Kamikazes in IL-2

[nurfman]

I have landed and am capturing the airfield and bam 2 planes from the other team plow into me.Im chasing a Spitfire and bam mid air collision and these guys seemed to be crashing into anything they could. It dosnt upset me but we wernt playing in arcade mode and i assumed its more fun to play using my MGs. I know the patch will try and sort this with -ve score But if you can crash into me then you probably could of shot me so why do it?

Well it's easier to hit you if your on the ground, for one thing. But some people just do it for fun or to be assholes. Me like to drop bombs on people landing in CTA from my po-2. Only thing is I was just dropping a couple of bombs the other day trying to clear an area, and accidently hit a teammate. :O d'oh!

Well, I know for a fact that some people will try to hit the other plane if they run out of ammo...there's nothing else to do really

No sir, you bail out, and let your pilot-free plane hit them. That right there is true skill.

However, I do hate those people who suicide you while you're on the runway or just ram you. I've played matches with people like that on my team. I've heard what they blurt out while they do it. I've verbally abused them or told them to cut that crap out. If they want to kamikaze, Battlefield 1943 takes place in the Pacific theatre. But this is European, so save your plane.

However...bombing them is just fine. Not my fault their stationary, and quite the legal move. My question for you guys is if you think it's an asshole move to shoot someone with your tail gunner if you and an enemy are both on the runway.

Yes! People, we need more rants! It's not like anyone goes to this forum with serious questions, I go here to hear other people complain about the annoying stuff that I experience in-game myself!

(Morale: Please stop ranting, doesn't help anyone. If you need to vent your anger, go flame someone via XBOX Live or PS3.)

Well said sir!

However, I WILL rant (half-heartedly) about rockets in CTA. They do NOTHING! I shot 6 at one guy once, and I distinctly saw at least one hit his plane, and did nothing to him

And your constant ranting about rants is doing wonders for the topic at hand, and every other topic you post the same thing in. It just makes you feel better when other people say "Yeah, I ran into an asshole like that. Those guys really suck." If you have a serious question, that's great. Post it! If you want to say something else, well...we'll talk about something else!

their kill radius seems to be the same of a bullet :S. if you fire the rocket 1mm next to the plane, it is no kill. should be at least a 5 meter kill radius for them to be usefull
