I want a kill streak counter then

[Shane]

that's it?  as long as you been here?  Hell I heard you were one of the greats.... I have only flown in about 54-56 tours...and I have over 17,000 kills...and NOBODY can accuse me of flying "smart"


as far as streak counter would be cool for those that enjoy that type of thing

might've been closer to 40K, but with the stats program not working, hard to confirm...  also toss in 2 two-year periods where I didn't play.

so i lowballed myself.... see if i hook a few 30k-ers who tyhink they're all that.

What about the no-star cons that will run first sign of a 5 star?  

the effect is usually the opposite.  The guys with no stars have nothing to lose because they don't care about streaks.  so they will want to kill the star guy more. 

[Citabria]

I'm all for a streak counter icon as well. you get hunted either way if your on a big fat 100+ kill streak.

and if you die and die you will with a streak icon, streak counter and best streak counter ever...

you can roll again an start streaking without waiting for the rest of the tour to start over.


if anything it would make the unskilled and timid players more aggresive and fangs out going for the kill on a guy wth a big kill streak.


look what the 262 jerk tag does to people minds.

now imagine a 109k4 with a 50+ streak tag and see how much skill he has to employ to survive as the streak gets higher with that jerk tag.

I want this challenge

give it to me let me hang myself with this virtual dead mans noose because I am a sadomasochist looking for a challenge that involves flying to live and making people flying to kill and be killed fly with fangs out aggressive as hell towards me and anyone flying to live on a kill streak.

you worry about oo its gonna make people timid? a few will yes but the majority will fly even more aggressively to kill the streaker.

you know its true and all the proof you need is the 262/f4u4/tempest/spit14 jerk tags to know this.

like a perk plane people in this virtual world are proof that humanity is a crab bucket.
other crabs will drag a crab trying to escape the bucket back into the bucket.

They will hunt and kill the streaker and the streaker will have more challenge than they can deal with if they attempt said streak.

balance is maintained if not increased in agressive tendancies of the masses in regards to engaging in a spirited fight.


Now I want:

Jerk Tag for kill streak on the icon.  

109K4-94    Thats 94 kills I have right now this tour (1 disco dosnt count if you go by these rules) and I havent died.you know you want to wreck that streak like a losing team wrecking a perfect game!

Current Kill Streak for this player. 94 (Fester)

Best Streak of All Time for this player. 172 (Fester)

[Citabria]

see bruvs for it. one of the few others capable of a big kill streak he is yes.

and this streak counter would be across all scoring types. dies once in gv/bomber/attack fighter and it should reset.


if your gonna streak don't game the system. live or get killed.

streak reset upon any death or capture but not ditch or disco please.

discos are to random and cruel.

ya I wouldn't be surprised at all...when we fought in the DA a couple weeks ago I was very impressed with the 51 flying, not many can whip that thing around slow and compete with a KI.

[Bruv119]

When I did 50 aces in 3 days, I vowed to never attempt it again for my own sanity and the fact it was nearly impossible to repeat.

There comes a point where you consciously know the pressure is building up, I mean when you reach the 100 or so kills mark, this is the easy part, but then one mistake,  one buff gunner,  one random ack gun can kill it.  I only felt comfortable with such pressures because I routinely picked up rack after rack and it was rare to see my plane without some rocks.  

It then comes down to pure luck and having 200% SA watching every dot and paranoid map reading.    If guys like Fester want this bizarre form of torture when they are flying then why not?  

not hard to implement many games do it,  even on WW2OL they have it.

[Guppy35]

I sure don't care either way.  But I wonder if it's worth the time to code it?  Seems like a piece of paper and a pencil to make hashmarks next to the comp would work just as well

[MK-84]

FA had an ACE system,  if a streak was implemented I would like to see the same target initiated system.

So your enemy would see your icon   with say   *50 (the * indicating 5 kills in a row without dying)   next to your name.   All well and good looking up your score and thinking great look at my KD but having your enemy know your on one will be more exciting for hunter and hunted alike.  

Nothing more impressive than 5 wingmen with racks of 10+ stars,  your enemy has to think twice whether they want to take your streak or run in the opposite direction   

I really like that Idea

[Kazaa]

What realism does displaying the kill streak counter next to a plane icon give?

A pilot in real life wouldn't know how many kills the enemy plane had.

As I understand it a lot of other flight comabt sims use this feature, there has to be a reason?

[Bruv119]

What realism does displaying the kill streak counter next to a plane icon give?

In real life, a pilot wouldn't know how many kills the enemy plane had.

the Germans painted all sorts of kill markings on their planes,  not that you would have seen them in any great detail because they were like WHOOSH!!! 

I also read somewhere that some guy in WW1 even painted his entire plane bright RED   

[lyric1]

Don't really care on this one. I don't see anything wrong with it though.

[Yeager]

I actually like this idea......

I would like to see the pink plane system implimented where the top players of the last tour had bright pink skins applied for all to see during the following tour.

[hitech]

No.

HiTech

[Yeager]

well, that settles that 

[guncrasher]

No.

HiTech

I want a Hitech no to a wish counter.

semp

some people forget that he said no last year to the same wish, he even gave an explanation why.  a little longer than today's  .
