1.06 vehicles - own weapons kill friendly tanks

-Modified: vehicles can now hurt themselves with their own weapons

I havent really tried it out a lot, only on one map
I had a vanilla nf light tank on badlands


I shot at cliffs, rocks and my own structures, by sticking to them
I didnt get any damge from it tho.

However, I went up 2 my own teams apc (twice) and shot at them while sticking to them
and i teamkilled both apc's without getting any damage myself
This was on the official and im pretty sure FF was not on because infantry cant teamkill each other

Im going to bed now tho, will check it out tommorow again.
btw sry tokenoki PP

edit: lol 1.05 was tired

 

You made me think there was new info on the new patch, damnit. Got my hopes all up and stuff. Grr! I'm sure the idea behind this modified effect was to worry about arty tanks, not light tanks. I did it with arty, and (although I might have just ran into something by accident) damaged myself.

 

Yah man, get title right next time!

 

quite annoying i guess as its now possible to destroy any tank weather on your team or are on the other team ,
looks like this will breed a new kind of scumbag that wont have to drive your mcv into the other teams base , mearly buy a expensive tank and blow it away, i havent seen that happen yet but we know its just a matter of time.

so far some goon called "susages" in some server was being a complete asshole and was attacking me even tho we was on same team, i was lucky to blow his ass away in time before i was dead...

does this mean eventually we will be able to damage our own buildings too with tanks? the ammount of asshole traitors will be impossble to control , the commander would have to build a detention center just to keep em away from critical buildings...

The idea of the modification was so it was harder to use HE and nukes etc. cause you could throw a tactical nuclear warhead 5 feet from you and suffer no damage. Doesn't make sense that you use a nuke so close and does no damage to you.

Unfortunately, seems there's a bug that lets you damage other friendly tanks, which shouldn't be happening.

 

Hopefully that will be fixed.

I do worry though, what if people start driving in front of a friendly tank just as it's about to fire. Granted, this was possible as an annoyance before but it wouldn't blow you up.

Should this damage be reduced or removed when hitting friendly tanks to prevent griefing?

 

I like it. It's not that much of an annoyance and it'll give artillerists another thing to think about.
Once people get used to it you should hardly have any friendly fire.

 

ok I have no clue what half of you is talking about

this is not friendly fire

-Modified: vehicles can now hurt themselves with their own weapons

means tanks hurt themselves, not their team
just like getting damage from your own grenade

whatever the idea behind it is, its not about damaging friendly tanks :/

 

Looks, like a bug and not a feature. Good spot.

 

how could anyone not notice there own tanks trying to blow you away when you return to the base (half the ppl on your team cant identify a friendly tank,damn noobs)

 

Infantry weapons also have the same effect. I was trying to unstick an Arty tank with some Frags, ended up blowing it up, not out.
