Etiquette for vehicle using

[imported_Peter]

Hello again!

I would like to find out is there some etiquette for using of vehicles (tanks, apc, helicopters, planes).
Mostly because of those <<censored>> who thinks that some vehicle belongs to them and they TK to get it and shoting around or swinging knife to force others step back. In fact it upsets me so much that I start to think that killing those <<censored>> on sight is best course of action. But, who knows... maybe I am wrong, so I would like to know communities oppinion.

!!!IMPORTANT!!! If this problem raises your blood pressure and you want to curse, then go drink ice tee, count to ten and write your opinion at least FOLLOWING RULES OF FORMAL POLITENESS and preferably in clearly structurised way.

I try to avoid servers that tend to have a lot of vehicle hogs. Short of a TK fest, I'm not sure what else you can do...

What are yoi talking about? There is no etiwete for that... just try not to be an ass you eventually you will get the vehicle you want "free". The other day I was playing on a server that stated "Wait for vehicles in line" Once a plane crashed I wanted to take it over, but the guy kept pushing the button "no sir" than I let him fly and he was realy grearful (I think it was about revenge) and in the next round he thankd me againd and let me fly :P but sometimes just TK if someone keeps stealing the wehicle from your nose...

Whats the IP of that server?? I want to bomb a "line" of waiting soldiers!!

Honestly though, just be patient. There are lots of things to be done in the meantime.

No, just try to be first to the vehicle and if they TK you when you take "their" vehicle, well then they are just a-holes

Btw, you can always find a 64 player server with few people playing. Then there are more vehicles available for everyone

Re: Etiquette for vehicle using

here is the etiquette for RANKED servers. if you dont know how to properly use a vehicle, let someone that does know how to use it have it. or else the whole team will suffer.

armor=combat support, stay behind assaulting friendlies or attack but stay away from cps or you will get flanked. also, BE A FREAKING ENGINEER IF YOU ARE USING ARMOR.

attack heli=communication is key, pilots should be spouting orders constantly, gunner should shoot tv at armor/helis first and then cannon while they wait for a recharge. dont try to fly if you
a) cant smooth it out or stay in the air at all.
b) have no situational awareness

planes (especially the f35)=here is the one vehicle that if noobs keep getting it, you are sure to lose, especially for the carrier based usmc. what you might not realise is that the sky must be clea before bombing anything, or they will take you out. this is one thing that gets my goat about noob pilots. or whats worse, is when they use it for transport by bailing over a cp (when not engaged).

basically what i am saying is most of these people are asshats that just want points and such. i dont tk but theres lots of times id like to be able to tell the team whats going on, but they dont listen. like when my team gets stuck on the carrier for instance. random people pile into blackhawks and fly straight for a cp, this is how we die because:

a) nobody bails out till its too late most often (people simply get greedy) a jet can take out a helicopter in seconds

b)the pilot should fly either really low or really high, most of the times pilots fly right where jets look the most.

Too bad they don't just have a timer after your vehicle dies that you can't use that same vehicle (thus allowing someone else to use it).

Example:
I use a tank for 5 minutes...die. I can't use a tank for 1 minute thereafter, thus allowing one of the 8 people waiting at the tank spawn a chance to use it.

This is an online game, there is no such thing as etiquette.

Re: Etiquette for vehicle using

Wait in line....and your turn will come....if someone jumps ahead of you...it's because he was on the reserve list...

You need your head examined.

I agree with everything you said except for the portion I quoted. Funk that! If I am there 1st I will take the vehicle. Just because someone is better at it than me does not give them exclusive rights that vehicle. If a person just plain sucks at a vehicle then the better person willnot have to wait long for it to respawn.

I just wait until the coaster is flashing, and I always yield to the hosts whose server I am playing on.
