Bobcat Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Is anyone else constantly being accused of fraticide (I think that was the word)? Notwithstanding I thought it was some kinky family thing, I'm sure that I've never killed a friendly. In fact, the last time it happened I religously checked the mission briefing for red or red but coudn't find anything. The only thing I can think of is that my wingman was shot down (not by me). Any ideas? Bobcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thx1137 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well. When I first started playing I was targetting the RED guys. Whoops! I must be to used to playing "the other side" :-) When I have been accused I did shoot my own team so, no, no problem here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSWedge Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Last night I tried the Convoy Hunt mission. I was able to take out three vehicles in one of the convoys before I had to turn and run because of SAM launches. I returned to base in my damaged helo I did have a rough landing which damaged the lower rotor. When I exited to the mission debrief I was accused of Fraticide. I also did not have any red on red kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemises Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The game is so realistic, that even the kill reporting at the end of a mission has an element of randomness to it, just like the real world! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasder Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I got my ideas on this. I know that they may be a bit far fetched, but still. I've done blue on red and gotten the same thing. 1. Do you have a "mission"? Like CAS, ground attack and such and not just "nothing"? I wonder if this matters, if you are not supposed to kill anyone but you do it anyways? 2. Is an attack area attached to a waypoint? Kind of the same reasoning as above, if you don't have a target area to work within. Then are you really supposed to attack anyone? /Nasder, "I came, I saw, I got shot down." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrin Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Did you take out a neutral building? Could've been from collateral damage? Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjolner Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 "Fratricide" at least in the strategic world is the inadvertent destruction of warheads by other warheads, there by effecting total damage done to the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepski Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think it happens when you choose, for example, a US pilot in the logbook then play a mission as a Russian and kill US targets in the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcat Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Shepski I think you are right, I may be flying with a US pilot (in a Russian aircraft lol). I will check next time because its happening a lot and like I said I've carefully checked the mission de-brief afterwards for red-on-red. This is probabby one of the best sims I've ever played and obviously a labour of love for those concerned. It will become a classic up there with IL2 etc. Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. When flying with a pilot from the US in the logbook I got those messages in missions I created using US equipment. Now I'm flying with a Russian pilot in the logbook and have not gotten any fratricide messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
