"Fracticide"

[Valkenswaard]

Don't know if this one is already posted somewhere, could'nt find it.

 

When engaging ground units with bombs, upon releasing the bombs and then crashing into the ground afterwards because of a too steep dive angle (:doh:) I get the message "you have commited fracticide". I think the game registers hitting myself with the bombs due to shrapnel and then crashing into the ground killing a friendly unit, namely myself. If at all it should be saying "you have comitted suicide" :D. I think this should be fixed because your stats are being reset in the logbook due to friendly kills. It's not that bad at the moment because of the logbook being broke anyway but still...

Does seem a little harsh to call it fratricide. Sort of adds insult to injury!

I have always thought clearing all your kills because you accidentally kill yourself or another friendly is too harsh.

 

Ideally you should be penalized on a per unit basis so killing yourself should only remove one air to air kill IMO. Likewise for ground units, etc.

This isn't a Mig21 issue though, this is a DCS issue.

Agreed, I have done this in the Dora, and instead of crashing because of the dive angle, I crash because the bomb inflicts too much damage on me to keep flying, lol!

I dunno, blowing yourself up with your own bombs seems like it would come with a pretty heavy punishment in real life ;)

I remember in lofc2 I dropped a bomb in ccip, pulled up hit myself and got promoted to major... Don't know about fracticide though..

[Valkenswaard]

It should just count as death! Nothing else. Dying is punishment enough for your mistake.
