Friendly fire for explosives

Like title says add friendly fire for all explosives like artillery have. I ts pretty lame people can throw grenades on points when friendly troops rush in being totally immune to explosions. That would also help for mortar spam when defender just uleashes barrage to attackers.
This would also include plane bombs and tank he shells.

Cause most people woulnt just care about friendlies make some hefty penalty like -500exp or more per killed ally. That way team killer would get less orders and advance slower

In addition if people get negative exp after match make it stay negative.
Example some mortar guy kills 100 ally and quits. he get -50k negative exp that he must grind before he can advance in campaing level

You really hate mortars huh?

Not actually mortars but skilless explosive spam like battlefiels 1 had in some maps

There would be too much intentional friendly fire from grenades.

Mortars, as well as planes should be added to friendly-fire enabled weapons though imo.

you can friendly fire people in tanks by running htem over

however devs need to be careful how freindly fire is done.

if its on artillery thats a giant greifing mechanic
same with planes

I think it’s a feature on tanks so that players don’t find a way to exploit tank collision.

Bombs on plane does have FF, once i won game in invasion thanks to this, as enemy BF 109 cleared point of all enemy and we with 0 tickets won then. :smiley:

Well, that pretty much explains why they don’t have FF. It’s not about people throwing explosives, but rather about blind team members running into them.

The biggest boys right now: Artillery and Planes already have FF even though it is much weaker.

Are you sure Planes and Artillery have FF? I’ve only noticed being killed by my own Artillery and don’t recall ever getting a team kill.

Artillery is definitely friendly-fire as my teammates love running into my artillery from halfway across the map to die to it.

Planes however I haven’t seen FF for.

Yes, I have gotten killed by friendly artillery and have killed some friendlies with it.

P.S by artillery I mean the Radioman. Can’t speak for mortarts yet.

Planes (at least bombs) do have FF. Have seen that myself many times

Is there a notification or stat for it? I have been using the Radio squad and Mortars a good amount recently and don’t recall a single incident and I bring it down right on top of objectives… I must have been slaughtering my teammates…

Well, they do appear to have much lover damage towards friendlies since I have gotten kills, yet not that often.

Sadly I think there isn’t a stat for that yet.

You’ll see hitmarkers and it’ll be in the kill feed but you won’t get notified that you teamkilled someone.

That’s hilarious… Jesus, I wonder how many times I’ve been killed and how many teammates I’ve killed just thinking there was no FF at all.

I frequently bomb close to the front lines and the high score for ff out of a plane is 5 atm. Nothing to major but does some decent dmg to them. Seems good enough to make me think not to drop to close

I think that artillery friendly fire should have some message like - big red “you killed a friendly !!!” or something.

Because new players may not read those stats on the right side of the screen and they do not even know that they might kill someone by accident.
