Fix "suicide" for better gameplay

[Pyr0Drakul-live]

Good evening, I would like to send you the following problem, several times I have come across people who “suicide” with planes to clear a place or destroy a tank, this is very annoying, frustrating and too much of an advantage for the American side due to its multiple 500 bombs lbs, I think they should fix the limit to drop missiles and bombs, or otherwise “kick” players who make multiple “suicides” during a game.

The following videos show the problem, with PS players kratosdirg and FaMDevilDog

In the first image I had already destroyed two tanks to the same player “kratosdirg” which were the Sherman Jumbo and the Sherma Firefly, before I had already tried to do the same maneuver to destroy my tank.

Second point to defend, I have just destroyed a Sherman tank when the player arrives again with his plane to crash into the base, eliminating all the defenders.

Third point, I am going to destroy a tank when again the player “kratosdirg” comes again with his A-20G-25 plane, committing “suicide” again, dropping the bombs on the base again, eliminates all the defense.

Already in a defensive position to destroy the Sherman Jumbo, the player “kratosdirg” reappears with the P-38J-15 destroying my tank again with suicide, 26 seconds have not just passed, which I had to wait for being wrong and crashing into it plane when it appears again

Finally, in the last photo you can see how he does it intentionally, to clear the base of the defenders.

I have nothing against the players mentioned, it’s just giving an example of what happens several times, both opposing teams and allies, I say again that the game would be more fluid without the presence of armored vehicles for some time, maybe they can add another type of vehicles such as semi-tracks

One opinion is that the vehicles must have a time limit to take them out, just like the air attack once launched takes 6 minutes to call it again, the game would be more fluid with infantry while the vehicles would go into the background.

I hope I am not offending anyone with what I have written above, but I would like to believe that I am not the only one who may have this problem, thank you for your attention.

Suicide bombing is honourable as a Japanese. It please ancestors and the Emperor, direct descendant of the Sun.

As for armoured vehicles, I’d never thought I’d say this one day… But with upcoming mm restrictions, they will be more than pointless as they won’t be meta, and as such, a waste of squad slot. Versatility, is not encouraged.

[ParaDivision]

you are right that its annoying, but its better for YOU that he suicides instead of surviving: the plane crashing deals no damage (coded on purpose this way, only the bombs deal damage) and he loses a squad, respawn tickets and respawn time.

[Conscript_Joe]

It’s completely free with a defending team, thought. I do this, while defending, if I want to show disrespect to some turd spamming end game tanks camping in grey zone.

Sure, not fair play at all I’ll grant it.

But it’s completely free of consequences when defending, effective, and most importantly insulting.

I’m on the same page as Conscript_Joe. I understand that some people get really annoyed by this but it has its time and place. If I’m on defence and our team is getting hammered by an end of campaign meta tank sitting in the gray zone? I’ll give it a couple of minutes to see if someone will take care of it or if our team can support me being in a plane for a long time I’ll handle it myself… BUT… if I simply need to jump in the plane to get rid of the tank and then need to get back to engineering or something then I have no issue with ending the flight at the same time I end the tank.

People in tanks get all pressed up on the blind side of buildings in the gray zone and then complain about people crashing planes into them. It’s funny, really.

“skill problems” I don’t think so until now I always come in first or second place above 80 deaths against 9 lost squads, most of the time the people I have against leave the games, which I also dislike because for me I know It makes me disrespectful for the players who are taking a while, in my case I have never abandoned a game even if I see it as a loss, and if I have it was for something that came out of an emergency, here rather the lack of skills They would be one of those who do not know how to do anything other than “suicide” does not have the ability to get through a defense without committing that.

[Pyr0Drakul-live]

We have a point in common, I personally do not like to use the Tiger tank, the truth is that it is a vehicle with a great advantage on land, but if you can see, at no time do I stay in the gray area if I defend, a tank is support for the infantry, not the infantry is the support of the tank, as I see it, battles will always be won with infantry, only that several times when this “suicide” thing is annoying, one plane after another doing it is irritating.

[Pyr0Drakul-live]

I think the same, both enemies and allies, staying in the gray zone is annoying and frustrating, I am the same as you, I give them time for the allies to try to do something, if I see my Panzerschreck is far to reach the enemy tank (many times with I blow them up with 1 or 2 shots) and this one is “mistreating” my allies a lot so I’ll take out my Tiger or the plane, after destroying it I’ll go back to the infantry because that’s how games are won, as I said the game goes more smoothly with infantry and leaving aside the tanks.

These are the primary reasons they should find a better fix. First solution would be to remove any kills or score from being gained by suicide bombers, second to ban them from aircraft for the rest of the match if they do it more than once.

[Conscript_Joe]

I know, it’s why I pointed it out.

Can’t really ban however, because:

• you might be critically hit, you WILL crash anyway… better make it count.
  or
• Japan! Kamikazeeeee!

probably why there’s still issues with this long known problem.

All I would do, is remove xp made from bomb crash. exept for the Japanese faction. Because japan.

[Cleetus_WA]

But accidents do happen, right? Yesterday I played Allies for the first time in a LONG while in Berlin and had some skill issues adjusting to the attacker plane after focusing on Berlin Axis for a while. After legit crashing while attacking twice in a match should I be banned? FWIW, I didn’t even kill the tank nor probably hit it - just crashed but quite near the tank.

I’ll add that more banned players in Berlin would just mean more empty servers and more bot farming. Maybe that’s what tankers want.

Nobody can take my kamikaze spirit out of me.

Tank spam VS Air spam seem fairly.

Funny how not to subject related sentence describes how broken the game is.

Eitherway did this as well to some extend. As for some reason DF thought tank immortal against enemy tanks was a good idea and brought immersion.
