Lord_Haw-Haw Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 It would be nice if it where possibile to add proper Kill marks onto the skins of the aircraft. Here is an example of a Ju 88s killmarks:
VeryOldMan Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Issue is, the average online flier will rack way more kills than hartman.. in 2 years most will have all plane surface covered by marks, even the underside of the plane 2

If you lose them when you get shot down and pilot dies... this way the balance between virtual and real counterpart will take care of things But an embedded system for Career mode reflecting kill marks might not be a priority.

Volkoff Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) It would be neat if your kill marks matched your current in game streak, so that if you have a current streak of fouteen kills, you have fourteen kill marks and when your current kill streak drops back to zero kills, for whatever reason, you have zero kill marks, etc. It is a nice luxury item for the devs to consider, for down the road..

FlyingNutcase Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I wonder if having "kill streak"/"kills this life" kill markings would encourage more realistic flying, like avoiding risky behavior to protect your achievement. I haven't thought about that beyond the last 60 seconds though so feel free to kill this hope.
FlatSpinMan Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Kills per pilot life would be a great idea offline or on. 3
Lord_Haw-Haw Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 Kills per pilot life would be a great idea offline or on. That is how I would see it too! So you would never get the situation that a aircraft is covered top to bottom as someone feared. Here is another example from a Ju 88 as bomber kill marks are rather rare. 1
6./ZG26_Emil Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Kills per pilot life would be a great idea offline or on. Yeh that would be awesome
Ralith Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Neat in concept, but since other players would almost never be close enough to see them, and you'll rarely see them yourself, I don't see the point.
Porsche Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Would really like to see something like this implimented.
FlatSpinMan Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Neat in concept, but since other players would almost never be close enough to see them, and you'll rarely see them yourself, I don't see the point. Because it would be 'neat'. It would add a little extra layer of personalization and immersion, the same as choosing a pilot picture, name and bio. Also, we'll rarely get to see the internal structure of the planes either, but I'm glad that'll be there. 3

Perhaps they could make it so you see a view of your aircraft at the end of the mission or in the hangar as in ROF with live kill markings. At least the personal satisfaction side taken care of. In terms of online, I wonder if people would start exiting the game though if they're about to get killed. Probably a silly question...

I don´t think so, but it might change habbits? No more trying to bag that last enemy although your aircraft looks like swiss cheese, instead you would try and make it back to your base. I beleive with dead = points gone the Kamikazie type of pilots would be reduced to a small minority. As was in real life, as not every pilot willingly through away their lifes.
Skoshi_Tiger Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Kills per pilot life would be a great idea offline or on. As long as it didn't go into the negatives! I doubt my plane would have enough surfaces!
ITAF_Rani Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Issue is, the average online flier will rack way more kills than hartman.. in 2 years most will have all plane surface covered by marks, even the underside of the plane haahhahaha...lol
Gunsmith86 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Kill marks would look realy good on pictures and movies made after flights! 2
Gunsmith86 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 HS 129 tank kill marks: BF 109 with kill marks: 1
OBT-Psycho Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I think it would be a cool feature. I am not really looking for a link to your actual kills in the session or even to your avatar's score in carrer or online ranking or anything, but just at something like your plane number that you can set up before hit the "fly" button. It would be neat though if it was reflecting your actual score, but maybe just in a way where you get a kill if you manage to RTB or something. Let's say that even if you have several kills and get killed, it does not affect your score. But if you could validate that kill once you land your plane in safety and survive this, you got your kill
