So, apparently, the cool new thing to do is when you see an ally drop-ship is to shoot it down with rail-guns (I think).
I've lost 3 ships to random blue-dots taking taking sots at my ship from LAVs or HAVs. When hit by these non-damaging shots hit, they knock back the ship and if hit from below and the side it will rotate the ship. The first time, I was rocketed into a building and in the surprise itself I didn't notice it was allied caused. The second time was the same map when I hit another building, but survived long enough to notice I took no damage from the shots. Third time I crashed into the ground after being rotated upside down.

There are also ways (no I won't repeat them, in matches where FF isn't enabled they're exploits) to team kill with any vehicle as well as grenades (or for that matter even just the collision mechanics between mercs).
If we had FF turned on at least then it wouldn't be such a surprise and we could simply shoot back rather than wondering what the kitten just happened.

Only friendly fire I know of is vehicle on vehicle crashing. frustrating to have your 200k methana run over by a friendly tank or being tboned by a free lav. No gun stuff though never seen that happen. |

Consider it practice. when you get hit by a rail you need to maintain control of you DS. when a friendly blue dot hits you you can sit there and take hit after hit and not lose your DS, but if a red dot does it you need to be able to control your DS well enough to get out of dodge.
So learn to fly. |

Not sure it is a question of flying, some hit from tank, installation and forge really make you go in any direction. I remember getting shot by a friendly tank, I was high enough not to crash, or getting rammed and insta killed by a LAV before I took of...Man, what was the point. Dropship are already not that good at giving the pilot some WP, we are already bullet magnet from the red team. They are only good for dropping folks in the field and surprise ennemy, even there, blue from the public most of the time get in there, shoot at Friendly LAV, HAV, MCC...everything other than what they should, overheating the guns in seconds...
Do we really need some stupid blue to stop playing against red to just point their guns at the sky and shoot friendly dropship? |

needs fixed.
Last game some cool dude on my team was firing forge guns non-stop at my DS the whole time.
First one caught me off guard, knocked slightly into wall. gentle bump took me down to burning hull but I managed to pro-pilot my way out from under the bridge and rep without dying.
After that I had to compensate by just staying away from the ground or building whole game. But it was bs. |
