Request for options in future versions of IL2 that may promote better team play and/or a more enjoyable online experience.

Option to Hide Score Column while playing online
The option for dedicated dogfight servers to hide the players score column from players while flying online. This option might help eliminate some of the bad behavior of those seeking to fluff how they look on the scoreboard and promote better team play. It also may eliminate some of the bickering about score/points that players get tired of listening to.. It may also attract more players to fly online. This increase of online players could come from players who previously left online play because the above mentioned issues. There are also new players who hesitate to come online to play because they may be embarrassed by their online score. Either way it would be a nice option for the admin of a server to have. (Regardless of the split points debate/resolution)

Who Won in an online dogfight??
Who Won? - The ability for the server to show which team won in an online dogfight server across the center of the screen like it does in a coop. Currently this can not be done without the use of 3rd party tools. Even then it doesn't show across the center of the screen like a COOP and it's only seen by those displaying multiple lines of chat.

(How this was not included in the original game baffles me. Spend years to make a game that pits two teams against each other and then when the battle is over don't show them who won. Then throw in a convoluted scoring system that only shows the individual players score and lets see how well they work together as a team... Oh and lets give them chat so they can spend all night bickering about who stole what.)

Option to Ban a player from chat... Chat blocker.
Some players wont stop talking, some players never have anything nice to say and others complain all evening. It would be great for an admin of a server to be able to block certain players from typing in chat or auto-kick them each time they use chat. We don't want to ban them from the server because we love to shoot them down...we just want them to be quiet.


In order to improve online TEAM play the focus needs to be on the TEAM win.
Improved team play will reduced the individual bickering.

The chat bar should be filled with phrases like "Thanks for clearing my six" instead of the garbage that scrolls by currently.

Please considered these options for the future
-Show which team won
-Option to hide player's score.
-Option to ban from chat.
