Killshooter Toggle in Arena Setup for Offline/Custom
« on: January 14, 2015, 05:28:43 PM »

Can someone remind me where -- under what menu(s) -- to find the on/off setting for Killshooter when setting up offline/custom arenas?

I briefly looked through the settings but couldn't seem to locate that one.

Thanks!

"Killshooter" determines whether or not you can do damage to a friendly (same country).

With Killshooter "on", as it is hard-coded into the Main Arenas, shooting a friendly does not damage the other plane and instead inflicts the damage to your own plane/vehicle -- hence, it kills the shooter.

With Killshooter "off", if you shoot a friendly they actually take the damage (so you can have friendly-fire incidents).  This is usually the setting in certain historical and squad events (like FSO). 

It can be turned on/off by you only in custom arenas or offline.

  With killshooter on, you can't die from friendly fire.  Someone firing on a teammate will only kill themselves.  In a custom arena, you turn killshooter off, and you play tag.  It's a good fun way to practice basic dogfighting.
