the dogfight last like over 2 minutes.

Yeah I think it was changed to landed kills so  there were less HO's etc.  Not entirely sure.

I like the kill messages.  It'd probably be better if you didn't get kills for planes until they've left the runway and proximity of the airfield (like flag is set to no kill as long as the plane has not moved outside of the airfield border), didn't get kills for camping gv spawn points and no kills for proxies (but then you have the issue of bailers / deliberate augers to avoid getting shot down).

Overall I think its fine the way it is.
