Killing an 88 = a Kill

[Slade]

Its time has come.  If we kill a manned gun or manned 88 in a plane or GV we should get a kill for it.

Thank you. 

[Bopgun]

Agreed

[nrshida]

Ten kills

hehehe

I feel good about it.  +1

How does that affect the person in the manned gun?

[The Fugitive]

First , you only get a "kill" if its a gun manned by a player.

Second, if you do kill a player in a gun it counts just the same as kills FROM a gun. Just the name in lights, nothing towards score.

Third, count it as a "death" under which ever category it needs to be.....bomber, attack, or vehicle.

There is a manned gun category in the score card.

And yes to all of this.  I can't believe it hasn't happened yet.  I would take this over a new airplane any day.

OK lets do this! You may get the 88 troll voice here-and-there but we all KNOW everyone generally wants this.

EDIT: It may truly help with player retention too.

Thank you.

I can't imagine it would be terribly difficult to implement either.

For the record, it will accomplish nothing more than forcing the whiners to whine about something else. They will still killed by some "noob" that is afraid to get in a plane and fight them on their terms. As to the man gun users, nothing will change, they will still get in the man guns, still shoot the planes down, and there will still be whining.

Now with all that said, I don't see any problem with the idea being implemented. I spend a fair amount of time in a man gun, it would not change how I play one bit.

But it would remove a zero-risk option which overall is a good thing, no? Deaths too good for them anyway. They should burn in cartoon hell for at least one hour.

Yeah I'm not trying to change the way people play, just more of an eye for and eye type of thing.  I assume most guys will tower out if they feel death coming.  Some of us can hit gun pits from outside of auto ack range though with rockets.  It would actually be fun to snipe some people like that and ruin the safe place.

Ah, but if you do that in a plane someone gets a proxy anyway. Food for thought

I like sniping that way anyway would be cool to be yelled at for it!

  at least is adds some action to the kill buffer to drown out whining and politics... more food for thought.
