Dropping 2 bombs on a target or 4-5 if you're in the bomber is all about the pilots assessment of the situation...I do not believe that the pilots do not care about who's on the flag or not, and only play for points...For example....in my case....we're playing operation clean sweep and the USMC has capped abandoned village which is a useless flag...Enemy will always bunch up and it will always be a perfect place to bomb, at least 4 kills a drop....Anyways, if small airstrip, or the main airfield, comm central or harbor ( essential MEC flags) is turned by the enemy (USMC), I will turn around and go bomb that flag, and keep bombing it until I see a bunch of smurfs capping it back...It's all about pilot assessment, so I strongly disagree that pilots just bomb for their own personal count...I play for the team and I think I can speak for the rest of my usual squadmates / jet whores.

Jeep thinks it's a Civil War re-enactment, that's why he walks everywhere.

My General Rule of Thumb....
unless I know for a fact if Tk was on purpose or not..
I wait ~10 seconds ..
if apology comes = I forgive
if no apology = I punish

also, I almost always forgive pilots because the mini-map is too small to show how close you are the bombing point and by the time you can see blue names on the ground in front of you it's almost always too late.....exception to this in when I'm in armor and no enemy armor around.

He doesn't believe in cars, even if you offer him free transportation.

I almost always forgive accidental/mistaken TK"s. Too bad the favor is rarely returned. It seems that most people are quick on the punish trigger for obvious accidents.

What gets my goat is when the game is decided and all is left is the time it takes for it to end....the score is 150 to 20, the enemy is at one flag praying for the game to end, ground pounders are moving in to finish them off and then out of the blue here comes a friendly jet who already has a 5 to 1 KDR in the game and drops bombs that take out friendlies.

Forgive me....but 1) That is not team work, 2)It is an example of a person more interested in his stats than what is happening in the game.

I have been killed more at the end of a game by jets and helos racking up points on a defeated team than any other time in the game and to be quite honest...It pisses me off!

This server preaches team work and it's why we all play here, it's why I play here.....I personally see no difference when a jet or helo pilot is racking up team kills at the end of a game that is decided than someone who team kills for a jet or helo or any other piece of equipment. I do not see this type of team killing as an accident....I see it as on purpose and to me it deserves punished...in fact in my opinion....it deserved much more.

I watch the ticket count religiously when I am playing. I am always telling my squad members.."look at the ticket count!" The purpose is to stay focused on the goal. I do not believe that jet pilots and helo pilots do not recognize when the game is decided. If you attack an enemy that is surrounded and ground pounders are moving in and the game is decided and you STILL drop your bombs or shoot your cannon, the you have violated the very essences of the team spirit that is preached here by killing members of your team.

When the game is decided.....practice your flying.....join the grunts on the battle field....go get a beer.....make love to your wife......JUST don't bomb or shoot your team!!!

Bluemaxox, as a fellow ground pounder I feel your pain and must admit it does get to me when it happens; but on the whole I think most of the pilots pick their targets pretty well to avoid the teamkills. As in every situation there will be a select few dumbasses.

I don't mind seeing the air support lay into the last enemy flag as long as they are not lighting up the perimeter. Most of the time they are taking out the enemy vehicles leaving them no way to escape the carnage. Us groundpounders on the perimeter can just hang back and pick off the guys trying to escape on foot.
