5-in. Gun Question
« on: July 25, 2006, 12:03:00 PM »
Can human-manned 5-in. AA guns damage or destroy a friendly aircraft? I think not, but another friendly player mentioned that I killed him with the 5-in. gun while he was jousting with the nme aircraft. Thanks in advance.

Depends on the arena settings.  If killshooter is off, as it is in AvA, then the five-inch gun (and all other manned guns) kill anyone, indiscriminately.  Shouldn't bother friendlies in the MA, I would think.

However, it's often believed the same holds true for AUTOMATIC firing guns; that isn't true. ALL aut AAA, be it 20mm or 5", will kill anything it hits.

In any arena where killshooter is turned off, mannables will kill friendlies.
