Similar to those you can find on the special events site. But just as a personal version, generated and saved on your computer:
16:22 LW Orange, Compello: Snailman takes off in a TA-152H from A158
16:41 Snailman shoots down Player X in a B-17
16:43 Snailman helps Player Y shooting down Player X in a B-17
16:59 Snailman rearms at A150
17:12 Shot down by Player Z in a P-51B
Even better would be additional location entries mentioning the closest base at a particular incident, i.e:
17:12 Shot down by Player Z in a P-51B near P148
This way one could really recreate the history of a specific sortie and be something like a true combat report. Of course, I can think of other additional details (damage report, taking off as part of a mission, etc) too.
These optional Combat Logs would be saved in a simple text (or maybe .csv) format
:airplane:.

That's a very interesting idea. It's one thing I rather liked from TargetWare (although theirs was more a debugging log, too technical). It might be hard to designate where, maybe have locations broken down by sector?
Can HTC determine map sector from logs?
-
Maybe something a little more player originated.
You have landed successfully. "Write combat report?"
If yes, a template comes out similar to a wartime combat report and you can type it in and save it to a folder as a text file, like a film.
That way it isn't necessarily every flight, but a player can type up the memorable ones to either save for themselves or post on the boards if they choose to.

yeah but the way things go i can see a lot of people writing "that stupid hotard hoed me 3 times then ran away leaving me with bad engine."
but i like those wishes! :D

+1 Lusche and +1 Guppy, something like this would be great, perhaps also an option to associate a film with it?, if we're typing the report in, could we have a line for "refer to film xxx.ahf"

That'd make finding specific events in Films easier. +1 :aok

And something that would extract events and put them in a newspaper-type layout on a webpage somewhere..
Something along the lines of ..
"Field a34 was the sight of many battles during the evening of May 25. The base changed hands 4 times as the Rook and Knight forces savagely fought." Over 3,000 aircraft and 400 GVs were destroyed during the bloodbath."

why? who would actually take notice besides a hand full who are fixated on "that's kewl"...if personal logs were available, the twinkie eater squads could do their own compilation on their own sites.

+1 Lusche, Guppy, and Steely

I agree. Good ideas

Perhaps a dog-tag system like in Bad Company 2. If you kill someone, you get their dog-tags (or wings, but the specific item is irrelevant), which you would keep in the O'Club. You would not get multiple dog tags for killing someone multiple times, just one dog-tag per person. If you clicked on the dog-tag, it would bring up a little card with infomation about the date, time, location, arena, respective planes, weapons used, and the damage dealt to you and the other player. An algorithm would calculate this, and create a score; the color of the dogtag would vary based on this score (i.e. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), and one could see it if one were to click on the dogtag.

Just where would you get the dogtag from? :headscratch:

I like this idea. :aok

he would land offline, grab a jeep and go looking for the body...

Got it confirm the kill and get a nice little item to remember.

I say keep the minimum at 2 to get your name in lights. but add a new feature. make the individual land at a friendly airfield and after they click :end sortie: Give them the choice to actually log the kills like the box that pops up before a mission. If it doesnt match to what they actually did. the kills do not count. This way those who worry about their kills/score can log them and have those go towards their overall rank. for those who dont will not have an overall score until they log their kills.
-
or possibly, if you record a sortie and it asks if you wish to save it, if you choose to save it it will pop up a writing box, asking you if you want to write a personal combat report about the situation you just recorded? then that personal msg will be attached to that film to read whenever you view the film.

I like the original idea. I alwas go to the logs in any event im flying in. Its alwas intresting to find who got you or you shot down. Or even assisted.
+1 for the original idea. :aok
