Well, I personally would like to see them done up in a more military commendation style but maybe the goal is to keep it more light hearted than that.

Strat-o-bomber : Destroy 5% of a country's start target.

Party planner : Plan/Host a mission.
Chauffeur under fire : Deliver 10 troops for a successful base capture
A friend in need : Deliver 20 vehicle supplies to country vehicles.
Wingman : Earn 3 assists, on kills credited to a single player.
Join the band-wagon : Earn a kill/assist on which 2 or more players also landed an assist.
Hauler : Land a undamaged airplane with bombs/drop tanks still attached.
Party pooper : Kill 6 vehicles in rapid succession while in a bomber/attacker.  :lol
Sniper fire : Kill 5 aircraft while in a vehicle.
Down periscope: Kill a ship with a torpedo.  :lol

VF-17 has our own award for FSO, I think it would be cool to have this achievement for the MA.

The Kepford Cup: down 16 enemy aircraft without dying in an F4U-1A

Ira Kepford was VF-17's leading ace during the war with 16 confirmed victories. In our VF-17, you get your name added to the cup, and it is sent to your house if you achieve a kill streak of 16 or more in FSO. I think this would be a cool achievement to keep us hog guys busy :airplane:

Fly 213 operations in the Mosquito B.Mk XVI

Ideally this would require damage to be inflicted on each sortie and to be done without losing a Mosquito.  This would be a historical achievement based on Mosquito B.Mk IX LR503 F for Freddie's 213 operations against the Germans.  The B.Mk IX and B.Mk XVI had similar performance, but the Mk IX lacked the bulged bomb bay for the 4,000lb 'cookie'.

  I don't know if the new "Achievement" system is meant to be tongue-in-cheek
or on par with some of the "shooters" out there which folks play online.
  My squad has a system in place which awards "campaign ribbons"
based on sorties during the week and others which are based on
the compilation of "TD scores" over a month.
  Some are quite easily achieved, while others are not.
  I post the link here just in case HTC is looking for ideas.

I think the CVs have great potential for some entertaining achievements.

Wrong Ship Dilbert! - Takeoff from a carrier and land at a different carrier.
Deck to Deck Service - Land an aircraft on the static CV at a port.
Don't be a Dilbert! - Land inverted on the carrier deck.
Bonzai! - Fly less than 25 feet from stern to bow above an enemy CV, and survive to land and tell.
Wrong Way Dilbert! - Land on a CV backwards.
Wait for the signal Dilbert! - Survive catastrophic collision damage with the CV and land successfuly.
Blinders for Pilots - Suffer catastrophic damage from friendly CV, HQ or strat auto-5" AAA.
Surprise Your Crewchief - After scoring one or more victories/kills, successfuly land/park your aircraft fully rearmed and refueld in its hangar (bomber/fighter) and without any damage (~98-99% original starting fuel loadout, for taxing).
Save Your Cans - Succesfuly land with empty drop tanks.

Te Dilbert series cartoons should provide good icon ideas/sources.
(http://www.rfcafe.com/miscellany/smorgasbord/images/dilbert-the-pilot-4.jpg)

This poster gave me th idea for saving drop tanks.
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KI66vgOvuCM/TsXRmc-9dYI/AAAAAAAAAuA/w8I-NyUgCz4/s1600/109.JPG)


Edits/Adds
Compact Parking - Land any allied heavy bomber (4-engine) on a carrier.
Are we heading to Maui? - Land a land-based fighter on a carrier.
W. E. Coyote - Collide with a heavy bomber (or something) while flying the Me163.
Who's your daddy? - Score the following kills in the following rides: All P40 varients while flying a P40C, all P47 varients while flying a P47D11, a P51D while flying a P51B, all F4U vareints while flying a F4U1, a FM2 and F6F while flying a F4F, All A6M varients while flying a A6M2, All 109 vareints while flying a 109E, All 190 vareints while flying a 190A-5, a La7 while flying a La5, All Spitfire varients while flying a SpitI, a Tempest while flying a Typhoon, All Hurricane varients while flying a HurriI (and probabley a half-dozen good/decent ones I'm missing).

Tune radio to channel xxx - Radio achievement 1 - 5
Start engine - mechanic achievement 1
Flaps down and up - flap the wings achievement
Gear up after launch - Cleaning up the bird achievement 1
Set RPMS - Tuning for longevity achievement 1

Fly to waypoint x and turn to course of xxx - Navigation achievement

Debrődy György achievement:
in '44 November (11th if im right) he was jumped by Jaks and Lavochkins. He got an La-5 but a Jak was hitting him with a 20mm round, right through the stomach. Still, he managed to down that Jak (yes, his G6 had an mk108 gun, but thats an other story...) and landed.
So the achievment could be: kill a plane while pilot wounded then land.

was thinking about that....he lost 14 planes.....he never bailed out, but ditched.......

 we can only go so far to replicate the feats of the real pilots.....we don't really die, so I think some concessions are needed....so maybe....allow ditches and bails but no deaths......

or just have to get the 352 kills in 1 month in one plane.

I agree for the most part, but with something like Hartmans....I think it would not be too much....

How about leave it at 352 all-time since it was his all-time and he got more than one month to score them all in, but if you think about this: 352 / 14 = 25.14.  25 kills in one plane/sortie, pluss ending it with either a successful ditch or landing, during one tour might be more plausible and still on par with his real-life achievement.

I think all time is pushing it...one month is enough time, I like the 352 number.... :D

I honestly dont care how HTC sets it up...but it should be called "Hartmans Achievement" .....and involve 352 kills......

not sure how intricate the rules of achievement could be made.....

