Turn the friendly fire off!

[FiLtH]

Why should i take damage by hitting a friendly?  It makes NO SENSE!

[Vudak]

There will probably be a dozen reasons posted why the killshooter should remain on, but I'd be ok if it were off.

I'm not that great of a shot and have killed myself a few times trying to clear a friendly's six, especially if the friendly is in a bomber.

OTOH, I suppose it is good in the sense that at least some of the people chasing me must have killshot themselves at one point or another trying to hit me.

shrug.

Hey, if it keeps a 'shoulder shooter' honest - so be it.

BTW - and to all you shoulder shooters -  you're supposed to
clear my six, not my twelve

Out of the 3 times Ive killed myself this way, the 1st was when I first started and didnt know why I died when I hit a guy in front. The last two times has been when a friendly jumps down in front of me, between me and my target.  Im shooting and he passes right in front of my guns. Im to suffer for that?

[ebgb]

To be perfectly honest - I never shoulder shoot personally.  It's my superior tactical manuevering that puts me in front of their plane every time.

I vote for it on. ( A dozen reasons, I couldnt be bothered repeating)

Filth, how long have you been flying sir?

I know you were in the AH2 Beta.

So your talking at least 6 months right?

And you have exactly 3 cases where killshooter came into play, correct?

How many times would you have died if killshooter wasn't on?

Each of those guys that was shooting past you to kill the con in front could have killed you instead of themselves. Theres a couple right there.

Killshooter NEEDS to be here.

I agree, I have been chased a couple of times by friendly icons who were apparently new to the game and just upped from the same field. Just blazing away at me, it is a great way to introduce them to killshooter.

i still think a good solution would be for both shooter and shootee to take damage with the shooter still taking the "extra/focused" damage as current (unless this has changed?).

or when some guy is sitting in an ack vultching friendlies as they land.  It was off once in the CT.  It was a disaster.

tell me about it!!  friendly fire off in CT and using no icons for "immersion" played havoc with GV's!!!

Was twisting and turning with a/c all over the place when I pulled a sensational snap shot in a major furball against a spit that flashed in front of me the other week, and promptly blew my own wing off....

better me than him for my failure to properly ID a friendly...

this might be a silly question but is it possible to kill youself if you and a bunch of guys are in bombers and one of the friendly bombers is right under you as you drop your bombs, could your bombs hit his aircraft killing you?
