I think this post both a complaint and a plea as an improvement.
Sorry if this has been posted before, but it really got on my nerves while playing last night and it cost me a fair bit of points.
I am getting really irritated when these 2 things happen.
Case 1.
Situation: You blow up an enemy vehicle, YAY!, then some idiot team mate runs up to and gets blown to high heaven by the ensuing explosion.
Result: Either a Team Damage or TK. Why should I get punished for someone elses idiocy, blindness etc?
Solution: If someone gets blown up in such a manner it should be considered a suicide, as only a reckless fool would rush next to an exploding vehicle. Its like commander arty strikes.
Case 2.
Situation: You are driving along in a (insert vehicle type) when a teammate in another vehicle comes round the bend and both of us crash and both incure damage or death. Also when you are in a fierce armour vs. armour fight, you back up to reposition of avoid fire, then, BUMP!, Team Vehicle Damage cause some fool felt that he needed to drive his jeep to get a closer view of the battle.
Result: Either Team Damage or TK or even both!!! How is it my fault or his that we crashed??
Solution: Just minus off the damage we personally incur, no need for additional punishment.
These were the 2 situations I keep encountering last night.
I know they may be just minor stuff to some of you guys out there, but it happened so often last night.
I know people will say "then dont be a vehicle whore", that i am not, i play both in vehicle or on foot rather equally.
Ok sorry, rant over.
