The likelihood of the missle going dumb like that is pretty low, and even if you are thinking about these points, now matter how good you are, you will not think about them 24/7 when playing.
If you try to prevent that, there is still a chance for that to happen. So you basically just handicap yourself without reducing the risk by a lot.
Also, since I also play top tier air arcade jets a lot, I have noticed that the missle tracking a friendly just does not happen in air arcade, nor have I ever seen this happening to anyone else I play with.
My guess is, that this „bug“ is actually a feature/game mechanic for air realistic. Or at least it’s caused by being able to Teamkill in realistic.
And if it’s a game mechanic implemented on purpose, it really is a shame that there is a chance to get banned for that
I mostly agree with you here minus the little tidbit about bugs. How is a player supposed to compensate for something that typically shows absolutely no signs of occurring until it actually occurs? I’ve seen it happen myself, Sparrows and even AMRAAMs at times will completely disregard the locked target for seemingly no reason.
I fully understand that Teamkilling is prohibited, and rightfully so, but I certainly hope incidents that are caused by bugs outside of player control are not being held against anyone.
Oh so you’re keeping track of my grammar mistakes? Congrats, you just earned a double kill on punctuation errors. Keep going, maybe you’ll unlock a tactical nuke of missed commas. GG grammar police lame ahh boi
You will see at 09:43 play time a friendly F4U firing at me without any provocation - he started his attempt at 9:17. He managed to spray all of his remaining ammo on me - scoring a crit and a few hits. Finally he rammed me (a very slight contact, hard to see in the replay) and crashed on purpose - leading me to be blamed as team killer.
This has to stop - i am tired of low life tanker trash like in this example - his action resulted in getting me charged with 26.793 SL.
Those guys need an instant perma ban; i mean the fact that he tried to kill me by ramming (after he sprayed 619 shots of 0.50 cal ammo on me) is evidence enough that he was fully aware of this faulty game mechanic.
It makes zero sense to check permanent your six when the sole remaining enemy is 3 km in front of you - just pathetic.
Ofc i used chat to inform him about getting reported for griefing and a failed attempt for an intentional team kill - he responded “you t’killed me bro, enjoy the ban”.
This just about sums up the game, it is broken almost beyond fixing and needs tearing down and starting again.
Making the victim go through hoops just to get the correct outcome is reprehensible in the least, not sure if you did get banned because of the nebulous/secret figure that triggers the punishment, whilst the perpetrator gets to play days or months with no consequences to his rule breaking actions is once again a failure by the company.
I expect for you to get any outcome from this event involves hours of e-mailing, sending replays and awaiting replies for more information as the process is stalled, possibly hoping for you to give up and not bother, a standard practice for many complaint procedures in many companies. Make it as difficult, slow and time consuming as possible so nobody bothers.
Coupled to his people wonder why players do not care, play stupidly and often detrimentally to their teams success and one death leave, what is the point whilst this goes on and many other flaws and problems that are rife and endemic in the game.
I hope you did not get any sort of ban, as I expect this is something you never do and this was an anomaly perpetrated by a complete skeleton warrior.
I was never banned for team killing because i assess this as detrimental for the game. I do admit that i would have killed him if i would have been aware of his attempt way earlier, but my plane was literally scrap after his attack, so no way to retaliate.
I am very confident that i won’t face a temp ban as i reported this behaviour via the server replay site, the evidence speaks for itself.
THe safest thing to do if attacked by a team mate is crash into the ground. That way, they get the TK against them and you don’t risk the collision triggering a TK for you. (I know, this shouldn’t be necessary)
I apparently must have killed another flyer while dropping a bomb in GRB which is odd because you can’t kill a friendly tank in GRB. I don’t know why they have one physics for ground vehicles and another for planes. I dont know why they even have the friendly fire thing in GRB/ARB. It does nothing but cause upset in the game.It’s an unrealistic game and friendly fire does nothing to make it any more fun.
