Friendly Fire/Collision

[PhilipJFry]

Hello dear FAF citizens!

Friendly Fire and Projectile Collision with allied units is something that bothers me quite a bit in Teamgames.
There are a lot of weapons that will either damage your allied player or just collide with allied units without doing dmg while not damaging/colliding with your own units.

I think that units of allied players should behave the same way as your own.

This would make mixed armies (mix of 2 different allied players not 2 factions for 1 player) less annoying and also remove the ability to teamkill in a lot of scenarios.

There are mods in the vault that can achieve this already but they unrate games due to the nature of sim mods.

What do you guys think about this topic?

One balance consideration with this is that you will become able to block for your allied commanders without them having to hold fire or switch targets to not hit you in the back. Everything else is already achievable by transferring the ownership of units.

Please integrate so people stop teamkilling my navy!

yes, i already asked in slack to integrate this mod (betterally) which remove friendly fire and let bullet go through unit.
by removing friendly i don't mean removing friendly fire from a T3 arty shell for example.
I already played game where i was able to put my com in front of my low HP ally, and we were able to retreat vs a big army. 2 com shooting while going back is quite good, so we may consider not allowing this integration for com on com fire (though it's bad to make exception imo). I mean changing doesn't mean it would be bad either.
I really think this can improve the team play overall, and i think it is a must need. Gameplay wise and logically wise it makes sense.
i don't remember if aura regen does work on ally unit too now, but that would be a nice addition also for example.

Why is everyone acting like shooting your allied acu in the back and doing damage is a functional part of the game? I would be more than happy to see it being removed.

Yes lets dumb the game down even more

[Farmsletje]

Dw the gameplay got a lot smarter when you stopped playing so we can afford some dumbing down

[TheKoopa]

Nah it was pretty smart already when maa was buffed
