I get a KS ping or two once every 4-5 months. I've only recieved lethal damage from it about 3 times in about 5 years (started in beta tour 1).

I see no reason to tamper with the way KS works now, it is better than any of the dozen alternatives that have been discussed to death.

i once accidentally pulled the trigger in a 262 on the runway taking off and hit furball, killing myself. other than that, maybe 2-3 times in 3 years, last time being the other day trying to clear someones 6.  very rare occurance. i think most people that have high rates of KS (if there are any in that category) are the hordelings that have 8 friends chasing the same con. they deserve to be KS for hording.

now KS myself on purpose is another story...i love trying to vulch squaddies...prolly why my K/D sucks.

twice in 12 months playing, i play regularly.

if a goodie flies infront of you, stop shooting. simple enough.

but then my aim was always better than my pilot skills :D


i am for killshooter.


CHECK THIS OUT: the damage mosel for kill shooter is superb. perfect in fact.
 
one boring morning i was winging with a squaddie in 190 A5s.

i was sat D100 off his tail, and decided to shoot some MG into his right wing. i fire, and sure enough, a neat row of holes appears in my wing right where i hit him.  I shoot a few rounds into his left wing, same happens. i shoot a few into the base of his left wing, 4 little holes appear on the base of my left wing. I shoot into his tail, and can just make out a hole on the leading edge of my right tail plane. i shoot his rudder, my rudder falls off :)

i shoot into his cockpit and a hole appears in my canopy.

on and on i shot into his plane, in the end i had over 25 holes in my wings and tail, but i did not die nor lose more than my rudder.

finaly, i shoot some cannon into the center of his tail.

BOOM!

im dead.

excelent modeling HT, now i know that when a hole appears in my wing, that was the exact spot i was hit in.

Let me be clear

Of all the gameplay concession we have to make, of all the little things that are required to keep the game fun....

Killshooter is the BEST when you take the cost -vs- benefit.


No other solutions would prevent so many issues so easily.  Sure it sucks to be KS...but it sucks a lot less than A N Y other solution Ive seen put forth.

KILLSHOOTER has a huge net positive on gameplay...period.

I can't remember if the original AW dos had killshooter. WB has it and AH of course.  AW, WB and AH combined, I've killshootered myself probably less than 10 times.

Which proves that killshooter works.

I have only had the killshooter happen a few times... a few at 20K+ in bombers, others caused my team-mates cutting in front of me when i am running someone down.

That being said, I hate killshooter, always will... I have had too many idiots jump in front of me in a dogfight.  Flame me if ya like, but I think it is the most ummm how shall i say this??? "Light-in-the-loafers" element of the game.  I have read posts in here from players bragging about causing a killshooter.  Why not deduct points instead?  Another possibility would be to have a "team kill" situation where the kill must be forgiven or a limit is reached and you're suspended from play.  This does work in other games.
