I want to ask if it's possible for perk points and scores to be enabled for ships guns and why they don't count already??? Kinda feels like it's a waste of effort other than protection for the fleets...
-
Probably because if you are in a manned-gun and it gets destroyed, it doesn't count as a death for you. Which is also why kills made in a manned-gun don't count towards your rank.
No possibility of a "death" against you, no risk to you, no score for you. ;)

Dot, I've had registered kills or deaths in them, very very few each time this has happened though and I'm sure there's a reason too . . do you know how to make this perks thing happen . . sir??? :noid

you have never had a death in a manned gun.
like shermanjr and imadot said, the kills are recorded as stats, but do not count in any way to rank, and you do not earn perks because you are not risking anything, because you cannot die.
and thats how it should be. (and I am the biggest 37mm field gun dweeb in the game)

naw cal is the biggest dweeb in the mandatory gun :bolt:.

I've had registered deaths being in the guns before that I don't know why but I sure would like to get points for the kills and visa versa if killed like everything else we use is all I'm saying. What's the consensus on this from anyone else???

Poppy, I looked at your LW stats for every tour so far in 2012 and see zero entries in the "died in" category for Ship Gunner.

you have never had registered deaths in manned guns.. nobody has. it's impossible.

It was (by a glitch) possible (yet very uncommon) until 2009, that was the last year any deaths in ship/field guns had been recorded (921 that year)

dangit, i was just about to modify and say "maybe there was a glitch" :)

Dot, Maybe it wasn't a ship gun but I have had registered deaths in that section where gun scores are at, squaddies and I just scratch our heads figuring out what they were from, and I still have no clue. Still though, anyone else want perks or points for things doing with ships actions???

sure. but we need to be able to die first, and second, what are you gonna spend the perks on? there are no perked guns.
-
Ya got my eyes partin east and west on that one kuvo, good point but maybe they could be evenly distributed to all the perkable items to help build them up, possibly a good idea . . yes?
-
its probably best keeping it the way it is. it's been working just fine.

or to flip it around ... there are no deaths recorded in guns because they arent counted for score/rank. recording deaths would be trivial, but theres currently no point (pun intended ;).)

I agree it's working just fine but I would like some benefit from it for perks, quite a few guys & I that are in the fleet guns spend alot of time in em would like perks and as hard as they are to get I think it's a good idea to spread them out to the other perked items especially when you consider most of us are better at some things than others creating a way to build up some perks to those weak items. Being the way it is now we would never get any unless it's a map win and kinda like taking the maps are perked is a good way to describe it and shows this is do able without dying... :airplane:

i spend more time in field guns than probably anyone (i dont use ship guns because I dont like how CV gameplay happens in the arena) and i don't see a benefit. if you could earn fighter perks by sitting in guns, you'd never learn to fly a fighter, if you could earn gv perks, you'd never learn to gv. this keeps people out of the air and out of gv's. I doubt that would be good for general gameplay. the way to get perks in your "weak" areas is to practice and become proficient. now if you actually earned gun perks, and perked the 5" and 8" guns, that might have some merit.. but I would expect many whines.
but as it is, I think we get more than enough recognition.. name in lights should be good enough, and for me, satisfaction of killing vulchers and getting angry pm's is all i need. :aok
-
no name in lights if you drop a CV, its cruiser and all the destroyers with the 8" ...

ah maybe they could add the damage thing like bombers have to the 8" then.. seems reasonable to me.
-
YES! and for the 5"rs too . . anything would be better. kvuo, I don't think any of it would take away from the rest of the other craft in game and would only add to it. Like you in ground guns I spend a lot of time in the fleet guns and really don't do too bad in the rest of everything else in game, so I don't think what we're talkin about is detrimental to anything else other than the whiners :cry just not liking something else. :airplane:
