Freindly fire

[smokeyh2 1,512]

Is freindly fire to be expected in this game?

freindly fire is a term i use to describe accidently hitting a player on your team

 

today i was playing a serpuhov ctf on the red team

i was using my mammoth shaft combo parked at the bridge

as you all know when in scope mode using shaft you dont have much visibility

just what you see in your sight

 

i saw a team member coming towards me carrying the flag

he came up the ramp next to the bridge and i focussed my sight to cover him

incase a blue team member was chasing him

 

ok this was defo my fault but behind him was one of our hornet isida combo

having to make a quick millisecond decision i accidently shot the isida and blew him over

luckily the other team member made it with the flag

 

what can i do?

i did not do it purposely

but i must admit i did feel a bit rotten for doing it

i appologised to the players in the chat

they did accept my appology

 

 

has this happened to you guys?

It's a mildly annoying design flaw with the UI - even though you can see your teammates' name labels at any distance, they still get obstructed by the maps' objects such as bridges, tunnels and houses, meaning that you don't actually know if a player is on your team or not if their name tag is above the screen or covered by a map object (while the tank is visible). Quite often I find myself shooting at teammates and then feeling dumb after they reveal themselves and I realise my mistake...  I wouldn't call it a serious issue, but it's a mild inconvenience nonetheless.

Not if you just shoot your teammate once by accident. Bans for sabotage are only given out if the player consistently keeps trying to ruin the game for teammates, not just for a one time mistake.

I wouldn't worry about it, no one going to get annoyed over a once off. 

 

Persistently doing it will tick people off.

Luckily there aren't many friendly fire battles, it's worst battle that can be found in tanki, even more if it's CTF. Your team members killing you with flag so they can have points. Every battle there are at least 2-3. Beware these battles if you can :D

There aren't a lot of Friendly Fire battles. 

All of us make mistakes sometimes, do not judge a battle from one mistake. I still remember my real life friend when he was playing Tanki. He told me to get the flag and he will defend. When i manage to get the flag to our base, he kills me and captures it, taking most of the points then he laughs at me. Although it was annoying, these memories were awesome. He used to love Friendly Fire matches because of that :D

Y'all don't seem to get the problem. He accidentally shot a friendly in a normal game, and the knockback pushed him off a cliff. I find a teammate shooting me to be quite annoying, especially when I'm shaft as that will knock me around and ruin my shot. Perhaps remove knockback from friendly fire, or allow it to be toggled in case a friend wants to help you get out of a tricky spot.

If you are worried about  pushing your teammates with your weapon, use Isida, flamethrower, freeze, etc...

Sometimes that impact helps your teammate.  Helps if he is on his side or is stuck somewhere.

With thunders explosion, shooting team members will be actually good (if there are enemies close to him)
