The MA is wild territory. Unfortunately most people do not care. Perhaps HT should turn off protections for friendlies who fly through their own team mates tracers.

It would be more realistic, same with collisions. I say let it rip. :)

It won’t work in the MA tho. Players would switch sides just to shoot down the enemy from within.

Put them both on, kill shooter to stop the intentional friendly killings, but let the friendlies take the damage to to try and slow to morons from clearing your 12 oclock.

Success is a bit of an overestimation, but thanks.   :cheers:

My P-39 has been retired though, as it succeeded in joining my unofficial "1000 Kills Club".  (pats self on back)

Hope you got to check off the P-39Q on your "Kill Every Plane" achievement, because they won't be such a common sighting anymore.


Trying the P-38J now and the very first sortie was the impetus of this thread.

P38 has been a target magnet since beta.. even guys with bad aim think they have a chance.

Great idea. I agree. It ups the game play. More disciplined flying. This could have wide effects on crappy game play.

Call HT now.

Edit. I’m serious, best working idea I’ve read in a long time.

I always ask “ you ok with that guy?” If they say yes I don’t inject myself.

I’ve had 6-7 trying to catch and kill me. Lil over-kill.

Exactly whay I do, ask first .... but on the group trying to kill you if we are close to win a base and you show to kill troops...    :salute

This does make some added excitement for sure.
In the game I currently play, I've had 3 enemy planes on my tail, one shot down his buddy trying to shoot me. The remaining two collide trying desperately for the kill and I laugh all the way back to my base with my shot-up plane.

The other one that's crazy with this is when you and a buddy are gong after the same enemy plane from different angles you need to be aware of where your teammate is so you don't collide and take yourself out of the fight.
