THe new Artillery Lemmings - Air Support Lemmings

[imported_indigo_prime]

Playing on Kubra Dam today and eventually got kicked for TKs even though as air support I was hammering the enemy armour.

People were calling for support and as I closed on the bomb run, hit the trigger to release and then I see 2 or 3 guys (all of the same clan) running to try and C4 the armour.

By then its too late, the bombs are away and theres nothing I can do about it.....BOOM, kill the armour, sometimes getting 5 or 6 at the same time as they were using as many armour vehicles as they could to cap flags, then came the TKs and the punishes.

It wouldnt annoy me as much, but they called for support, they could see me bomb running on other targets and yet instead of holding back a few more seconds they all try to C4 kill!!! Even though I was apologising in the team chat, it happened again and again. Call for support and then they would run in on the targets. I thought they might be doing it on purpose to bring my score down. Im not the best pilot by far and this is one of the times I was actually making a difference before these lemmings started their little game!

Don't ever bomb a base with your own teammates in it. Not unless you know for a fact you can hit the intended target without pwning your own team.

Did it happen today mate becouse if it did its the weekend symdrome i dunno what it is but all the abusive little turds come out full force at weekends . During the week its great someone rams your heli from the other team they apolagise everyones realy friendly during the week. But come the weekend it turns into hell on the servers people tking all the time for vehicals suiciders you name anything bad and youll see it on the weekends. Ill give you a perfect example ive not had any bother with a single person the hole week i jump on dragoon valley spawn at the main base get in the tank that spawns there . I drive out of the warehouse thing and someone smacks into the side of me i say im sorry but they decide to tk me . They then got it into there head to tk me every single time they see me plus he was also trying to kick me. I then asked him whats the problem ive not been near you ive not tkd you why do you keep trying to kick me and his reply was " I now you didnt do anything but i know its gonna **** you of becouse your a **** muncher " . Thats just one of the example of today ive also been called an american **** by some mad french guy because i was trying to help him out when i was commander and tell him exacterly were the enemy was. Im not american im on a uk server with a very small ping (so i cant be in the usa). Well to conclude anyway do what im doing try not to play at weekends all the nutters come out weekends im sure they get released from mental insitutions for weekend release.

p.s. can someone do me a big favour ive no idea how to vote kick can you please pm on how to do this i know it dosnt work but it might stop nutters from trying to kick me if i know how to kick them.

I can agree with that^^

What a bunch of assholes at the server i was at today. If someone got into a jet before them, and there were 5 other people standing around, one guy would just c4 us all.

Re: THe new Artillery Lemmings - Air Support Lemmings

I was called a "hacking jew" on Songhua yesterday because I had a 30:4 k/d ratio (and a spawn killer yesterday and today because I was attacking a base and not letting the enemy kill me while I capped the flag, not to mention all of them had already spawned).

I'm starting to miss the tkers before stat tracking, because punishers never get kicked. I never noticed what you said about weekends though. Still, those guys are idiots none the less.

Weekends = school kids.

Their mommy's and daddy's wont let them play during school nights.

Re: THe new Artillery Lemmings - Air Support Lemmings

I agree with the weekend theory. It does seem to attract a certain class of idiot.

However I have no sympathy for the post originator. The amount of times I have been blown to pieces by an over zealous pilot as I am about to cap a flag or C4 some armour. I'll give you a clue I am the blue dot in your target area (you can find a mini map in the top right hand corner of your screen). There are plenty of good pilots out there who don't TK their team mates. Those that do deserve a punish no matter what the circumstances.

Also when a player calls for support it does not specify what kind of support they want but I bet they don't don't want several hundred pounds of HE raining down on them.

Re: THe new Artillery Lemmings - Air Support Lemmings

lay off the pilots.

The mini-map is too small, and the jets too fast... to get any idea of who is where in a flag area.

Anyone that has flown at ALL should know that. The 3dmap should be unlimited view distance when in a jet... IMHO.

Re: THe new Artillery Lemmings - Air Support Lemmings

Let's not confuse spotting for calling in an airstrike because that's what it sounds like.

You need to spot targets [all of them] for 2 good reasons. It lets you track them as you lose sight of them and it lets everyone else know there is a problem, especially if they are trying to take a flag and you're the only one around.

If I'm in a tank and I hear/ see 'enemy APC spotted' and it's 10 seconds away, I'm gonna turn around, go find it and beat it with my ugly stick.

Now the smacktards that run into a clearly labeled arty strike, that's something to gripe about.

I had a play in a jet the other day to see what it was like. The mini map was plenty big enough to see who was in the target area. I think some pilots (not all) get carried away with getting kills with every bomb they drop and ignore the map in the heat of battle. The same way I sometimes wonder into a friendly arty strike cos I get so fixed on a goal.

As it happens I missed completely and blew up two team mates half a mile away. They didn't punish funnily enough all though I fully deserved to be.

Re: THe new Artillery Lemmings - Air Support Lemmings

lay off pilots? invulnerability in exchange for bothering to check before you drop bombs sounds like more than a fair deal to me.

I was called a "hacking jew" on Songhua yesterday

hacking jew? oh my thats funny.

Re: THe new Artillery Lemmings - Air Support Lemmings

It was today and I've certainly noticed that the idiots come out at weekends. Ive been kicked twice more today, once for 'being a kamikaze', I was shooting at a chopper in a jet, pulled up too late and clipped it BOOM!! Kicked straight out of the game. Second kick was for getting into a tank at the start and some pre pubescent kid with admin rights told me to 'get the f**k outta my tank or I'll kick you'.

I've had some time off the last few days and I must say that playing suring the daytime, mid week you certainly get a lot better teamplay and all round better games than when the kids (read smacktards) are on their weekend off school. I hate to think what its going to be like when they get half term holidays!!

Gotta agree with this, the dickhead factor always increases from Friday onwards.

I agree with this also, should be unlimited view when in a jet aircraft.

Re: THe new Artillery Lemmings - Air Support Lemmings

There is a way to zoom out of the minimap (I believe it's F2) but if it is then sometime it switches you to the 2nd seat if the plane has one.

'N' key.

but dont bother, i have since seen the light and agree w/ others. you should cut the jet pilots some slack. they are too busy getting 50:1 ratios to look where they are dropping their bombs. its up to you to get out of their way. after all, they are more important than you.
