Have to agree with that. All the times (I think) that I've hit myself due to killshooter killed me. If only I could be so effective on the enemy.

first , i have never been killed by killshooter, i never shoot unless i have a clear shot at enemy, but i would like friendly fire turned on , also friendly collisions should be on , and no spawn points at the ends of runways, we should have to spawn in hangers or on hard stands and taxi to the runway. takeoff and landing priorties could be controled by "otto ' in the tower.

why can't the small fields have big grassy fields instead of paved runways?

In this thread, I've seen one person argue that killshooter is an obvious gameplay flaw (you), and five people (AKIron, Raubvogl, Wotan, Nefarious, and myself) who think it's just fine. A couple of others offered commentary without appearing to support or despise it.

What that tells me is that despite the fact that threads keep starting about killshooter, a vast majority of people are happy with it. For every one of the dozens of threads started that rail against killshooter, in the end it always appears that those who support it outnumber those who don't by thread's end.

So where's the problem after all?

I could tolerate friendly fire only if the offender went PNG for a while after a couple of incidents within say a 24 hour period. Airwarrior was like this, at least in the early years.

Funny thing happened last night,
A squadmate and I flying together spotted a 109 that got low slow, and was trying to run home, we both raced to get him. At one point my squadmate got out in front of me, but I was diving enough to slowly pull ahead of him, he was spraying the 109 at about 600 yards, just as I pulled slowly though him.

He killshootered himself as my wing flew through his guns, before he could even see it.

I started putting a notch on my monitor everytime there was a killshooter whine on this BBS. It has just fallen apart

Gee...if they change killshooter, then how will we hold killshooter duels when we get bored defending a base with no more targets coming in? Or how do we get back to the tower quickly without having to auger or land?

Its much easier to saddle up on a friendly and blast yourself away so that you can re-up elsewhere to thwart the evil knitrook hordes.

I don't think there is any increase to damage done from killshooter, we kill each other all the time in killshooter duels and I just don't see it. Specially using hurricane Is.

Sling, FDBs are barred from any discussions on killshooter seeing as they are one of the primary reasons its necessary.

Yes, a vast majority. People start threads about things they don't like far more often than they do about things they like. Why would you expect that there should be as many "I love killshooter!!" threads as "I hate killshooter!!" threads? Naturally the latter will outnumber the former since killshooter is the status quo.

More telling is that most killshooter threads degenerate into more people showing support for it than railing against it. This thread is one case in point.

DMF. Nice spin. You should go into politics. The truth is, I don't have any strong feelings about KS, one way or the other. I was just trying to float an idea.

The real challenge, to putting an idea out, around here. Is to get it past the apologists / cheerleaders. They apparently carry beepers that alert them when someone post something that might remotely indicate that there is an imperfection in AH.

I'm with John9001 on this. I always thought the AW PNG period was a the best compromise to discourage friendly fire and kill stealing.

So, now we degenerate to name calling. Seems to happen most when the argument is weak.

Jeez guys! I was just tossing out an idea. I didn't know these things were carved into the sacred stone. I'll bear my left shoulder in deference to Rome. And sacrifice a bull.
