#1 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Kamikaze should not be ILLEGAL » 2024-10-17 21:24:18

A few days ago in battle of brittain, i was gunner in a pretty fresh B17 and the pilot approached the axis base in low altitude and without warning/chance to bail he used it as kamikaze plane. I only warned him (i was probably too forgiving) and we had a discussion about it.
I don't know if you are this nice person but i like to state the following:
1. In my eyes, it ist disruptive gameplay to unnecessarily sacrifice crewmembers as like driving a car into a river on purpose with a passenger.
2. Using a fully armed heavy Bomber in Good condition without additional crew as kamikaze plane could be considered disruptive too (especially if they do not spawn like mushrooms in autumn like in Battle of brittain).
I have no problem with kamikaze attacks in general but there should to be boundaries of acceptable behavior, for example concerning aspects of indirect teamkilling and wasting of rare valueable vehicles. If someone wants to destroy an enemy Bomber as Kamikaze, a fighter plane does the job.
If you are out of bombs in B17 for example and suffered damage and won't make it home anyway and warned your Crew, it's a completely different story.

+1
However attackers should limit the damage to the area of the legit target as good as possible.
Negative example: attacking vertically with Bomber and using multiple bombs or using artillery (and not even aiming properly, especially towards the wrong dierection).

Many recordings that i see have a way worse quality then the live picture quality is.
From score the dogfight winner can know whether the bailer has died in the meantime, if however i as admin know it too and if no others get affected on such a late kill, i wouldn't act on it.
If someone bails on enemy main to kill someone who is not active, it's another story. You have to know the target is active, otherwise punishment is clearly legit and worth of escalation on further occasions.

Off topic: Nice Video, is it the real Alvarez Latino who keeps jumping on deck of driving carrier to die and cause the server to blame the carrier captain for 2 teamkills that are none?

We ordered the Logitech EXTREME 3D Pro, it meanwhile arrived and was easy to put into service for BF1942 without extra Software.

Thanks a lot!

Hello Pilots,

does anyone know a USB or PS2 joystick available on the market that works uncomplicated with BF1942 under Win10 (home)?
My father does model flying and wants to play BF1942 too but he doesn't want to use keyboard for flying since it behaves differently.
On the model flying control he has two little joysticks(of which he mainly uses the right one) und i thought he could fly with mouse but it's not the same either.

Can you recommend somthing?

What about this ones?:

It was for mutiple tk, i don't remember the exact situation when i saw him doing it on purpose, however the ban exspired meanwhile, anyway read and follow the rules pls.
@Vertigo: Thx for the nice Picture.

#11 Re: Server Ban Appeals » banned me » 2020-12-07 22:59:05

Keep him banned with that attitude

#12 Re: Server Ban Appeals » please unban me from kursk » 2020-11-18 22:35:47

Didn't he learn to aim dangerous firearms allways into a safe direction, especially if the hardware has malfunctions?
Btw. a standard mouse like logitech M100 does the job.

If he is banned, pls don't unban him because of this BS excuses

#13 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned by idiot voljislav » 2020-10-28 20:47:13

Under the named circumstances i would punish him too and still believe it was purpose tk because it's either purpose or so idiotic that you can't expect anyone to believe you if you say it was an accident.

#14 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Igor' » 2020-09-13 21:48:15

Hello igor,

sorry for the ban, it seems i got the wrong player without recognising the mistake immediatly.
I remember to ban another player for a a day a few hours ago.
You are unbanned

#16 Re: Report Abuse » Player "napsterfan" » 2020-07-09 19:25:48

if he reports but breakes rules himself, i agree.
Otherwise reporting with screenshots/Videos and enter "ptk" in console are the best Reaction for a bad situation without admins.

#17 Re: Report Abuse » Player "napsterfan" » 2020-07-08 22:38:24

The problem is, if someone didn't see that you are not the one who started, he woult tk you (or if it is an admin kick/ban you) to protect others from you.
That are reasons why it is not allowed here, since it is a game you can effort not to defend yourself or others.
Btw. real self defence is only given if an attack is about to happen or lasting, afterwards it would be selfjustice which is not allowed irl too.

