Idea...

How about including bomber kills in buffer text?Not plane kills but damage AAR..I mean if you kill say..2 hangers and land it,you get "Player xxx landed 2 Hanger kills"

Add things like HQ kill message or if you flatten 8 buildings you get text reward if you land it.

What you guys think?

I wonder if Lasz will show up and complain that it takes away from his fighter experience to have bombers get credit?

...

Sounds like a great idea, I'd also really like it if you could get an after-action report telling you what you destroyed, how many times you hit things w/ bullets, who you shot down, etc.

Why shouldn't buff pilots get the same respect as fighter jocks?

Ask Lazs, he seems to have very strong opinions about how lame 'fluffers' are, as he calls bombers.

Yup, he's the champion of the anti-buff campaign.

Buffs have a role in this game? Not much no more, its all about the fighters now. They get easy mode, we get drones that go boom, a funky bomb sight that is difficult for second passes and convergence issues.

I'd go on, but I'm weary of the flames

The shame is he's allowed to continue his name silly offensive name calling despite the call by HTC to make the forums and more friendly place to hang out. I spend less and less time at the AH forums because of the way they have deteriorated.

Too much buffer text allready.
If a fighter lands some jabo damage that will show. If a tank does that will show.
right now kills show..they show for bombers too. Its totaly fair.

BTW
did you know at one time every kill showed in the buffer with the victums name and squad and the victors name and squad?

Sirloin...i bow to u..heheh good fights..

Yes I staretd a thread named Your Name in Lights..

I wanted Buffs to get Kill message for CV killn...

I dont really care about hangar stuff..bit you could include it..

I really want ..CArrier Killed and HQ kill messages..

And any1 who says buff dont have a place in this game is not a well rounded pilot...

No other Plane can get to HQ by themselves and kill it...except Bomers..B-17..

It would make me want to fly bombers more if there was text reward for damaging structures and landing them.

And,no..There is not too much text buffer..only too much channel 1 chat.

Why shouldn't people get credit for killing hangers, cv's etc. I think they should. Not just bombers but any type of plane. If I go out kill a hanger, some buildings and 1 con would be nice to them listed instead of just "You have landed successfully".
