Artillery

[Tenshi]

Does anyone else think that dieing by artillery shouldnt count as a death. I dont think it counts as a kill and i cant see any really logical reason why it should count as a death either.

The fact that you die... ..and have to respawn...then regroup etc etc is the real tactical power of the artillery - thats what its for...so i dont see why we should get a death point for dying by it, especially since its so hard to avoid.

Its like saying that you are definately going to get x deaths at least for every round. If youre in the heat of the battle, youll probably get artilleried...if you wonder off somewhere, youll get artilleried.

Agreed, especially since the Commander doesn't get credit for the kills.

Re: Artillery

he gets "points" ... just not kills.

I think the arty should be REMOVED completely.

Re: Artillery

I don't think it should count as a death for u (as it ruins k:d ratio) but it should take away from the ticket count. As that's what good commanders do, it helps the team, not the commandr themselves, and it helps them win. So you can still have a nice k:d ratio, but arty still contributes to helping ur team win.

No I do not totally agree.
I think the arty of the opponent should be REMOVED completely.

Re: Artillery

Why should it be removed? Cause you K/D ratio looks beter otherwise?

I have been killed zillion of times due to arty, but I also kill zillion of people with it :p

Learn to live with it, or go play other game without arty ...

Re: Artillery

My arguement isnt one for better scores - its for logic.

What does a death from artillery signify? - not much.

So why get a death for it?

It wouldnt make a difference to the scores - since it would affect everyone.

A zillion minus a zillion equals nothing.

** i actually think the artillery should be reoved also - but not getting a death would be ok. Plus, the artillery actually makes it very difficult to make strongholds which i think is a shame

Re: Artillery

Just dont be in the middle of a group running all over in panic. Pull back a little, and you will not be hit so often. The enemy commander will probably drop his arty on the biggest red blob he can find using his scanning capabilities. So dont bunch up......

Re: Artillery

Well umm you die from it? No?

So it should be counted as a death. Nothing really that complicated about it.

You (I) can't always avoid getting hit.

I swear the arty attracts to some code in my game that says "always hit this guy no matter where he is!!!" I could be under 10 feet of concrete and still get blasted. I guess it's crazy splash?

Or the time's spawning and bam! Theres been many time's I've even picked some empty spawns just to get arty'd again. Rinse repeat.

Alot of things in this game need longer spawn time/regenerating. Tank's, apc's, jet's, helo's, arty, supplies..etc.

No points from artillery, only thing it does is to bleed some tickets from the enemy team (and yours possibly)

Well, since we're making requests here, I think the opponent's weapons, vehicles, and UAV should be removed. And the opponents should be required to be afk for at least half of the round.

Re: Artillery

I think the arty should be REMOVED completely.

Commanders get points by the average pts of the team then if his team wins he gets 2x that. A commander can sit around and do nothing and recive points as long as his team is doing good. the better the team the better his score.

I do agree about artty shouldnt count as a death since its not counted as a kill for commanders anymore

Re: Artillery

The artillery counts towards badges, and it bleeds the tickets. I think it's fine the way it is. Though, I think artillery should still give negative points to the commander but not count as a tk (so he won't be banned for a bad artillery call but will hurt point wise if he does kill his teammates).

thats a very good idea

Re: Artillery

The kills you get as a commander count towards the badges of the kit you have, so if you are assualt you can ge the basic assualt badge from artillery kills.