#18 Re: Report Abuse » Panzer_ in Battle of the Bulge » 2020-07-08 14:43:36

As you can see+, I appreciate that you report each other for allmost the same thing.
If the last player of a team is afk or doing nothing to get a flag (like for no reason just fooling around without approaching a flag or running into the empty desert/totally absurd places or swimming into death),
i see no problem to report his Position. Otherwise not pls, even if it is obvious that the team has no chance to win anyway.
I mean since when do we stop fighting in that situation and do not try to reduce the size of the defeat/enemy victory?
In reality it would have been better for some parties but that is not a game were you should enjoy the epic moments of a last fight or turnaround.

#20 Re: Report Abuse » Panzer not telling the truth » 2020-07-04 00:33:30

If that aa gun has been used to shoot before, it is legit target until destroyed, empty or not.
But not seeing an aa gun on the minimap does not guarrantee it is the one that is shooting at you, it also could have been destroyed by someone else and respawning soon.
In other words, returning fire at base aa guns is often a tricky thing. be nice too each other

#22 Re: Report Abuse » bunch of players doing this at guadalcanal » 2019-12-12 00:18:47

Now i remember that round, i was axis and eating dinner while securing iron bottom sound with a ship. Allies rarely had flags, now i know one reason why.
If i see that, i kick for it too.

#23 Re: Server Ban Appeals » My banned thread » 2019-12-09 21:17:07

Not that i can stand this thread but...
unlock fps is allowed even by liga rules but does it affect hitreg? Never heard of that before, so far i did not increase my fps (old monitor).

#24 Re: Report Abuse » Base rape allowed? » 2019-11-21 20:14:33

In this context just one more thing: Don't (fly over enemy base to) follow planes that are taking off.

#25 Re: Report Abuse » Base rape allowed? » 2019-11-19 22:06:48

The exceptions firing aa gun and Artillery are usually interpretet as pure examples for legit targets inside a base in a way that everything that fires out of a base/did fire out of the base within the same life or returns to a base is legit target. Based on that it is sometimes hard to say if the attack was allowed or not thats why i wouldn't kick easyly for a wrong accusation about this except i know that the accuser knows better.
However it is difficult with B17 to hit only the active target so unpermitted baseattack is likely.

I don't know what kind of minimap you have/use but concerning kills: I would see only teamkills on mine.

No but i think you just want to know every legal trick i know but even that might be not all so

Is´nt that the definition of pixelshooting? Arent we supposed to use the scout support?

So what is the definition of pixelshooting? Never seen one.
Sure is one thing: In reality clouds are not static and aiming at them is an unrealistic advantage.
If Darcano fires with landmarks und knows (excactly) were he hits from spots/reports in earlier rounds (unreal knowledge), it might be also pixelshooting but he won't need the minimap for that and he doesn't have to guess anything.

He could use a spot or especially in that map other legal methods beside blind fire.

that is pixelshooting frank. it doesnt matter if you use the minimap, trees, the sky, pixels etc..

To be accurate, what i mean includes guessing/blind fire:
I doubt that it is pixel shooting if you look at the minimap, have just an idea what might be in the ballistic curve behind a landmark, don't know where you hit but kills prove that the theorie is at least successfull. I didn't use that tactic on simple since i know many admins here think/did think the following: "If you don't have a spot, it's pixeling." but i think it is legit if it is really as i said.

if a player in arty adjusts the aim with anything else than a sniper spot, then it is "pixel shooting". another more fitting term could be

"stationary aiming using secondary targets"

frank ....  "blind shooting" is the only other legal alternative to sniper spotting

All bullshit, yesterday (aberdeen) a player reported to me: "more right" "more left" etc. It was additional to his own spot but it also can be used without.
Sometimes even the minimap tells you were you hit(for last adjustments).

It can be done legally on Caen, look at the minimap and landscape.
