I know how kill shots work. In fact some newb kill shot himself on me twice yesterday on purpose. I was actually trying to pull into his tracer stream the first time but was gliding and couldn't quit do it. Not to worry, he did it himself then re-upped and did it agian.
But that brings up a question. Later last night the Bish had taken a GV base. After the fight had cleared out I was still there at the base in the tower. There was a smoking friendly plane coming in to land and someone in the manned ack was firing at him. They never hit but my understanding of killshooter is that if he had the manned ack would have most likely been destroyed. Is that the case?
If so it's something that should be fixed because all an enemy would have to do is send someone to the other side and killshoot all the manned acks at a field to eliminate them. If that's not the case then nevermind.

Shooting friendlies in a manned ack doesn't destroy the gun. I do it to my squaddie all the time, how I practice my aim in the blasted things most times and of all the times I've gotten hits on him it never destroys gun, just bugs the crap outta him is all. :)
If it did kill it, think of all the dead 5" guns on CVs we'd have!

I believe it works as like on like...plane on plane...GV on GV....

get rid of the killshooter all together and go to the old AW way, kill 2 friendlies and no ammo for 24hrs just supplies or troops. Would teach alot of spray and pray guys some fire control

If we had the AW PNG system, there would be some players that would never any ammo for their fighters. In AW, after the two friendly kills to get a 24 hour PNG, each friendly kill after that added an additional 24 hours. I like the idea but HiTech has already stated he hated the AW PNG, guess he got hit with PNG a few times.

Maybe if the PNG was reduced to 30 min- few hours instead of a day? I don't think that is unreasonable, it's not like anyone that is TRYING to play right if going to killshoot themself twice. A few pings here and there in a dogfight, sure, but not a kill.

Not a bad idea IMHO.. I never played AW but that does sound like an interesting concept.. :bolt:

I think there might be larger subset of the population than you might think that would worry a LOT less about who they spray if they know they can get away with it a few times before it affects them...

No. I don't want some love muffin fragging me because he's about to log off and doesn't care if he is PNG when he's asleep at night.

i SAY MAKE FRIENDLY SHOTS DO NOTHING. IT GETS REAL irritating when im pounding away at an enemy plane, and some n00b flies in my bullet path and makes me suicide

PNG: ...
Lets see,some one you don't like is flying a 262 on your side. You think, hmm I can afford 1 death .
A buddy of yours is on a 30 kill streak, you think Hmm I wonder what he would do if I ....
You are on a 40 kill streak about to land, a newbie takes off and shoots you as you are about to touch down.

HiTech, I don't mean it like that. I mean to leave it the way it is now, and if some noob is deliberately shooting you and killing himself (not a few pings here and there, an intentional "I wanna kill you" burst) then he should get a PNG for a few minutes to a few hours.

Good point....
-
I'd leave it as it is.....if someone is shooting over my shoulder, I can either break off, or into their bullet stream. Had a couple of inadvertent killshooter kills, but that happens. If someone is purposely shooting at me from my side, help yourself, no damage to me, but bye bye you lol...

:aok If someones purposely shooting at me, heck ill help him tower out real fast, It wont hurt my plane and it gives me a good chuckle

Or ack on ack? If so you could still kill shoot most of the manned ack at an airfield.

I'de PNG you all night long! :banana: but seriously do we really need friendly fire on the runway? I do enjoy shooting squadies in the manned ack though. banana time :banana:

I don't believe it works with ack at all and I know that bomber on bomer does no damage to either party.

(Rhetorical question, of course) But what I'd really LOVE to know is why I can shoot the crud out of an enemy bomber and watch him fly home trailing smoke about half the time, but the five bullets that miss the enemy fighter I'm trying to clear off of a friendly bomber takes my elevator, oil, one of my gear and half a wing?
:D

What's the harm in a newb kill shooting himself repeatedly? And how often does this even happen? Calling this thread a moot point would be an understatement.

My theory with this,which includes puffy ack, is, a fighter can take less hits before critical damage than a big bomber does. So, a killshot of you in a fighter pinging a bomber does the equivalent damage to your fighter as if you were being shot vs. you actually hitting a bomber.

I can count on my hand how many times I have killed shot myself since I started playing. I learned the aw way. you killed a friendly no ammo for 24 hours. so u learn to shoot in short bursts and it teaches you SA. I see lots of people pulling the trigger as if they had unlimited ammo, there is no need for 2 or 3 second bursts in here. also most people think SA only applies to where the enemy is, but you should also know where your friends are. some guys jumps in front of you and you kill shoot yourself, its your problem not his.

How is having a legitimate question and asking it a "moot point"? I guess no one should ever ask for clarification of anything having to do with the game then.

Noobs have that kind of power huh? Maybe you should work a bit more on SA, or fly less in crowds.

no kill shooter on the maned ack. I always shoot at friendlies to get range.

I'd frag grizz on an average night in a 262 too
