Title: manned gunner icon
Post by: popeye on January 14, 2017, 03:12:46 PM
I'd like to see a unique icon for a player in a manned gun.  No big deal, but it would be nice to know whether
the player is in a fighter on the runway/cv or manning a gun.

Do you want this to know if the gun has a player manning it or to know who just killed you with what?

+1

Also score manned-gunners killed as a kill/death.   Make them pay a price.   As it is now they get nothing but upside.

Funny how folks keep spouting out score with manned guns, yet don't realize that those who actually CARE about it, wouldn't be in a manned gun to begin with. :blank:

Make one manned gun death count as a billion deaths, and I will still use them. :P

Good.  When I kill you do the same for my victory totals.

It's damned annoying to have a streak ended by some punk with a mouse who suffers nothing when/if he is terminated.

Simple solution. Stay away from the field ack.

out of curiosity do you actually suffer anything if your plane gets shot down?  cause I have uppped  thousands and thousands and the only time I suffered was when I tripped on my desk on my way to the bathroom.

I didn't even think you played... :headscratch:

With ENY and all...is there anything you even like about the game?...because every post you make pertaining to changes in the game is something you don't like and needs to be changed

This forum is titled WISHLIST. 

Ponder that a bit.

Oh and -1....

If you can't tell its a manned gun firing or if you don't know if it was a manned gun that killed you...that's your problem... Not a coding one

Who wants to see a bunch of gun pits with red icons that say gun...shoot the damn guns before they get you...or as was said earlier...stay away from the field...stop vulching

Who is vulching?   There aren't enough uppers to vulch.  As Bruv pointed out, they're all tower-sitting wimps.

Exaggerate much?

Feel free to scroll on past.   There's a handy ignore feature as well.  Plug my name in there and cap the whining already.    :ahand

Hmmm...so I was on at 8am CST yesterday... There was over 70+ Ppl on...fights everywhere... By noon there was 140+...by 8pm there was over 200+ with over 10 in the WWI arena...some in TA and some in DA

The nits had 90+ just themselves most of afternoon...

This falsity of no one to fight is getting old...the only thing keeping people from fighting is themselves...and I have not seen it...

Yeah maybe Monday mornings at freaking 5am there aren't many fights...guess I'll have to wake up early tomorrow before work so I can let y'all know if I can find one... :rolleyes:

I want the icons for friendlies, not enemies.   Should have been more clear.

Dont vulch and give people a chance to up planes and they will not sit in man guns, they are not fighting because they are denied the chance to do it. Its a last resort when upping a plane means instant death. People whine about man guns because they are denied easy kills...

For the wish: It would work to have an icon for friendlies in man guns so +1.

-1 don't want a field filled with red icons cluttering my screen. BTW man guns are easy to kill before they're actually manned.

My original question was due to confusion about why would this need to be in the game. Why do you want to see an icon associated to a manned gun?

"Hey so and so, why are you in a manned gun?!?! We need your help at v35!"

Besides that, why would we need to see who is manning friendly guns?

To know if your defending alone or not, and to see when all your help is terminated.

Would also be useful when there for ex is a tank on the field and you want to see if there is a manned gun nearby that can kill it and who's in it..

Just for SA.  I'd like to know if the friendly icon is a plane on the carrier deck, or someone in a gun; a plane on the runway or someone in a gun.  Not a big deal, but information is good.
