tell me, how would it work when 2 people spawn at the same time? How would it work if a whole mission spawned at the same time?

Also how would it work if I changed country, stalked you with .goto and kept killing you on the runway? Would YOU stop playing?

Immediately no. Eventually after I get fed up with enough trolls ( which would not take long at ALL ) I would indeed leave I am sure.

I would, because friendly fire would simply kill the MA quickly.

I suspect business would rapidly diminish.

It would be great on two conditions.

1: no friendly collisions under 50ft AGL.

2: frindly kill would mean an extended time period unable to fly unless the player you killed types in a command to forgive you.

As I seem to remember, friendly fired was enabled in Air Warrior. More than __ friendly kills got you PNG'd for X amount of time.

In answer to the question, no and no.

I may be wrong on this, but i seem to recall, a few years ago,that shooting a friendly put you in the tower. At least in GV's.

No, I think that it would lead to a more realistic feeling. Maybe like that in FSO.

I'd like collisions to be enabled aside from takeoffs and landings.

Heh.  It's been tried in the AvA.  As others note, it's virtually impossible for people to take off from a busy base because they all collide with each other.  The killshooter debate goes back and forth.  It's far more realistic, but it encourages weenies to shoot their countrymen ("What?  Well there were spies and friendly fire in the real war, you know!").  Those who remember AW's fraggers may recall the road-rage feeling you got when one of them shot you down. 

HTC finally said "no mo' killshooter-off," even in the AvA.

That is the way it is now. He is asking how it would be with that off so that when you shoot a friendly the friendly would die.

If there were no consequences, it would would be bedlam. Look at how many people go out of there way to do things just to tick people off now. Give them a weapon like this and it would be useless as a game any more.

We have a winner here!  I agree with Lusche's assessment.  It is turned off in events for more realism, but then you rarely see folks greifing in scenarios and such.  In the MA, it would happen to no end.  Imagine the complaints HTC would get.
