Tank hulls - white skull 15 min later.

[delems]

I've noticed, on most friendly tank deaths.  The white skull doesn't appear until 15 min later - presumably when then hulk leaves the map?

Should be the white skull occurs when the tank is killed, and not when the hulk despawns.

Skulls are crap. If we're to have them, they should cease occurring when the player makes Major.

My understanding is, the justification for skulls is to help inexperienced players see where deaths are occurring near them.

So is your proposal that players stop seeing skulls once they make Major...?

[fidd]

Just so.

For me they show twice for tanks, once when killed, as per normal, and the second time when the hulk goes and the name on the skull is blank (just hulks including truck hulks etc).

I rarely see a skull on friendly tank kill - 1 in 20 maybe at best?  But it does happen on occasion.

So when the hulk "goes" do you see the tankers name? 

I see every friendly death as far as I know.

[delems]

I rarely do- only if skull comes on first death; nearly every skull is empty of name. (for vehicles, not infantry)

It just says ' died here' when I hover over it.

Should be a thing of the past , just get rid of them along with the blue ones .

[delems]

You can turn off the blue ones; maybe even the white ones, not sure.

Should not be a choice , either we play all by the same rules or not. 

Best option is till a certain rank after that it's a thing of the past.
