yea, i can see it now..  you sink a carrier and then get berated and griped at by your countrymen becaue the CV you sunk isnt "where the war is" or because they were furballing with it..

name in lights would be like saying "soinso just ruined your fun"

My buddy BlakHawk used to kill alot of CVs, one month he sunk like 4-5 a day but his bomber score wasnt even under 100, cvs should be better then hitting strats. I think the name with cv killed would be redundent just because you usually put it out on country so other bombers in area dont go after it either.

agree 100%

I love killing CVs and I love lurking at 18k above them intercepting bombers aswell..  win/win

There should be no accolades for anything that does not involve human opponents, and even then, the bar needs to be raised a bit, just to cut down on the crap. This constant need for attention and positive reinforcement for the simplest, most idiotic tasks (not just in games) is rather pathetic.

The whole no human opponents thing is crap.  When locating CV's its a very time involved process.  That is unless you already know where it is.  Then there are the CV vulchers waiting for buffs to come in.  Lastly if you want any chance for survival you need to be at least 15k trying to hit a moving target while getting tailed by C hogs.  Not to mention your probably going to kill an hour getting there and back.  A little scooby snack would be nice if you land it.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

Just pull up your text buffer and type,  System:ToeTag just sank the CV.   I'm so smart I just scare myself sometimes. :rolleyes:

Good job on this reply!   :D

Seriously, though, it's right on!

As long as there are accolades for the computer opponents, for instance:

SYSTEM: ChooChoo landed 4 kills of score-tards in a TRAIN of The Little Engines That Could

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

I like killing boats when appropriate. I think they should be much harder to kill. Points and names in lights I don't really care about.
