Kill streaks?

[Skoshi Tiger]

One of the most miserable time I've had was on line just after the stats had been reset for the month. I had (by pure luck ) managed to get my kill/ deaths up to 4/0! I only needed one more kill to become an Ace!

It took me two days of continually looking over my shoulder, trying picking my moment to get that last kill to make myself ace. I was a complete bundle of nerves, Finally I found my victim! I set myself up perfectly and dove in for the attack!

Just at that time my wife came into the room threw her arms around me and gave me a big pashy kiss on the face and told me it was time for dinner!

I over shot and became disorientated and before I could disenguage myself from my wifes embrace, I'd had been riddled with bullets and cannon shells and my aircraft spiraled down in a flames!

I haven't taken too much note of winning streaks since then!

We already have options to make il2 ( and CoD ) easier for new comers. So what is the point of this thread? Even really relaxed setting servers are available in Il2.

What I don't want is that this guy in video suggested gettings some new equipments to your plane when you get more kills, something like 20x20mm to your B17 (if I understood it right), or even jet engines.

That would be like Crimson Skies, fun but different game and different market

Getting cumulative killmarks to your plane would be nice effect, but I dont't know if it is included in CoD or how difficult it would be to implement.

The point? Listen to Luthier's comments about how IL-2 was not easy enough to get into. Just interested in ways this could be achieved. I already said I don't think the kill streaks would be particularly good.

Point is that they have implemented it If someone is not interested to take the learning curve from easiest settings to hardest, then they are just not into WW2 era combat sim games. Or flying for that matter in any form

These type of games just are not for casual gamers. It is just a matter of attitude, even in easiest level. Old timers blow new comers from sky, you either take the beating and learn, or you get frustarted and leave the game.

It is just part of human nature
