Turn the friendly fire off!
« Reply #15 on: September 01, 2004, 07:55:37 AM »
Ghosth I got here in June. If friendly fire was off...totally off...I wouldnt have died at all if friendlies were hitting me, or me them. Some of  you make it sound like Im sitting behind someone following them around chasing a guy, blazin away, and shooting my wings off.

    Its the guy that drops in front of me while Im shooting that gets hit by my fire.

I thought the idea of instead of taking damage you lose all your ammo to be a great one.

Leave it on.
Lotta reasons for it certainly more reasons to keep it then get rid of it

And from what I've witnessed, 95% of all killshooters are the shooters own fault

All due respect. Poor SA your part. and possibly gun dicipline

 Maintain SA by looking around form time to time  and Listen for engines. That arent your own.
You should be doing this anyway in case there are badguys around.

Unless your target is cant miss point blank. Dont spray
Fire in short bursts only. this alone will reduce the likelyhood of you hitting anything that jumps in front of you because you can stop shooting.

And dont fire at the guy who the guy in front of you is firing at. Unless you have an absolutely clear shot
Poor form and bad manners

I occasionally hear this complaint but never  ever had it happen to me in over 2 1/2 years. Not even one time.


You sure its friendly ack and not an enemy in a FP or a stray bullet from an enemy plane?

Yup, only happened once or twice to me in almost 5 years from field ack. The CV acks are another story. Take off from a CV while the acks are firing at a low con (topedo plane) and it will happen roughly 50% of the time. Obviously less of a problem when the acks are firing upwards though.

Why have it cause any damage? Friendly fire in most cases is an accident so why should anyone pay. If it's not gonna damage the victim then why should it damage the shooter. No harm no foul right?

BUT take out the ability of gunners to land kills from damaged bombers.

Strangely enough, I think killshooter is important to realism.  In actual combat, you wouldn't be able to shoot if a friendly was in the way.  Why should you be able to blast away through a friendly to get a kill?  As to the question of who takes damage, I figure that the shooter getting the damage is a fair approximation of the court-marshal that would follow shooting down a friendly.

Killshooter NEEDS to be here.



if it NEEDS to be here, then punish both sides, not just 1.  BOTH are at fualt, so both should take the punishment.

Wrong I'm afraid.  If it doesn't do damage then it doesn't give any reason to not shoot past friendlies.  That completely distorts the air combat and makes the defensive fighter's job much, much harder.

Those of you who suffer frequent KS incidents need to look to why that is.  I hear constant complaints of "He flew in front of me while I was shooting."  In the 4+ years I've played AH I have only had a few instances of people do that and only once did it result in a KS incident for me.  I have died due to KS less than 10 times and I am not particularly timid.

I'm sorry, but I can only conclude that you are not paying enough attention to what is going on around you, both enemy and friendly wise.
