There needs to be a discussion on passive gameplay

If passive gameplay is a reportable offense then why are you coming at me for reporting it? The point of this post is to show how that system is obviously failing to prevent that behavior. You say he’s allowed to do it, then in the same comment say that it is something I can report him for. Do you not see the clear contradiction in what you’re saying? If you’re telling me what he is doing is reportable, then he is not allowed to do it. The only thing allowing him to do it is a lack of action on these reports.

What do you mean by “Why did ticket bleed not kick in to prevent this?” are you asking why your tickets went down for him taking out your ground targets.
for the 2nd question it could of been a one off issue as I have seen the red square appear for me. if you think this a common issue you always get please put a ticket into the Bug report system
for the 3rd question I only help look after the forums.
hope this helps

The Snail giveth and taketh away. Sometimes you benefit from it as much as it costs you a game.

Ticket bleed, thankfully, was removed. We now have full length matches where player impact matters, not random A.I killing one another without interference and bleeding tickets because they crashed into the ground doing ground-strike.

Ticket-bleed now occurs solely due to player actions, as is right. Now, you’ve complained rightfully that your particular aircraft lacks appropriate groundstrike capabilities, which I believe is fine - teamwork in a team game, driving your ground-strike/multirole teammates to survive and helping them survive helps enhance immersion over random TDM in my books. I do concede most teammates foolishly full-throttle fly into middle of the map and suicide rather than try their best to play the long game and sneer at teamwork since it means less reward chances for them.

I am saying you can report him “which you have done” for being passive but what I disagree with you with is saying he owns you a fair fight or that he can’t CAS or do bombing of ground targets

you’re more than welcome to your opinion but that doesn’t make it Law so please don’t try putting words in my mouth.

That’s like saying enemies in GRB are being passive because they don’t want to push you after they secured all the caps. If your team is losing, it’s your job to create something and start fights.

PvP game, but trying to survive and/or win is passive?

Yes victory criteria is bad, though usually bad for attackers and bombers, for they are required to face sooo many hungry fighters at the middle of the map to do what they should do

While bombers can’t even get ticket changes from bases.

Yes I’m referring to prop br. Nothing to do with f4/mig23 bombing.

That is when you go for ground targets.

15min is a lot of time and 2 people should be able to get the 22 ground kills need to win.

You are allowed to rearm.

They had won on points and you or your team would have to either kill the last player, which he actively prevented by evading you or YOU would have to actively kill ground, which you didn’t. You killed 8 players but you failed to kill the one right one, while you had the option.

I watched the replay.

He was in a Mystere IVA (8.7)
He did 3 full runs over ground target line to kill 23 ground targets (+ 1 bot). Nobody attacked him seriously. First mistake of your team. Both of you had the chance to kill him early game but decided for other targets. Second mistake.
As he left the battlefield it was 4vs5 for him. min12:00
None of your team tried to equal tickets.
Both of you rtb, so running out of fuel after 13 minutes was your decision.
Now he flew to af into mapborder and returned, 1vs2.
Time you made your last kill: min16:00. So you searched him 9 minutes.
A Lim5 and a Mig17 are able to make 2k tickets in this time. But no one did nor tried seriously.
You searched for him and your mate farmed bots.
min23:00 you found him, so you had your chance to kill him but missed.

Sure he played passive, but he did his work to win on tickets. Mystere vs 2 Mig17? Even I would avoid this. And he had no pressure. It was on you.

How different the same reality can be described!

This game is not fair for almost anybody.

The system is asymmetric on top of this.

Planes like the S2B have 0 gun and physically impossible to kill enemy who has flares for example.
