Restore friendly fire from ally bombs and artillery fire. Air bombs and artillery fire should not be something that gives you a 100% advantage when capturing a point, and when using an airstrike, infantry should look for cover rather than storming the point.
It’s very unfair to the defenders that the attackers walk into an open spot in a rain of allied bombs and artillery shells without risk of dying.
Regarding bombs and rockets, it should apply to both AI and player controlled bombers.
I would also like mortar and throw grenades to deal at least limited damage to allies.

as much as i’d agree.
i have to disagree.
especially in a free to play.
where everyone can play.
meaning that, no matter restriction, punishment and what not, friendly fire will always end up backfiring because it’s gonna increase.
which, it’s the very reason why has been removed in the first place.
you’re giving more ammunition to bad actors.
in my opinion, stalingrad had a better alterinative.
( although very primitive that it end up being removed because of the tintinnus that had with )
bring back shake screen and sort of suppression system.
so that if you decide to charge, you’ll be disoriented for quite a bit. but avoid friendly fire.

Did you just loose a match to paratroopers and artillery?

I don’t have a problem with you loosing to paratroopers (not a huge fan of them either) but I like the way the artillery is now.
I use artillery myself and wreak cosmic results with an airplane. And this pushed me to the fact that attackers should not enter the point when it is under artillery fire, air strike, and allies should not drop bombs into the heart of the battlefield with impunity.

Trust me, I understand where you are coming from. HOWEVER:
- They would need to have penalties for team-killing, which I do think needs to happen anyways.
- They would need to increase durability/resistance of sandbags as a way stay protected from it. Otherwise teammates won’t be able to push even close due to the constant bombardment. If they take cover, wait for it to pass, then push, I could see friendly fire existing from it.

Full friendly fire.
This sounds cool, but it would require players to have full teamwork like in running simulators.
In CB, that’s how it worked so that all explosive devices killed everyone without exception. Anti-tank rifles and automatic cannons pierced through wooden houses. Rifle ammunition pierced the walls.
And now the game goes into such a heroshooter mode.

Although the damage caused by flamethrowers and molotov cocktails to friendly forces has been weakened, we often see killed friendly forces. This is not a question of advantage. There has never been a 100% advantage. Soldiers affected by friendly fire have no fighting capacity, because they can’t aim at it at all.
Friendly fire should not be restored. The previous bomb is a good example. It is often friendly rather than enemy who is killed, which is why it will be removed.One more thing, there is no advantage in rushing to attack without waiting for the shelling to destroy the enemy. Why should we sacrifice our soldiers to kill the enemy that could have been destroyed by shelling?
I have to go to sleep though.
Because when I read it, I realized that it’s already late.
Why should we sacrifice our soldiers?
You’re not sacrificing them right now because you’re running into a rain of bombs and artillery shells and mortar grenades. And you take a point.
The lack of friendly fire from bombs, rockets, artillery and grenades means that defending a point where there are no buildings protecting against enemy fire is lost. And you lose because the enemy runs into the point in the fire of the allied barrage without any consequences.
I’d rather die, thanks
Screen shake is just nauseating, you can still spam granades or rush into objective with flamethrowers and burn everything.
So friendlies have to be smart enaugh to not walk into fire.
But walking into artillery is too much to ask.
That being said, artillery is biggest cancer in game, and for 2 years there is still bug of rounds landing on edge of red circle, where all bots walk to avoid it
Good night.
What needs to be corrected is that there are consequences, that is, screen jitter, which makes people unable to aim at it at all. In other words, it is impossible to form an effective counterattack against the enemy. It should also be pointed out that the time of shelling and rockets is only a few seconds, but the subsequent dizziness will last for a while, which is also an opportunity for the enemy.
Flamethrower and phosphor spam would like to have a word.
All it does it make my head hurt
It make my head hurt too. I have been burned to death by crazy teammates many times.They don’t care about other people’s lives, they just want to get kills and scores.
I’m quite used to full friendly fire. Hardcore was always my preferred
it would slow the game down alot (force people to reconsider target acquisition, bombing, artillery, explosive spam, etc. Only if you put in the massive negative for killing friendlies. as in minus score, no xp, no cards if all you do is massacre your own.
but I guess hardcore is a minority.

I think this game needs hardcore.
Just look at the fact that a lot of people have moved away from the arcade WoT to the more realistic WT. And it’s the same with shooters, just look at the success of EFT.

we have it as a custom setting for custom matches also we had an official queue for hardcore called lone fighters and that was so dead that they moved it over to custom matches
What I want is friendly fire in normal team mode. Not from all weapons, but from explosive and fiery toys.
arty i can get behind but not normal grenades especially since we already had issues with purposeful TKs in this game already. hell flamethrowers already do friendly fire damage and we STILL have people not caring for whom is burning
