This is the Hanomag's last second to live. An open flank - and two Shermans took the chance.
Poor SPEEDo doesn't even know yet that her entire squad will be eliminated within the next few seconds.

Please note that every time you blow yourself up, your team will lose 1 ticket.
So, strictly speaking, that's team killing after all.

By the way, i found an empty, worn and dirty wallet. Could it be yours?

Hey Lucca.
You should definately consider getting in touch with Serebro.
He makes the best Battlefield videos i have ever seen.

Hi Marek.
Sounds like an auto-kick for minus score.
Good work with the APCs, by the way.

Well, the disadvantages quickly became apparent.
Example #1
Player A, a normal and reasonable player accidentally TKs player B,
who is simply an idiot and jumped in front of Player A's gun.
Player A shouts at player B, because B is even more of an idiot and ptk'ed A, who has now 1 minute spawn time.

Example #2
Player C operates the APC and gets rammed by a car.
There's a bug every now and then which makes the truck driver responsible for the passengers.
The result is that every player inside the APC counts as TKed by the APC driver.
Not every victim does ftk in time and player C ends up with 2 and a half minutes spawn time.

The original idea behind ftk and ptk is good, but in practice it simply does not work.

What the heck?
Does it really need a philty truck driver to tell 'em what is going on ??
Alright. This thread was originally about the Angry Djungle Dweller irrationally suggesting kick for not saying sorry.
Now, having a gaming session with well mannered players is something most of us most certainly do appreciate.
These ftk and ptk commands were meant to teach a lesson to those whose TKs are questionable.

They did work, Minnie, here on SiMPLE. The settings were like this:

TK             =   a few seconds spawn time added
TK + ftk     =   normal spawn time
TK + ptk    =   regular penalty + spawn time added from every victim who applies ptk

According to a BFSM control panel a player can also be kicked after receiving a certain number of ptks,
regardless of his score.
Ah, by the way, bf1942.eu shows all this as enabled on SiMPLE, if i'm not mistaken.

But i'm just a truck driver, if anyone knows better, please step forward and correct me, i'm fine with it.

Cheers.

Nah, that won't work. In cramped fighting conditions, as you mentioned, you might not notice you have TKed.
And when there's a lot of killing going on the message gets lost too many times (sometimes it even can't be found browsing the console).
What if trolls and idiots jump into your fire - wanna say sorry to them then?
Another example: countless times players trying to enter the APC were run over because when position 2 is occupied
getting into the truck is only possible at the rear half of the vehicle.
etc., etc.
It would be way better to bring back the ftk and ptk commands.

It's a thin red line - adapting gameplay to mods or adapting mods to gameplay.

Yes, a well-populated game will have a certain percentage of bots.
And the map favours the defenders, hence without at least a tiny bit of teamplay
the Allied hardly have a chance to advance.
In a 50+ round it is mere luck that the key positions have no trashy players on it.

So yeah - let's give it a try and reduce the number of explosives.
For engineers make it 1 disc and 1 cake. The others get 1 grenade.

Too crazy. Imagine the damage. And the crew will be kicked for minus in no time.

Thin red line, **PN** Flyboi. Here's the thing: have the APCs spawning as used to be,
the current setting is like 3 minutes or so.
The Hanomag shall not feature the troop spawning from the beginning. Make this ability dependant from the flags.
While the Allied truck serves as mobile spawner all the time, the Axis one has it's ability bound to mid flag.
As soon as the mid flag turns grey the Axis team shall have reinforcements,
once Axis has taken back mid flag the Hanomag turns into a standard vehicle again.

Alright, here's an impression of a thrilling round.
VliegjesGehakt (he's among the top 5 APC commanders) managed to slip through.
At this point the battle was raging half an hour already.
How's the outcome you guess?

one and a half minutes later

She's Canadian.

Yeah, i like that.
In addition, bring back !ftk and !ptk and train the bots to use it.
