It's pretty rare to see someone who is so new that they are shooting at green cons. In fact, I can only recall this happening once.

The argument that your SA just wasnt good enough holds no water here. Every last one of us drops SA as we concentrate on the shot. Now, that doesnt mean that our SA goes away entirely, it just isnt as high when you are concentrating on the shot.

Imo if someone is dumb enough to fly through your bullet stream they deserve the death, not you. If real life pilots did that they would be permanently removed from the gene pool and we wouldnt be worried about their stupidity being passed on to their offspring.

HiTech could code the game so that friendly fire does no damage. Shane will step in and say he hates seeing people spray bullets all over the place with no regard for friendly planes.....but that happens already. So whats the difference?

The one thing I see as a far larger problem than kill shooter is when you have done lethal damage to an enemy plane (ie, missing an entire wing, all the stabs gone etc) and some bottomfeeding goofball comes by and explodes the crippled aircraft and gets credit for a kill and all you get is an assist.

Well Put Elfie

And I like the kill shoot system better then air warriors system.

Infact I disliked the PNG system so much I invented the Kill shooter system. Still have fond memories of having my first 13 kill mission, flying back , no enemies in the sector, and low and behold here comes a newbie from dead 6 to shoots me down.

The 262 problem is easy to fix. Perks should not be lost due to being killed by freindly fire.

On the other hand...it is clear that the (Kill Shooter) is here to stay based on you personal experience.

That fix those no good blankity blank fellow countrymen!

I remember watching The History Channel and these B-17s were flying over a town and they dropped their bombs, then BOOOOOOM they exploded........ friendly tank in town.

B-17s Dead 1000 lbs of bombs right on the tank...not a dent.

realism for you

I remember watching the history channel and this guy in a 5 incher on the CV was shooting into a furball and killing friendlies as well as enemies and when he went to the tower and the system awarded him 29 kills he got several wtgs.

There was another episode where this pilot killed his wingman and was told one more time and he'd get a 24 hr time-out.

And then there was the show where everyone died and came back to life .....

you killed your wingman in real life and you got a few months time-out (grounded)

24 AH hours = 6 months real time, dang look at things on a large scale

I think the lack of kill shooter being on tonight should put this kind of request into the grave.

I havent flown since this has happened. Are people being more careful? Are there penalties for shooting a friendly?

They figure wth I'll just slide in at try for the kill, I wont die, just the shooter will. In AW although the shooter would get a PNG if he shot a friendly down twice, the "victim" would die...making him think twice about "sliding in". It trained him to stay clear.

I couldnt agree more! I like the AW sollution much better and I dont see why it couldnt be implemented!

Oh yeah I remember this one time at band camp!

I saw one where Arlo returned from the dead and took his revenge on those who thought they had killed him. He had all kinds of cool weapons he bought at the flea market.

Heres my solution to killshooter. Take it off,
dont even allow the person getting shot at to hear the pings, this is if he is a friendly. And if you say this is gamey, isnt shooting at a friendly that wasnt watching and flying threw streams of bullets, and you get dmged for that, isnt that gamey?

Digging up a year old thread is gamey.

I would have agree with that hitech guy. The last thing I need is to be rtb-ing max cruise with kills and have some idiot friendly shooting at me. Although kill shooter can be annoying when vulching, but none of us do that regularly anyways.
