Author Topic: Despicable behavior in base capture... (Read 984 times)

Preon1 · « **on:** September 22, 2001, 04:23:00 PM »

Until a few days ago, I had always assumed that killshooter took affect if you shot ANY allied unit. However, I came to witness a friendly plane over an enemy base strafing out our own paratroopers while they were under chute.
At first I thought this was just a fluke, but after asking around about it, I come to find that there are people who actually switch sides to strafe paratroopers before a base is captured. There are also those who will strafe the troops carried by the goon that got there earlier so his later squadron mate can get the base capture.
This kind of behavior is fundamentally wrong and goes against the entire spirit of the game, especially seeing as how there is nothing we can do to prevent it.
HTC, is there anything that can be done to stop this?

If you shoot friendly troops, your plane should explode instantly.

Agreed, also the killshooter should be turned off 1/2 an hour for the offender so his countrymen can put ventilate his plane

Ofcourse John, but what about the guy who is on his last sortie of the night and decides to be the wolf in sheep's clothing? He can switch sides, tear up troops, land, go to sleep, and be back in his native country the next afternoon.

Wotan,

Heh. I know you were kidding. I was just expressing my shared exasperation for that.

I hate flying Goons for these reasons:

1) The call goes out, you grab a Goon and fly over there only to find that either the field isn't even close to ready or there is a bunch of enemy aircraft over it with no friendlies in the area.

2) The call goes out and you say you'll Goon it, you communicate all the way in about your position and the status of the field only to find that somebody else got there first without saying a word. The funny thing about this is that I wouldn't mind being a backup Goon, I just want to know that I'm the backup Goon.

Yes, many times it goes as planned, but it is too common for the other things to happen. It makes flying Goons frusterating.

There are people with multible accounts, as well as squad members in different countries and will use them to "spy"
Our squad realized sometime ago to keep info such as which base we're hitting and where our gooney is to squad channel comms only.

It makes goonin' frustrating for sure, but "LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS"

What I hate is when I fly a goon all the way to a base being vulched, and my countrymates actually expect me to drop my drunks on the base.

It's much more fun to throw my drunks out at any enemy planes trying to kill me.

I can't believe this kind of thing is going on and I think it should stop immediately!

I know I've not answered the call a few times just because its a two handed 2 eyed afair flying nap-o-earth in a goon through canyons and over hill all the while watching for goon hunters. Typing "YES YES I'm OMW" for the 3rd time just seems about 4th on the list of important things to take care of. But hey, maybe thats just me

Is there a feature like AW where you get a "persona non-grata" status for the next 24hrs or so and you don't get ammo?

This will force the guy like that to fly goons for the next day!!

A justified punishment <G>
