HTC: Would it be possible to remove some of the default text from the Landed Victories message, so that the full squadron names can be displayed?

Current Message: PlayerX landed XXX victories in a PlaneX of PlayerX's Squad Name

By now, most everyone knows it's landed victories, so would it be possible to make the message read as:

PlayerX : XXX victories : PlaneX of PlayerX's Squad Name

For me, part of the fun is knowing the squads that are landing kills. As it is now, a lot of the squad name is cut off.

Thanks

I would prefer something more descriptive:

RA ran away like a little girl and managed to land 3 vulches

I don't think it is a problem with the length of the default text, it is more the length of some of the squad names...eg: XXX landed X victories in a (planetype) of the "Howling Banshee's of the 127th glider wing reservists, in the morning squadron...Recruiting".  In which case, I don't care to know who is landing these kills. If I can't read it in the time it takes me to glance at it, it is wasting time and attention  :cool:

And the possibility to scroll back in the buffer?

Have long wanted to capture the buffer to text file.

How about upping the number of kills required in order to make the headlines for some planes.  ie the la7 should be a minimum of 4 kills landed, where as the spit1 should get a banner for 1 kill.

just allow us to resize the text buffer.

If i want it to be half the size of my screen (horizontally) and display 6 lines of text, i'd just drag and resize the text buffer a-la windows.

Or simply make the text buffer take the entire bottom of the screen and be  done with it =)
