I reserve my right to pass judgement until it actually happens.  My first thought is a *thumbs up* to friendly collisions and a *thumbs down* to friendly fire.

Would I quit?  I doubt it.  I'd just make sure to keep my distance from all aircraft friend or foe, ya know, like the real deal.   :aok

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.

The "PNG" status that was supposed to deter these guys rarely seemed to do so.  Killshooter really is a way to ban stupid.

I thought friendly fire damages the plane of the shooter. That is the way it should stay.

That is how it works and I agree it should remain so.  The OP was asking if we'd quit if it were changed.

For me, as long as the taking off and landing issue could be resolved, I'd be fine with friendly collisions.  Friendly fire, well, I'd give HTC a month or so to reverse course before quitting.

I would, because friendly fire would simply kill the MA quickly.
Ummm...friendly fire is already on....  :huh

No, kill shooter.  By friendly fire they mean Me, a rook, being able to shoot down Bob, a Rook, with the cannons on my Spitfire.

I'd vote for friendly fire being on and against friendly collisions.

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?

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.

I think it could be controlled.   If someone was killing friendly players,  say two or three in 24 hour period, that player could be PNG for a week or two.  or not allowed into the same arena for a month.

So I have one free kill per day of a friendly and expensive 262 or B-29 returning from sortie with a lot of scalps?

Oh what FUN that's going to be!
