Time for a good old fasion rant

[rombaft]

has been some time that I put some complaints here, but here they are.

Because I finaly manage to fly a jet and kill with it, I fly a lot lately, but you just can't take off with a jet without TK some moron walking under/in front of it just because he wanted the jet.


then the dam bomb indicator makes a lot of mistakes and offcourse this will get you TK's

both these stupid teamkills wich I can't do anything about it have kicked me from many servers, this realy sucks.

Lame yes, I hate this too.

Re: Time for a good old fasion rant

On your first problem there is no solution except playing on a good server.

I used do have the same problem with the bombing indicator when I first started to fly. The trick is to always look on your radar before bombing so you don't kill any teammates

You want to know the funny thing? That's actually in the .con file of the lasertarget_vehicle object. EA/DICE has MADE this happen, and all they would have to do is change ONE number to fix this problem. It has to deal with a delay in the vehicle's target object that the HUDs/missiles lock onto. If someone gets out, it waits 5 seconds to disable the target to targetting systems. The funny thing is, it shows up enemy in these 5 seconds, regardless of who was in it. TK magnet... easily fixed... but EA/DICE doesn't care. =/

Re: Time for a good old fasion rant

I'm sick of the infinite number of morons online. Lately it's been lame commanders who won't drop supplies, who fly or get in a tank instead of hiding somewhere and doing their job.

And the teamkillers who just want your vehicle, usually a chopper or jet, will never end. THey are the scum of the earth and I wish them eternal damnation.

Here's where to play where none of that tk for a jet or lay in front of a jet is tolerated. Also you may find people actually share them as well. Hard to believe but true. If you accidently tk someone then apologise you will find you won't get tk punished either.

We have tk's set to 5 and if you get banned, simply ask to be unbanned at www.r2clan.com

You're way too generous. All good rants have to be ridiculous.

5.8

Points lost for lack of CAPSLOCK, racial slurs, using the word "nub", and cursing. You also used line breaks and punctuation - bad form for rants, as they should be one long paragraph with no breaks.

I find this very hard to beleive. Their are jerks on almost every server that I go into. Its nearly impossible to keep the jerks out. You will still have the guy who runs for the jet, doesn't get it but proceeds to try and jump on it or fall off of it making it look like your fault. Freaking assholes everywhere!

Re: Time for a good old fasion rant

You know, not exactly being new, but certainly well short of being a veteran I have been team killed and it wasn't my fault. I'm not the type to fight over a jet, actually I enjoy helo's. I especially enjoy the Blackhawk as not many like to fly it. I have been killed many times by people not being aware of their surroundings. If you are the first one to the chopper, don't hit your tail rotor so ward. You will swing around and decapitate anyone standing nearby. I have bneen run over by jets taking off, totally my fault though so I wouldn't think of punishing for that.

What gets me, I mean what truly gets me is flying the blackhawk someone jumps in the back and you wind up crashing. I must admit I fly at the very edge so I survive from p[lanes but that means I do, on occasion, fly into a smokestack, bridge or building. It never fails that someone in the chopper has to be a rubberhole and punish for a crash. Please, it was not my intention to crash you are just punishing becasue your mom made you eat all your peas and I'm tired of it.

One other issue, I did punish a few when I was new. Could they make the punishing option more difficult? It should be page up to punish page down to forgive. Not Do you wish to forgive the guy that just shot a grenade in your face? I'm thinking ummm... no.

ObjectTemplate.disableWhenWreck 1

I knew this for a long time, even made a video back in August for people on this board to show them exactly why it happens and what is happening: HERE

This is where LOOKING AT THE MINIMAP comes in handy. If you are going to drop bombs, don't you want to check to see if you have guys on foot over there, you know, the little people that don't show up on the bombing hud that are running all over the place. Easy solution, LOOK AT THE MINIMAP. It's not a bug, it's set that way and is easily remedied by using common sense.

If you don't look at your minimap before you make a bombing run, your going to get more tk's than you should, regardless of whether a vehicle is showing up as friendly or not.

lol well when you find one let me know every server has some jerk that makes it suck

Re: Time for a good old fasion rant

Do your planes sometimes only drop one bomb and not the rest? Sometimes i have to double click just to drop all the bombs.

[MidnightOps]

Re: Time for a good old fasion rant

I would say I've been on a server with about 2 people who don't punish for accidental team killing.

What's even more pathetic is that when there are like 3 or 4 people standing waiting for the jet, I usually get it and they try to blow me up and put objects in front of my plane to kill me. I think it's very pathetic and the server admins never catch them for trying to kill you.

I remember one game this guy was so desperate he planted mines all around a friendly plane before it took off and blew it up.

I mean seriously these guys know better! They're just idiots.
