code99xx Players 26 posts 200 battles Report post #5 Posted July 9, 2015 Ban people for 1 hour if they do more than 20K team damage over 2 hours of gametime. As a warning. Yeah, i think they should do something similar. After repeated offences that player should get banned for a short bit. I should start with only 10-20 minutes at first and the ban time will go up if he keeps killing friendly players. I think that would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesnt mean the game should let them do it. They fire torpedoes recklessly whitout thinking about team mates=you get banned for a while for team damage.

Realtbhuion Beta Tester 152 posts 2,121 battles Report post #9 Posted July 9, 2015 tk's happen. just be glad it's generally accidental. when it comes to torps, though, it's almost as much our responsibility to watch out for them, as it is 'theirs' to watch out for you. torp indicators 'do' show up for friendly torps too, afterall.

Admiral_Wolf Players 10 posts 272 battles Report post #10 Posted July 9, 2015 I never seen someone testing torpedos in the spawn area. If you want to be safe, stay behind the torpedo ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They fire torpedoes recklessly whitout thinking about team mates=you get banned for a while for team damage. They do it usually once or twice until They kill someone, then they realize it and stop. Problem is that It's not 1000 people doing it ten times, It's 10,000 people doing it one time.(per person) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realtbhuion Beta Tester 152 posts 2,121 battles Report post #15 Posted July 9, 2015 if a BB can dodge a torp bomber squadron's torps dropped @ 1k or so, then yes, a bb can dodge torps from 2k. obviously this is variable, but it 'should' be possible, situation (terrain) dependent. that's not to say that they shouldn't be paying more attention, they should. launching torps from 'behind' bb's is dumb. but it should be at least vaguely possible to dodge them, if you react fast enough and turn in the right direction.

It can't mostly. And that is when fully aware of the danger. Nobody expects friendly ship to just torp them, so even long range friendly torps may hit.

[ST-EU] OldGrandad Supertester 3,404 posts 35,711 battles Report post #20 Posted July 9, 2015 I just t/k'ed an ally in the last battle with a torp, he sailed past me going for the same BB, I waited until he had passed and fired my salvo, 2 struck the BB and one sailed by. I thought nothing of it until my ally did a 180 and went to the other side of the BB to fire himself unfortunately he caught my lobe torpedo and sunk. Do you know what happened next? He apologised as he knew he put himself in peril by doing so and along with my apologies we had a laugh about it. These things happen, most by accident and a few through naivety, accept these things do happen but there are those that have issues and go out to do team damage, they are the ones we need to look out for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing a player should have to worry about is incoming enemy fire. If you fire your weapon and strike a friendly its your fault, and no-one else's. You have lax weapon control, and are a danger to yourself and others around you. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you fire your weapon and strike a friendly its your fault, and no-one else's. You have lax weapon control, and are a danger to yourself and others around you. Absolute rubbish. If a ship is sailing in one direction and another ship has a clear shot at the target and takes it, and the first ship then changes direction and sails in to the second ships shots, then it is that ships fault. People get fixated in zoom mode and don't look where they are going. God forbid they ever up the damaging of ramming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Stupid civilians walked in to my artillery zone sir, its not my fault I killed them!". Yeah no, just does not fly. That is why there is such a thing as "rules of engagement". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
