i dont know if this shoulda been posted in the "wishlist" area, but theres been a large amount of disputes as to wether the killshooter should be on or off.

hope I expalin this correctly

Some people wish the bullets would kill the friendly who crosses there line of fire, instead the rounds cause the person firing to take all the damage.

So the problem is some people would go around shootin there own guys down for fun, rite? On the other hand sometimes the guy firing is innocent, and someone else just carelessly jumped infront of the line of fire.

So instead of punishing either of them for more than likely making a careless mistake what if the bullets just had no effect on either of the two country members?

I dont know why this thought just now crossed my mind.

killshooter off pros and cons:

pros:

you dont get penalised for noobs jumping infront of you.

cons:

idiots shoot own team.

grudge matches occur between friendlies

careless pilots will kill you instead of themselves.

killshooter on pros cons:

pros:

its funny when someone shooting over your shoulder kills themself.

cons:

noobs diving infront of you hurt you if you are not attentive with your gunnery and SA.

not much in it, but in reality killshooter must stay on.

I liked the AW solution, where if you shot down 3 friendlies or whatever in 24hrs you no longer got live rounds but had to fly for 24hrs shooting blanks. Maybe something along those lines (as one who's on several occaisons had someone cut in front of him, RIGHT as I was pulling the trigger, I'd like to see something done with that).

ty for response, i understand pros an cons, but dont you think it would be better to just have bullets not have any effect on either allie pilots?

IIRC this is an incentive for not shooting at friendlies... which is bad, bad bad! (shooting the friendlies, not KS)

I understand saintaw, but not everyone intentionally shoots at freindlies. But because there is no actual fear of dieng in this game a person does not feel the need to look were bullets are coming from before entering the line of fire.

I wish we had the AW sollution! Was much better IMHO. But thats just my .02 cents!

killshooter is the worst 'feature' of the game. it wont change though so dont hold your breath. i even had one dweeb that cut in front of me laugh about it on vox in the tower.

Killshooter is fun! Nothing better on a boring mission then starting to fight your wingman, thinking one small burst cant hurt with my gunnery skills..... only to realise your aim has improved *considerably* over night and you just pilot wounded yourself with a hals second burst out of one bank of 303s......

SYSTEM: Schatzi just killshot herself out of pure boredom....

Jeez! If they had that on AH and it happened to me, I'd cancel my subscription! Paying money to fly around firing blanks? Duh, no.
I'd go with the "no effect if you shoot a friendly" solution. We have it with friendly collisions, so why not with friendly bullets?

It's pretty simple really.

When you see a friendly plane in your gunsight, don't shoot.

Yeah, yeah I know.

It takes self control and good reflexes but I'm sure you can do it.

Leave killshooter as it is.

Bah, bunch of arcade weenies!

Guns damage what they shoot. They don't care about affiliation. Any other way of making it work in the game is a magic trick that detracts from reality.

I like being able to damage friendlies. I like taking ammo away from those careless enough to do so repeatedly. These things seem real to me, and reality helps me immerse.
