This morning I'm piloting Blackhawk on deck of carrier on Dalian plant, and waiting
patiently on deck for the troops to pile in. We are one guy short of a full load, I fly
off the deck and head straight to shore.

Our OWN JET flies back to the carrier and RAMS the full helo and I GET PUNISHED and
kicked off the server because the OTHER JACKASS can't fly in properly from the END of
the carrier instead of straight at me.

Why on earth is the punish system setup to assume that if the transport pilot crashes,
that the blame is put on his/her shoulders?! How hard would it be for EA / DICE to alter
the rules such that in collisions between friendly jets/choppesr, the onus is on the JET
NOT TO CRASH INTO FRIENDLY CHOPPERS!!!

sigh, time to grab a cup of coffee and step away from the keyboard

It's not necessarily the pilot - I was no2 in the AH64 the other day and
punished for TKing the pilot of the AH and the plane he crashed into.

haha! i thought i recognised the name

You were playing with me today acey boy in the gaming source 64 ranked
server (i also go by the name mogambo)

I kick/ban people fo delibratly crashing their planes into helis and
punishing for accidental tk's (although this is harder to moderate :
/ )...so it might do your blood pressure some good if you stick around!

It seems that any collision between friendly car and friendly tank is always
the tanks' fault. Not sure why it is coded this way.

It might be a simple loop over an internal array of vehicles, and the tanks
are in the array before the cars. Take a look at the Python scripts to see
the kinds of logic DICE uses.

It's DICE's new patent-pending "Rock Paper Scissors" algorithm.
