I really wish that it showed the amount of damage you did when you land an attack mission!

Even though system messages can be filtered to death, no need to fill the buffer with useless names in lights for every single aircraft that has happened to blow something up... Attack bombers are enough as it is.

I agree, there is enough 'spam' in the text buffer as it is, however...

What if it was a 'check/uncheck' option to be shown to the player only?  So if I flown an attack mission and landed, only I would get the notification of damage done that sortie, no one else?
If we have something to show we will & do post shots, if we have nothing new to show we don't.

Or maybe just include it in the hangar with your perks earned for that sortie, so you can go look if you want to know.

Would need a spot for it, but that works for me.  :aok

Edit:  Idea hit me after I posted.  Not meant as a hi-jack, but since it coincides with the OP's wish< I decided to post it here.

What if, while in the hangar, you had a separate tab to check out your previous sortie's outcome? 

So in this case attack.

Bomber:  0.00
Attack: 520.62
Fighter: 0.00
Vehicle: 0.00


Would only work for the previous sortie, so it wouldn't be like the feature we have of showing the last ten kills/killers of each individual player. 


Just a random thought.

Not meant as a hijack, especially since I had a similar wish to include text buffer damage following successful landing from a Pick up mission.  My intention was to increase the use of the mission planner.

+1 If it were only so you see your own damage.

+1 If it would broadcast for damage landed while in a pickup mission.

I ran a bomber pick up mission last night with close to 80 - 90 Knights on.  To my surprise, I had 4 excellent pilots join.  A couple extra fighters followed the dar bar and helped as well.  The mission outcome was more than I could have asked for, striking 3 bases in 4 minutes and leaving only 3 targeted hangars (less than needed to totally shut down 2 Vbases and 1 Small Airfield).

The cream on top, was landing together in a group, TEXT BUFFER boasting 5 combined kills and an equally dispersed amount of damage from each B17 pilot.  It was a proud moment as a Knight.   :salute Riffraff, Sapper15, Wolfpack, 2ndLt and all who helped us find our targets.  Also with all sincerity  :salute those Rook pilots who braved the streams of bullets pouring out of the B17 formations.

Why don't we use the mission planner?  :headscratch:
