Change artilleries to friendly fire

Good day

Just a suggestion
Change that any fired artillery can inflict damage to allies.
This will stop constant bombardments with troops running in and just cheesing through defensive points.

Fire have friendly fire and so most are rather careful of its use but still retains its battlefield potency.
I am fond of the new update but every match is a sound test for Artillery audio and nothing else.

Has been asked for before by me, long ago, lol, there’s a reason, someone will remember why it wont be implemented.

I wanted/asked a whole Mode, for FF, everything FF :stuck_out_tongue:

No.
It used to inflict friendly fire, and was a lot more irritating than your problem is.

I remember making one of the initial complaints about artillery Friendly Fire lol. It was truly terrible because you can’t stop morons from running into a big red dot.

Bring back friendly fire for artillery strike more like.

They just need to put it on it’s own dedicated squad so it can’t be everyone in the lobby potentially calling it.

no the reason was a bug and it also kind of helped with artie since as some maps can actually be locked down by constant cap point barrages

They will continue to use them anyway no matter there’s a friendly fire or not, causing trouble for their teammates, just like how they use bombing run support now. People with normal sense all know that bombing run is useless, but they just insist on using them.

If radioman support inflicts friendly damage, I just can’t wait to see the chaos that bombing runs cause called by these fools.

Those who spam protection artillery and abuse it deserve to bomb their own team mates.
Matches is just mostly one artillery audio track.
Perhaps people would make use of actual skills for once

This is true, total spam of artillery strike and useless air support or not at all, and there’s no middle ground.

The simple reason it won’t work is because you have no way of enforcing the FEBA and ensuring that ppl don’t actually run into the arty fire. The game is too dynamic and the players don’t have the comms tools to coordinate effectively in the very short space of time that players force on the game through rushes.

have a better idea
replace non radio squad arty with smoke arty
