Srly… remove that. Has nothing to do with skill. Friendly units driving into artillery strike, gettink killed… THEIR fault… not mine.
Since I started playing again 2 month ago:
artillery kills on friends: 2
on enemies: 0
Never aimed on a spot where my teammates were… sooooo… yeah…

I once died twice in match to friendly artillery (did well that game as well, around 6 kills for 2 deaths).
They should remove friendly fire artillery from arcade at least, I only tk once that way (on accident) but died like 15 times to my own teams arty.
Err…you do see the evident problem right? You can’t kill a friendly if you don’t aim CLOSE to him…(not necessarily on top of him).
As IRL, calling artillery has to be done with care in order to avoid friendly fire…it is part of the fun/strategy actually…you can’t just call it at will…
And goes both ways…you can try to avoid your own side artillery…like the saying goes…
“Freindly fire ain’t”

You would be right if there weren’t teammates who simply ignore these stupid orange smoke grenades and drive into a teammate’s artillery strike, getting damaged, if not destroyed.

if people die to my arty, i just tell them (calmly) that orange smoke isn’t their friend and they shouldn’t drive into it.
I never drop arty near allies, so they have actively driven into the danger zone.

It is “war” out there so people die to lots of stuff including artillery…it is as it is supposed to be.
Friendly artillery will hit friendly targets and it is up to them (and the one asking for artillery) to manage it…and sometimes mistakes happen.
Making artillery not damage friendlies would create a lot of problems…when i drop it i try to avoid friendlies and when it is dropped close to me i have to stop or even retreat while it drops…fun, realistic and makes sense…all of it IMHO.
