Minni Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 As the title says, I'd argue hiding the scoreboard for all players would lessen the quakeish playstyle in missions it's not called for and it could also be used to hide any human players joining the opposing side adding a level of surprise to some missions for sure. Added option would be to show the scoreboard upon landing/server quit/death etc so those who care about the score would get their satisfaction if the mission maker so chooses. This has been mentioned on and off on the forums and Discord but the Wishlist search turned up results no newer than 2018. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

MikeMikeJuliet Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Agreed. This is truly needed for more realistic missions! Live scoreboard allows for kill confirmation and in part promotes K/D over actual mission objectives. Regards, MikeMikeJuliet DCS Finland | SF squadron Link to post Share on other sites

Haukka81 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 +1 for this. Would be nice, this is not FPS shooter. And if its option, its up to server to use or not to use.

de.Impact Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I literally thought about this when I clicked on this subforum and then saw your post. +10000000 Removing the list of the enemy aircraft gives so much more depth to a mission since parf of flying is getting to ID aircraft that are nose cold. This is such a simple feature that could add so much more depth to mp gameplay ! TAW_Impact Link to post Share on other sites

MikeMikeJuliet Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hiding the scoreboard will not affect player behavior, it's very naive to think it will @@ I think it is naive to think that it wouldn't. The scoreboard makes it possible to confirm kills in situations where you shouldn't be able to with absolute certainty - say, BVR in IFR. Sure, you can see if the enemy disappeared, but that's no guarantee that he is dead. Not knowing for sure ought to keep a player more on their toes. That is a definite behaviour change.

Mars Exulte Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 @MMJ Conceded. I was referring to the air quake mentality mentioned, I've been playing online games a long time and never seen presence/lack of consequences significantly alter behavior. Some players are aggressive killwhores and others are cowardly/risk averse with others inbetween, but the extremities are personality traits not related to game mechanics :p But yeah, you're right, lack of kill confirmation would indeed affect behavior significantly.

de.Impact Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 If you fly an a2g mission in a striker aircraft in a multiplayer server, you can constantly check if there are any players in enemy fighter airplanes spawning. If you check the slot selection screen, you even get inflight the information from which airport they will depart. Hiding the aircraft list / kill count and making the slot selection list unaccessible when in cockpit can help alot with immersion and intel about the other side, allowing for more supprise attacks and more realistic gameplay in the end. Flying nose cold actually can then actually make a difference by not giving your aircraft type and its effective missile range away instantly. TAW_Impact Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Big.Biggs Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I agree. The reason people “cheat” it makes them feel like other people look at their score and say Wow!!!
