While I think a change in the system for handling griefers wouldn't be a good idea in the MA at this point, I am interested in reading what your issues with a PNG type system are or were. I'm not trying to be provocative here, I am curious.

Bingo! Well said.

What many people are missing here, is KS is a PUNISHMENT. It is a deterent to shooting at/near friendlies and forces people to play in a more realistic fashion. Any of the other "solutions" so far proposed would only increase over-the-shoulder-shooting and kill-stealing would run rampant. Ya'll would be begging for KS after you had numerous kills stolen from you by unscupulous griefer types.

Come on HiTech, tell us some stories!! Love to hear others stories :)


Btw HiTech, what issues do you have with your bullets not harming friendlies? (Bullets dont pass through friendlies, they just dont do damage to friendly aircraft/vehicles) We have this now with ordinance.

That isnt any more *gamey* than not being able to collide with friendlies either :)

The only times I have killshootered were times when a friendly warped in front of me OR......dove in from a perch, right through my bullet stream. I keep tracers on so friendly's know when I am firing.

In the first case, I am being punished for someone else's warp. In the second case, I am being punished for someone else's stupidity. There is nothing realistic about flying through someone else's bullet stream and watching THEM die from their own bullets. Realisticaly (sp) no pilot in their right mind would intentionally fly into ANYONE's bullet stream, friendly or enemy :)

Well, no shoulder clapping intended, but the few times i *did* killshoot myself (in a HMk1) i ended up either with a pilot kill, a pilot wound, or at least considerable damage.

Unless of course i intended for the killshot and didnt want to down myself, shooting only half second bursts with one bank of 303s.



PS: I *never* downed myself unintentionally by KS with any plane (and i fly cannoned armed planes as well ;)).

I have seen gun camera footage of a friendly plane flying in front of another while it was firing. Don't know if it was intentional or not. :D

Bagrat, we're not all being sarcastic, and there's nothing you could explain to us anyway. The basic premise here is that KS is supposed to be bad. It isn't supposed to be fun or earn you perks; it's in place to deter a specific behavior. There's no better solution to accomplish what HTC wants here.

The only problem is that you're too ****ing stupid to read and comprehend what's been said about 9,000 times.

Don't shoot greens! How much ****ing plainer do you need it to be?

kill shooter isn't perfect, but what in life is....especially in a game played over the intardnet.

i do have a couple of solutions worth considering though :rolleyes:

1) HTC could turn of kill shooter, so that everyone can kill everyone.  The next step would be to go to NATO and get some peace keepers or even better would be to hire some mercenaries, so that they in turn could shoot down the offending parties.  and don't worry about being vulched by your own team, im sure that would never happen.

2) install floating repair rings, so that if someone jumps in front of you will shooting, inadvertently k/s yourself, you still have a chance to fire the back-up thrusters and anti gravity modules, so that you can make it through the ring, which also refuels, so you can continue fight.

3)make it so no bullets harm friendly planes, just spray and pray you get your kill before the other guy, a valid tactic used in WW2.  though they did have deflector shields back then, which haven't been added to ah2 yet.

in all cases, we should also be able to "tag" passing clouds with our own custom pics.:aok   Vast

ps. i just had another brainstorm, what if instead of mercs we had monkeys.  how awesome would that be....one second your thinking "oh, its ok, its just a merc."  and then you take a second look and your like "omg its not a merc, its a freaking monkey.":O
