I'm sure the topic has been discussed before, but I still colliding vehicles IMHO needs some attention WP wise.
Ramming a LAV with a tank in order to destroy it.
Ramming a dropship with another dropship in order to destroy it.
...
You get the point, erh sorry no you don't get the a point out of it.
..and that's the problem. Sure if you run infantry over with vehicles you get WP for killing them, but destroying enemy vehicles in the same manner does not gain you anything. Sometimes this action is also more or less mandatory like yesterday when I was patrolling the skies with my dropship and observed red DS in the process of parking itself with the hopes of gaining superior position over the objective (domination). So I did the only thing that I had available to me to prevent this from happening and rammed it to the ground. Yes the red DS fell from the sky as intended while mine still survived to keep on patrolling the skies some more and yet not yielding any WP for me or my squad. No WP at all although this act in the very beginning of the match had a huge impact on the outcome of the battle as the red team failed to gain the access to the key position on the map. |

You should not be rewarded for this ever, least of all in terms of warpoints. When tanks do it they get the 'reward' of a dead enemy(or far more often ally) vehicle, or a lot of damage done when they crash into the enemy tank guns blazing.
Suicide ramming other dropships however should be punished as it's an unbelievably poor 'strategy', the collision damage on them is so high that even militia dropships can take out 1m+ isk dropships, it completely abuses poor vision, poor maneuverability, and most dropships inability to fight back.
I could literally hate you to death over the fact that you even admit to doing this. |

It's not suicide if you and your DS survives the collision, like I did. |

then your 'reward' is denying the enemy their position and costing them an expensive vehicle. You don't need warpoints for that. I'm sure if you had it your way you'd simply get points for lifting the dropship off the ground with a passenger in it - like 1wp per second per passenger. |

How's that different from destroying the vehicle with swarms, forge guns, railguns etc. Destroying them with weapons is as intentional as it is with ramming them with a purpose. Ramming just doesn't give any WP. Now if vehicle destruction wouldn't yield any points at all, meaning that you'd get only WP for killing players, I'd be just fine with that.
So why is it that for some reason some methods destroying vehicles is "better" and yield WP than some other methods that don't?
Although it is evident that this idea of using heavily armored and highly damage resistant dropship as a battering ram to bring down other dropships is repulsive to you, please try not to take it to a personal level and leave such BS out from your posts. |

I've rammed other dropships before, and I don't see a problem with it. There aren't any free dropships, and none of them are cheap enough that somebody would spend the money simply for 75 WP. So why not allow us to get some kind of reward for the risk?
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
