Did you have icons on Ratsy?

I did have icons on.  I thought you were a 'leaker' headed to the boat from the dogfight you mentioned when I picked up your dot.  Between the scotch and my powers of self-persuasion I was sure you were a Hellcat bound for the CV.

When I set up the attack I was only looking at your silhouette...the icon data was below my point of focus.  I saw your national insignia as I broke off.  It was too late.

I hope you rack up a stack next frame.

Tshark of the LCA was the Axis ace this frame. He was gunned down with three kills by a friendly. It sucks because he was on a pretty good run.

Any explaination one that one?



There were several Axis friendly incidents. There was an axis player with 4!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

So now the Friendly Fire rules will severely penalize the Axis for this right?

One pilot shot down 4 friendlies??

I do hope said pilot's CO takes him/her out behind the wood shed for a talk...

I'm not surprised, some were shooting over my shoulder without thought. I was lucky my plane wasn't ruined like maw's

I can see how it would be easy to get some unintentional friendly kills:  You are in Ki-67s with some squad mates following.  While shooting at some blue planes, your drones put a few rounds in the some trailing 67s.  You kill the blue planes and the 67s you pinged crash or get shot down by ship ack giving you the kills.  If you put a single round into a friendly (or enemy), you own it until another player puts in two rounds.  If the guy that put in the two rounds dies or towers out, you own it again.

 :salute Ratsy and Nef.

I suspect Buff on Buff friendly fire happened alot.  Was it at Saipan that the Enterprise hosed down a friendly Destroyer with 40mm?  :airplane:

Happens.  And you know in WWII their frame rate wasn't that good!

Their frame rate may not have been very good, but at least they had icons at 6k. :rofl

That's like an inside joke.  We had a Squaddie one time on climbout in FSO call over the radio:  "Did you know in WWII icons were set at 2.5K?"  What?  Is it Friday yet?  :joystick:
