Title: Bombing/Straffeing credit
Post by: Manedew on May 21, 2003, 09:59:20 AM

I'd like to see more information in landing banners.... Information about Jabo or Buff kills.   An extra banner or code to display how many objects a bomber destroyed.  Maybe have spots for general objects(fuel,ack,buildings) and spots for larger objects(FH,VH,CV)

I think this could add to the enjoyment of bombing in general, as it would give players recognition for good bombing sorties as with good killing sorties.

i.e. "SYSTEM: ManeTMP landed 7 Victories 4-1 in a P47D30 of ASSASSINS"
                           
                                                                   4-1 being 4 kills of smaller object(s): fuel, town buildings, etc ... and 1 kill of larger object(s): FH, CV, etc...    

Vet's would be able to inform noob's easily of what the values meant with only two numbers

I feel a system like this could make bombing more enjoyable to people as they would get similar recognition as folks do for killing players.  

Anyone else think this would add a bit of fun ?

i was thinking the same thing yesterday, but instead of the code system i was thinking bomber/attack points landed that sortie.

I would like to see "Victory (x) by (Player)" come back too. It was nice to let ppl know you were whoopin butt when you met your end, and it also helped others identify who was in the plane besides having to wait and hear it on the squad channel.

But as for detailed information, that will almost obliviate any conversation I thihnk, and would scroll by too fast for anyone to read.  A simple line would be better.

(Player) landed successfully with (Lbs or Kgs) of Ord. on target.

Much simpler, and one line that fits in the text buffer. (Every pun intented) :)

I just feel more information on a single banner could be done.... no need to clutter up with multiple banners, unless a player wanted it through a dot command.

Even now the banner has alot of flowery words which could be replaced with a code like above ... maybe make it an optional .setting.... one with more code info..

ManeTMP lands 2 Kills 5-1 in a Tempest of the ASSASSINS

or and optional second line ... enabled by a .command

System:ManeTMP landed 2 victories in a Tempest of The ASSASSINS
System:Hangers:0|Objects:5|Ships:1

anyway tons more ways to do it than even these,  it's just the general idea....Show strat kills on landing... buff pilots would love ya for it :D (and jabos like me):cool:
