Title: Aircraft type listed when landing kills
Post by: Kanth on July 19, 2002, 02:02:05 AM: It's REALLY nice to see the aircraft types listed when landing kills.
For example instead of just FW190 it actually tells what model FW.

I really appreciate that.

Hope this forum isn't for squeaking only. :D

Kanth, I'm with you. I think it's great to see what model and varient you won or lost to.

Hmmm.. maybe I read this wrong.. but it didn't seem like Kanth was asking for anything. Sounded to me like Kanth was being complimentary about an existing feature.

Would hate to see a string of ascerbic posts wasted on a misunderstanding :)

If you would have read his post well before you began your verbal diarrhea, you would have seen that he was not talking about seeing what type of aircraft you killed. He is saying that he enjoys seeing "JoeBlow landed 5 kills in a Sopwith Camel."

I think it's a great addition also.

Kanth is a she, not a he.

...and shiva is a dork with limited reading comprehension. Kanth never asked to have the type of plane she killed to be listed.

Got anything better to do than start an argument? Really, you'll have to work hard to take the top instigator spot.

You claim that Kanth wanted the specific model of plane she's flying to be identified in the 'landed kills' message; the host already does that:

Ummm... Shiva.. please try to follow along here... I'll type slowly.

Kanth... said.. she.. liked.. the.. new.. feature....

Kanth... did.. not.. ask.. for... any.. changes....

Shiva... (that's you)... misread .. the.. original... post.. and.. ignored... every.. polite.. atempted... correction :rolleyes:

tgnr (still a dweeb.. but posting as fast as I can so I can be smurt two) :D

PS: If you pretend to not get it this time.. me thinks me smells a troll ... since mum & dah don't allow me to speak to trolls.. 'tis my last wurd on da subject :cool:

Post by: Toad on July 21, 2002, 07:53:18 AM: I think the message should be adjusted for the type of plane you're flying.

Heck, if you land one kill in a C-202 you ought to get a tip of the hat in the text buffer.

OTOH, if you buzz around in a 262 your exploits should be totally ignored unless you get .... umm..... maybe 20 kills. Because, after all, jets are for kids.

:D

I love the feature too.

Now I wish that the squad association wasn't listed too... it truncates the message for some people with alot of ---<<<<---- in their squad ID.

Post by: Halo on July 21, 2002, 10:56:52 AM: I agree with AKDejaVu's refinement of kill message and others enjoying the feature, which is an excellent touch crediting exceptionals while reducing the previous message overkill.

I like the squad association stuff... helps to catch my eye when one of my squadmates does good. Why not shorten the info in the squad description a bit so it fits :) If it's not gonna be displayed, don't matter much what it says anyway.
