Hi guys,
I dont usually post here and I dont usually complain but I have to say this.
If you are camping in a town after you have bailed while guys are trying to kill the town....PLEASE get out of there. Walk to the hillside or something
"heheh you died but at least I didnt get captured"
The killshooters do hurt and take away the fun, especially when everyone was trying to take that base.
You know who you are and believe you me.....no help will be rendered when you ever ask for it.
OK enough on the ranting.....LETS GET SOME!!!!!!!
-
ok so your whining about ejecters camping in town and you flyers getting shot up because you accidently pinged them????
how about they just hide in the rubble of broken bases or wait outside the map room until the 9th goon goes in then enter and take the base themselves :-)
-
No not accidently pinged them.....the guy camped in there for two runs and taunted guys as they tried to kill town. Accident is one thing.....camping to prevent capture is another. My two cents.

Can you really capture a town that way?
ack-ack

No you cant.
But I am a little confused about what happened in this instance. Are you saying a friendly bailed and hid in the town to prevent capture by letting himself get pinged and killshooting the attackers? Or that an enemy bailed and sat in the town while you were attacking it? And if this is the case, how does that prevent you from capturing it?
-
How bout the poor buffer that spends an hour getting to target and some guy that bailed out is standing in the hanger he just dropped on. OUCH!
-
Not that strat. The other strat.
LOL

Sling,
The guy was a friendly "hiding" in the town....we could all see him but he stayed anyway and when we were trying to destroy it he would not leave his position. Thus Killshooter was in effect and several pilots died because of that behavior. Its ok if its an accident and you just landed there but for pete's sake get the hell out of there. To save your hide and wait for the base to get captured and allowing guys to get killshot so you avoid a "capture" is poor sportsmanship and really annoying when you take the time to go and do your "mission" only to have an idiot spoil it for you.:mad:

Wow. That's a new one. Either a countrymen being a jerk or a spy from another country messing with you?

thats what i think he's saying...a friendly didnt want you to capture the enemy base (possibly for vulching) so he stood in the town and when his countrymen tried to straffe it, they hit him, in turn killshooter.
And an ARSE for a "teammate"
fuggin weetauded!!! :confused:
-
so when a side is down to 2 bases you have 2 "volunteers" change sides and parachute into the towns and defend the towns with the infamous "killshooter" to stop the reset.
what a great defense,brilliant, but it could end 'killshooter" as we know it
-
You'd have to be damn lucky to straff a chute you cant see "hiding". Or unlucky depending on which way you look at it.
Now bombs.....they'd do it alright, blast radius is bound to hit the chute, killshooter does the rest.

sounds to me like if you wanted to slow down the destrction of a city you could defect to the country of the attackers, bail out over city & whenever attackers (now countrymen) bombed, they would die due to killshooter.
I see how this could suck real fast, & is another good reason for personna non grata (no ammo, cause ya killed countrymen). Of course anyone who actually did this would be considered quite offensive & would largely be considered a person who needs a real life........

Oh geezz,
Now the spy dweeb with a high rank can move our cv while sitting in one of his "true" cities and keep us from capturing the base at the same time...

A partial fix for this one would be trivial to do. All you'd have to do is exempt a bailed pilot on the ground from the killshooter code. Since a pilot, once they've bailed, has no game purpose other than spying for their country, and there is a long tradition of shooting spies, I don't see that there's any point in leaving killshooter on for bailed pilots once they've hit the ground; if they want to hang around and play spy after they land, they accept the risk of getting killed and having their bail/capture changed to a death.
That doesn't fix the problem of someone changing sides and driving into the middle of a town and parking there to protect it, but it's a start.

aAll the more reason to get rid of Kill shooter
and just charge the the "shooter" the PP or -1 PP (what ever sortie) to kill some on on his side. I personally hate kill shooter it does have its nice parts (keeping newbies and fools from shooting you down) but maybee its my age and time spent playing AH but dont:
Dont take a shoot thats not clear !
DONT DIVE IN FRONT OF A FRIENDLY W/O voiced PERMISSION
Dont kill country mates unless its an accident or you got a love muffin like this being a spy!
were all on teams trying to work together right? then why not lets us be that way. well HTC know all to well what alot of fools will do!
i dont know where im going with this but the point i want to make is as mush as i hate it i like it too but i Hate it more than i like it! for the above said reason!
