Rewards for Crashed Aircraft!

@ron_23

why wouldnt you let one bot shoot down the other,

asking for too much now

[Morvran]

@Stona_WT

This mechanic is also not enabled in Air Simulator Battles

This is really stupid btw

[ThiccoIai]

Because thats a lot more complex and ammo is limited, they would probably choose aircraft with the most fuel range

[AlvisWisla]

@Stona_WT

Because there will be circumstances where someone who didn’t do anything will be credited with a destruction and reward, simply because they were in close proximity, so sometimes you might get lucky with some free points.

This is how I feel whenever someone crashes near me.
I did nothing, & deserve nothing.

Too easily exploited in constant respawn modes.
Good that this issue remains solved for sim.

@exeisdefeatable

Very good mechanics but why not enable it in ASB as well?

Ten-thousands of players got a friend or alt account on, parked near an enemy airfield, & ejected near their plane over & over again back when the feature was allowed in sim.
It cannot return.

@sυρεrβυsτεr

Why? Once again, Air Sim is being neglected.

That’s not what neglected means.
Sim players already know this feature could never be added to air sim due to exploiters.

[ThiccoIai]

This realistically could be fixed by adding a limit to the number of times you could receive rewards for it in a single battle but idk if people would like that

[Morvran]

Or just capping the rewards somehow, maybe like activity time and then it accumulates over time at a set rate rather than just paying out a reward “per kill”… wait hang on a second…

This means if your missile is after an enemy and closing in and they bail out or crash on purpose, and there is no player within the radius, you’ll also get a destruction credit and a reward as well.

Why not simply check if the player is being tracked by a missile? We already have the missile evasion system so why not further expand on it?

[Morvran]

this is how Id do it too. Rather than having a “missile radius” just operate based upon the closest tracking missile. (probably would need to be within a set distance than just any tracking missile though, but could still be like 5km)

[AlvisWisla]

Once per person per match, so it only counts for one spawn of the user…
That’d work.
Of course, you still end up that every spawn after they’re immune, but a reset timer of like 15 - 30 minutes…
30 minutes is the standard used for boosters, so it’s more familiar.
But 15 is also the standard for reward intervals in sim.

[Morvran]

A cooldown would be all that is required ontop of the current capped and kinda poor rewards in ASB, but it definetly needs to be added to ASB because maneuver kills are a lot more common with the harder controls and I do also find people bail out quite often too.

I think the cooldown only really needs to be 5 minutes to prevent any meaningful exploitation

Everyone is happy today

[TheKnightOfZero]

Guys this isn’t the topic of who plays sim and who doesn’t and it’s also not the topic about bot’s
please stay on topic off topic comments will be removed and timeout given if carried on.

[ron_23]

why would they exploit that if there are easier ways

why spend time and money for something that you could do without spending said time and money
why do it in the most complicated way possible if there are easier ways that were abused for years atp

and even then i have a solution
gaijin can just add the missile part to air sim

@Stona_WT

You may be thinking, what happens if you fire a missile from a far distance while your aircraft is nowhere near the enemy? Let’s say your missile is tracking them and closing in, but the enemy crashes before the missile can reach them. The missile you fired will also have its own proximity of 3 km, however the system will search for a player within a 3 km radius first, and if there is no player, then the missile radius is used. This means if your missile is after an enemy and closing in and they bail out or crash on purpose, and there is no player within the radius, you’ll also get a destruction credit and a reward as well.

Heil snail! Heil bulannikov!

[ron_23]

everyone but air sim players

@Stona_WT

This mechanic is also not enabled in Air Simulator Battles

[Leinadmix9_ツ]

Then dont die to the ground, easy

[Kallu609]

So this doesn’t apply to ground vehicles but will a recon drone count?

Incentivizing furballs even more.

you can talk about it but talking about bots is not allowed
