Do we really need the "Friendly Fire Option"

[evil.kinevil 64]

Noobs, save yourself the time and go troll some one else. Really what purpose does it serve? Why would anyone want to kill their team mates who they need to win? It's really annoying. I am at a pretty high tank and I thought my team mates would have enough experience to know not to enable that or do it, sadly, the other day I joined a sandbox battle I didn't create and there was this m3 firebird killing his teamates, we lost OF COURSE. I made a new account recently and have already achieved the warrant officer rank! But the noobs of the lower ranks are so annoying, they create a battle just kill their team mates for a laugh, it's always a firebird! Why do they do this you ask? BECAUSE THEY'RE KIDS! They are immature, I am 13, but I am mature and know when to take things seriously. It has no purpose and it is so stupid. Please remove it!

I agree with you completely on the part where these guys are just trolls and kill their teammate, but I don't think they should remove it now. It adds a kind of realistic feeling to the game. And then again there's the endless point of boringness to the game whereas the opposing team LEAVES, and you've already scored high points. Therefore, you can stay and teach each other a few tricks etc. so you could play better and gain new skills. Remember Evil Kinevil ( Gotta love that nickname lol) that Tank is working on a Team kick. So when some troll is there, just get your team to kick him. That outa teach him to not do that. I feel you bro, once I was on silence, we were 2 flags ahead. Firebird gets a great idea to kill everyone on our team. We lose badly. The other team had no trouble capturing flags because apparently 30 seconds into the game our team is killing EACH OTHER. Hah, though you can make a system in which you get everyone to troll him back and kill him as soon as he respawns. That outa burn him and get him to leave.

OP, I find what you've said insulting. It is not "stupid" it has it's purposes. Just because you have no liking for it does not mean it should be taken out.

 

It's simple. If you don't like it, don't play the matches that have it on.

The Friendly Fire is actually quite ironic and funny whereas you don't even know there is friendly fire until you read it says you've killed your own teammate. Lol xD

[jokjinari 160]

Friendly fire can be nice sometimes. For one, it makes the gameplay more challenging because you must be careful not to hit your teammates, yet it also can be helpful if somebody's tank is overturned you can kill them so they respawn faster.

[Scientist 4,224]

jokjinary is right. FF sometimes can help you

 

 

(Steal the flag from your teammates and capture it)

LOL! Well unless of course they respawn and kill you instead. xD. Gotta be one heck of a feeling, coming toward the flag base, and see a Shaft aimed straight at you. Gotta give him credit for waiting on you. xD

I don't really play FF much, but when I do I might accidentally kill someone with my Thunder, which doesn't really bother me much. My teammates always seem to scared of me to kill me. And all the Isidas flock to me. I fell like one of those random 'hot' new kids.

LOL! xD Thunder is basically the dominant character. Once it comes in, everyone's got to show Respect, and the Isidas hurry to earn your favor. Lol. You've got to feel pretty darn special. :3

[WookySpolf 63]

Yep. Once that was happening when a Twins/Mammoth joined... he was ignored.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Ignored? Not even one Isida? Thought Mammoth would be tempting to heal, with the buffed up Hp and all. I guess they underestimate Twins because on the labels, it says Twins M1 only have 11-13 damage per shot, and remember, Twins shoots FAST. 177 per minute I believe for M1. I guess they like the dominant Thunder which can wipeout in one shot.

[Attackers-UsuallyWin 0]

FF is real cool.

 

I dab the tab key - see who's top - keep taking them out with FF - then I get to be top dude - much crysto

U wanna get a newsflash? Thunder aint gud.. Twins is much better -_- that guy was probs joking, mammy twins r the best chance a team can hav of winning and every1 knos that. UNLESS mayb they r newbies like u. ur not a noob but ur a newbie cuz u dont kno much. Thunder is only gud with drugs on since everyone tries to get them protection paints these days Edited March 25, 2013 by icerugby

I have a question... do you know what the word 'Immature' actually means? If you don't, there was no need to say that the young kids that do play Tanki are Immature, because in a way, they're not. They are just doing the same thing all of us are doing: Trying to become the best. Have some mercy and patience with them please. You're 13, picking on kids that are probably ranging from 7-11. Please, just do what you need to do, and don't mind them. Also, if you hate Friendly Fire matches so much, it's basically your fault for entering the battle in the first part. So why should Tanki remove it? Because you don't like it? I don't believe so. You guys didn't like the 123 Update, it's still here. There's nothing you, nor me, can do about what's been placed into this game; just play and move on, ok? It'll save you a lot of trouble. :)

[SilentShadow 104]

No need for me to go into mass detail, the answer here is simple: Friendly Fire is good for players who want a realistic battle with collateral damage.

 

For instance, in a real war, if you accidentally shoot your teammate, he will take damage; just the same, abusing friendly fire in a war will get you into very big trouble.

[Farhan05 2]

a person cannot continuosly play seriously. They need some trolling after a while serious playing. Thats why they create such kind of battle to troll others. But they troll in number of ways like getting over mammoths and push some one high to low then block others way but the most fun they get when they are able to make someone upside down . lol :D . but if they annoy u y would u went to that battle?

[comeandgetit2 27]

Friendly fire is a great option to have for realistic battles because it forces people to think about how they use their guns. It should be left in the game. But I think that the trolls who push people over or friendly fire repeatedly ought to be banned forever.

A sympathetic tanker

Banned forever? I don't think it's that serious if someone is harming his team; that he should be banned permanently. People may change. Sure maybe a Day or so may help, but not forever... Edited March 25, 2013 by Dragon-Judgement

Tbh you put that in a really mean way.

since the update it is actually stupid. the freeze cooldown was designed to be combated by a team mate unfreezing you with firebird. so expertboy. explain how the devs thought that one through.

It is probably overkill. You are right, it should just be a long ban (at least a week). I have never done any of these and never will. I hope you don't either. I would also have to say that the vast majority of these actions are never punished anyway. If you want them to stop, the penalty must be severe to dissuade people not to do it because the risk they would get caught is so low.

[blasterbros 7]

no ! it is waste option :P

The actions get punished if proof is available. No proof = No ban. You just don't see a lot of penalties get taken care of because in some cases, the person reporting it does not have enough evidence to convict. So, best to just leave it at that, ok? :)

[LiquidGold 1,370]

yes its required i always like to fire on my friends, if i am cold i will even rub two tanks together and start a fire you cant do that if there is no friendly fire as you can not pick up an enemy tank

I've done that more than once. :blush And apologies don't help when you're the only english speaker on your team. (Thank God for google translate.)
