A lot if you know this issue.
You join a air SIM for a battle, then people tell you tell it`s a “PVE” server, you ignore that as there is no such mode in the game, you kill someone and they go full «special needs» mode.
Can these kinda players get their own gamemode so one actually play the game and have fun fighting?
Can`t see the enemyteam chat from the Ebola guy for some reason, he told other player to massreport me for things as killing in “pvp” wanting me kicked and to report my name for “hate speech”
These kinda players mess up SIM and are only interessted in exploiting SIM for easy RP and SL
If sim was rewarding when doing pvp, players would be less pve.
I have zero issue with pve, I do have an issue with it if it’s enforced, and players are reporting others for doing pvp. That’s against game rules, and it’s just bad.
I normally don’t mind, but had someone get really aggressive and demanding people report those who were engaged in PvP. Suffice to say, they got reported and they weren’t exactly subtle in chat so probably will get banned
(This was a 14.0 lobby as well, suffice to say no one was PvEing)
Yesterday I had a very funny “pve only” demand on tunisia:
“People with sticks please let me pve.”
I don’t get it - you don’t need a stick to do about average in dogfights. Don’t need VR or trackIR either.
I may have decided to press the guy “I fly with MKB. am I allowed to kill you then?”
As an aside…
Pve/Airfield bombing is a threat to me and my team even outside of ticket bleed.
That same Tunisia match, a harrier and I were taking off and ended up exploding from our runway getting carpet bombed.
And of course there’s ticket bleed. Each base/ground unit lost means enemy team is more likely to win.
go in someone else’s game
get asked not to be detriment to other players
be detriment to other players
other players get annoyed with you
how are you the victim in this situation
Never play SB in your life.
Don’t have any special interest in playing SB.
See that SB is 2.3x event multiplier rather than 1.4x
See that you can make custom lobbies and fix matches in SB.
Go and fly jets with SAS/Auto-level/Autottrim/bomb computers to get score rapidly without any opposition.
Ruin people’s enjoyment who fly SB for sake of flying SB by getting gaijin to nerf the rewards even more.
Wonder why people hate you (you is not you but general you).
The last round of SB reward nerfs from 3.0 to 2.3 was thanks to tourists. It doesn’t seem to hurt missile jets as much (I find I can get score way faster in the F3H-2 over the F4U-4, A6M3 or P-51), but it absolutely hard-punished pure air superiority prop aircraft. 1 kill is 450 points. With multipliers for event score, that’s 450x0.9x2.3 = 930. You need to get 40 kills in a plane that travels around 450 km/h cruising speed with your targets also travelling at 450 km/h and having to cross at least 32 kilometres for both to meet in the middle. Usually best I see for a 90 minute game tend to be 10-12 kills, more often just 8. You need over 40 to qualify. Some luck with objectives can cut this down, but again - travel time is a thing.
This is a PVP game, not a PVE game for easy and free RP and SL.
If people cry over someone playing the game a it’s meant to be played, its not my issue is it?
Thank God I haven’t come across anything like that yet. So far, with a few exceptions, I’ve had quite positive contacts in PVP with respectable behaviour.
The few exceptions were a TK without at least checking via T-4-1 whether it could be an ally. And the usual kill deniers who ram themselves into the ground with the words ‘Not today’.
I had no idea this was an actual problem, but I would love a PvE mode for all game modes, I think it would be a lot of fun and what this game is missing.
Flying aircraft in a pvp environment to accomplish objectives and retaliating against your opponents is an intended way to fly in air sim EC.
I particularly enjoy flying escort to bombers if they communicate and play along with the LARP. They fight back tooth and nail, they try to accomplish their mission and get back home safely.
What I don’t enjoy are people who join ASB to ignore the greater context, drop bombs and suicide to rapidly accumulate score faster than legitimate means permit outside of rare occurances.
Grabbing my almost copy-pasta:
A bomber who actually:
Communicates (Hear "Attention to grid square? Check map, if it’s near you press T-4-1)(Hear, “Follow me!” respond with “Follow me!” immediately)(Get shot down, do T-4-2 before bailing out to indicate where you died)
Does NOT j-out/intentionally crash at sight of hostiles to deny kill (J-ing out because you’re in an irrecoverable spin because you got spooked is fine)
Does NOT J-out/intentionally crash after dropping bombs to double your sorties/hour.
Fights back with tail gunners or whatever jet bombers have or tries to evade and RTB or fly towards back-up
Is a bomber I love and want to see more of.
Extra points if you fly a prop bomber and communicate even more to let me fly escort formations! Most fun I had was escorting B26s across the English channel to bomb the hell out of northern france and trying to keep the luftwaffe from preventing that.
Case in point, “People with sticks let me pve” fails to pass muster.
