Probably the Xmas period and bored kids but I am seeing more and more fragging going on - Thank goodness for killshooter!
An example I filmed in the link below and I would add this one was going on some while before I started filming. - So what happens to people who ignore the Vox warnings and carry on ?
If killshooter was turned off I would not hesitate to shoot back.

AHAHAHAH He couldnt hit the broad side of a barn from the inside :rofl

Fly in front of him, he will get the damage. There is also a report system. Open the roser and right click on the name. You will see the option. If they are doing something that is against the terms of service, HTC will have it logged and can deal with it. I am not sure this would be considered against the terms of service. If it's anoying to you, it may be anoying to others and I am sure something can be done.
It is possible this is a new player and hasn't fingured out who to shoot. So offering help sometimes will do the trick.

"AHAHAHAH He couldnt hit the broad side of a barn from the inside"
Judging by his stats he likes to fly the D3A1 (and has three kills in it!), so perhaps he has been driven mad by the fear.

dude you should have put your plane in auto level and let him figure it out on his own.:aok

:huh
How can one be a fragger with killshooter enabled?
He can't hurt you, so I don't get what the whining is about.

Yeah, I agree. I'll even fly my plane into his tracer stream to make sure he gets a killshooter death just to teach him a lesson the hard way.
ack-ack

WOW, I agree with Ack on something :eek:
I do the same. When I see a nooby firing away and ignoring warnings about shooting at friendlies, I slow down and fly straight and level. I even give them a vox message letting them know I am slowing down for their target practice enjoyment. They usually learn in short order that GREEN = GOOD. :D

LOL well I did try to fly in front but he still couldn't shoot well enough to get killed. It's that that riled me most!
The area was under attack and so tracers cann't be ignored and they do divert your attention. This was one of those guys that ignores Vox and does his own thing.

I doubt you have had one shooting at you, but it does tend to screw with your SA as he moves from friendly to friendly and the next set of tracers you get tend to require evasives until you discover its the same twit back behind you again!

I don't know what was going on just prior to your film, but what you posted shows only a single enemy panzer -- so "messing with your SA" seems a moot point in this instance.
As for that same old twit . . . i'd say about half of my squad, myself included, end up shooting at each other in a situation like you posted (where we up at a field "under heavy attack" to find there are 6 of us airborne and the autoack has already dispatched the clumbsy/unlucky attackers). Why bail? I upped to shoot something, dangit, and if it has to be a squaddie, so be it!!!:D
Flying through hangers to make the sortie "meaningful" is a distant second . . .
I won't even mention the M-3 supply runs . . .

Why not ask the guy to join your squad.

Some new player do not understand/hear range voice transmission.
Also, keep in mind that some might come from H2H enviroment where shooting/fighting friendlies is the norm.
How about getting on private chat for second, explaining and maybe even offering help?
I guess none of you guys was every new to Aces High and you immediatly knew your ways around.
/rant off.
Sorry, couldnt help myself here.

Schatzi, we can always count on you to put an inappropriately common-sense spin on these kinds of issues. Please stop. If you continue, some of these guys might learn something.

Actually, I read the manual before I started playing so I pretty much knew my way around when I first started in AH. Did the same thing when I started AW way back when I was a wee little laddie. Maybe the new guy should RTFM?

Talked to anyone recently out of the public education system?
Have them read something to you.
Many are sharp as tacks, almost as smart as we were, but way too many get their high school diploma and can not read.
Others are kids with parents of the me first and I want it NOW generation, who don't have time for the basic learning curve because it "takes to long", and they are WORSE than their parents when it comes to putting in some time learning, and heaven forbid they might have to read something.
Just thinking out loud, here.

I find people that shoot at friendlies, at least on the ground cause a hassle because
#1 listening is part of how you fight on the ground
#2 it draws enemy attention to the area
& #3 when the enemy sees what is going on, they don't even bother with the idiot firing all over the place to watch the shell bursts; they go straight for the guy who is trying to fight knowing full well the other butt-hole isn't worth bothering with at the moment & will be nothing more than cannon fodder after the real player is dead
I haven't had the pleasure of friendlies getting on my 6 o'clock blazing away & distracting me in the air surprisingly, But I can see how it would bother someone (not having watched the video) Kill-shooter is a good thing to have on or there wouldn't be much else going on lol

My brother introduced me to the game. First time we upped, I couldn't resist the urge to see how the guns worked . . . . and he was the closest target. As I fired at him and promptly blew up, he chuckles over VOX and says " I knew you were gonna do that - forgot to mention "killshooter"":)