I like the idea of
352 kills.....no deaths allowed...... 14 ditches Allowed must be done in 1 plane in 1 tour...no bails allowed.

You are aware of the 352 kill achievement (maybe in axis iron only?) that was included in the beta/current release, yes?  (perhaps some renaming/refinement of it is what you want?)

no I wasn't aware......Thanx I will find it....

I don't think it should have to be done in his plane the G6 (or just German)which he got most his kills in.....he did get kills in other planes...

Sure it is, but I think these achievements should be biased to make people fight more, not less. I would rather see achievements that are either based on total number of kills, or on K/T or K/S. K/D based achievements would not be to the benefit of the game IMO.

Meaning they dont benefit you and since you want your style to be better appreciated the achievements should all reflect that?

If you say so.
Title: Re: Achievement suggestions
Post by: Greebo on December 14, 2012, 05:22:22 AM
I play the game for the fight and there are already too many other players who won't fight without a massive advantage. So yes I want to bias the achievements to benefit my style of play, not because I care about winning achievements but because others will and they might be more inclined to fight if the achievement they are after isn't based around K/D.

In general though I believe the game would benefit if the number of people fighting in the MA at any time went up not down.

Well if that is what you are after then all aircraft could just have altitude governors on them and 12k would be max alt. That is just as ridiculous as suggesting that K/D have no role in the game.

In the end whether a particular achievement is based upon K/D will not effect the fights in the game because the vast majority of people do not have the patience for a high kill ratio and will quickly give up.

{Puts on striped referee jersey}  (Blows whistle)

I have seen some pretty good suggestions in this thread.  Some of them have been light hearted and fun, and others more military or more skill oriented.  Just taking a look at the use of color coaded icons, suggests to me that there is a classification for each (or could be).

I think the discussion should be open on the effects on game play, but not on each other's preference.  In fact, I believe that there could be a legitimate place for both and not entirely limited to the Main Arena as has been suggested for use in the Training Arena  :aok and I would like to add a customizable list for Special Events, Axis Versus Allies, and Custom Arenas.

I do believe that skill achievements that might influence shy behavior be set at such a high level in the Main Arena,  to discourage the average player from attempting them in the first place. ( I know my logic may seem to echo elite bias but some of us have no "quah" and have no business attempting 230 kills with no deaths, not even 20  ;) . Yet for others they might fine themselves practically there with zero effort).

I never said K/D should have no role in the game, K/D will always have a role in the score stats and that is not going away. However achievements are a new goal that some players will go for and I think it would be better if they were set up to encourage at least some of those people to fight rather than sit back and pick. If not all of the achievements then at least most of them. I think we've exhausted the topic though, lets move on.

There is no such thing as a 'pick' Greebo. 'Pick' is just a whine by the weaker players that experienced a different outcome than their own expectations. It is a trait of poor SA to whine about it like that. Rise above it.

P51s over Romania?
As far as i know, he only flew Gustavs on combat missions.
Yes, in spring 1944 I/JG52 was stationed in Rumania defending Ploesti and Bucharest from American raids. His biography details him bailing out after a long time of scissoring to get away from some Mustangs and running out of fuel. He was almost strafed in his parachute. According to this book he flew various models of the G as well as the K in combat. I don't know why one'd think he never transitioned to the K, of course the ace of aces would be put in the 109 of 109s- he was even supposed to fly the Me 262 in JV-44, but declined before going into combat and went back to the eastern front.

No, there is no such thing. It is an excuse that the dead guy had an expectation that was unreasonable and that differed from the guy that shot him. Its like saying I wish you had not shot me which goes without saying. . . so why say it?

"Picked" is an oxymoron.

Proves my point actually. During the time in which I broke 300 k/d in a P-51D I made four escort runs over your countries strats. Not once during the course of those missions were you there to stop it. So every time you comment on it you are speaking from the chair of no experience.

Jukebox Hero - when you kill a fighter plane pilot who sets their type to "Attack" for n sorties after entering top 100 "Fighter" score.

conversely...

Pudknocker - someone who sets their type to "Attack"  for n sorties after entering top 100 "Fighter" score.

I trust the software coders to create a near ideal algorithm to identify those that qualify for this achievement.


Spear Fishermen -  when you kill someone swimming in ACK (whose fighter remains n kilometers from base for n minutes while cons exist in area).

conversely...

Waterboy - Certified ACK Swimmer (whose fighter remains n kilometers from base for n minutes while cons exist in area).


ACKTastic - in a fighter plane when you carry ords and actually survive CV or base ACK after a drop.

I must say that I'd initially disliked the notion of achievements since it appeared to pander to the XBox crowd.  Now, have to admit the game is better for it.  It not only provides fun little goals, it provides a history of sorts-the kind of history where you can say "darn, I saved 5,000 fighters perks and still couldn't find anything to spend them on..."

"Mr. Consistent" - Get 3 or more kills in each of 10 consecutive fighter sorties
"Blinkfecta" - Get three or more kills with a 5 second period
"Hart in the game" - Fly 1,425 fighter sorties
"Bong Voyage" - Land a 40 kill streak in the P-38
"Holey Cow" - Land a fighter that has taken 166+ bullet/cannon hits
"Just Sayi'n" -Give a check 6 call to someone who dies within the next 30 seconds
"Pacifist Ace" -Land 5 kills without firing a shot in a single sortie
"Proxy Master" -Have 100 kills by proxy
"Should I get out and push?" -Ditch an aircraft within 1k of friendly pavement
"Neener, I lived" -Land 2 or more kills after taking damage from 5 or more enemies
"Corky impersonator" -End your sortie with only the fuselage of your aircraft attached to the cockpit...
