Dork, they took that out of the game awhile ago.

Really?!?  That sucks.  We had some of our most fun times "accidentally" shooting a troop or 2 to ensure a Bastard capture.

lol when did they change that?

Remember those whines a long while back about

"HT theres a troop bug I released my troops and didnt get a capture...."

:)

I remember listening on range channel

"Half my troops just disappeared"...

"WTF... Why didnt I get that capture"...

"This buggy game is pissing me off"...

All the while I watch a squaddies m3 racing in with his troops firng from the 50 cal and laughing his arse off...

I dunno whats funnier the 'ole 100 check 6 calls or the troop killing...

Yeah, I think that was why Creamo quit.  I still try from time to time hoping that some setting wasn't turned on by mistake.  However, no go, you can't kill them.

No, Hooli. I've found that a 2D monitor gives me the exact same visual cues and ability to easily move my head around or glance at something that I get in the cockpit! It's amazing!


If you truly belive this then you really need to turn off the computer and get out some more...!

Yes i agree on the PNG whole heartedly.
I was a very good method of dealing with team killing WITHOUT making the innocent suffer.
This is by far the best method of dealing with Sloppy Careless pilots i have seen in flight sims. Keeps fellow countrymen from arguing about those instances where the careless pilot zooms right by his team mate and right in front of his blazing guns!
Think of it as a Peace making Tool. BTW anyone noticed the heated comments and arguments that breakout on range channel when these thing happen? Along with Kill Stealling of course. I see where the PNG approach would even curtail the so called "Kill Steals"
Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please .
PNG for AH2. Ill even ask nicely. Please

Doesnt everybody already have these things?
Little advise here...Be sure to rinse the Piss tube at least every 3 days. :D

Yeah we know this. Although im not up to par on exactly why HTC wont change killshooter or trade it for a PNG system. We like to dream the impossible dream from time to time. But it is as it is. And everytime we ping our own plane and in some cases killshoot our selves with a few pings from a cannon gun, some players shall go on calling fellow countrymen prettythang Holes and Stupid bastages and YES the F-Bomb has become prevalent in recent months on range channel as well. :mad:. (Another reason for a perma squelch on range) Makes for a wonderfull and pleasant game experience though.
HT I understand that you were a part of AW development team in some capacity. And of course we know AW used the PNG to control freindly fire. Why isnt the PNG as good an option as Killshooter.

Good day. :)
