169th_Dredd Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 The other night myself and squadron wingman were flying on the 504 server. We were heading across the bay pass a frigate to our 5oclock, when suddenly my wingman reports hes been fired on from his rear,then I see tracers fly past my canopy. We went defensive and I checked six, thinking a bandit was on our six trying to gun us down. But it was a friendly frigate that was firing upon us. Why he was firing at us we had no idea, and I'm pretty sure it was another captains frigate further out that had a lovely daughter my wingman met once, so a motive was out of the question. :P Any once else encountered friendly fire from ships yet at low alt.? P.S We were flying Hogs. ---= 169th Panthers -Flt Lt.- =--- http://www.169thpanthers.com.au AMD64 S939 3700 | 2GB Corsair DDR500 | 21" CRT ATI Radeon X800Pro | 2x36GB WD Raptors | SB Audigy TIR3 | TM-868 | X52 | CH Pedals | Creative 5.1 Spkrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
504 Wolverine Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 You sure it was a friendly ship? By the sounds of it I think it was the Kerch Strait mission you were flying and there is 2 russian ships on the Caucus side of the strait. They would be a bit trigger happy with hog's.

169th_Dredd Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Must of been friendly. Because we turned to get even and bombed it to smitherens, and received -2000 points for our efforts. ---= 169th Panthers -Flt Lt.- =--- http://www.169thpanthers.com.au AMD64 S939 3700 | 2GB Corsair DDR500 | 21" CRT ATI Radeon X800Pro | 2x36GB WD Raptors | SB Audigy TIR3 | TM-868 | X52 | CH Pedals | Creative 5.1 Spkrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

169th_Dredd Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Unfortunately no. We'll try and fly by them again some time and reproduce the incident. ---= 169th Panthers -Flt Lt.- =--- http://www.169thpanthers.com.au AMD64 S939 3700 | 2GB Corsair DDR500 | 21" CRT ATI Radeon X800Pro | 2x36GB WD Raptors | SB Audigy TIR3 | TM-868 | X52 | CH Pedals | Creative 5.1 Spkrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaman Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Well, friendly fire does happen a lot in reality, doesn't it ;) Maybe it's LockON's unintentional feature :) 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazehound Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 This has been a bug for a while now. I thought it was well known. Before 1.1 it was all sams, since then it is ships occasionally. I have had it on Jabogs' server a long while ago, as well as 504....it is quite alarming to lift off the Kuz and then be nailed by its escort! If you die and respawn it will go away, and someone told me once that asking for takeoff clearance stops it....but of course the bug is so intermittent that you can never test it well.

169th_Dredd Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hmm have to test it again and see the results. Cant remember if we had ECM on, which could have signaled us as a threat. Cant count on it though. Will report further with a track if I see the mission up again. ---= 169th Panthers -Flt Lt.- =--- http://www.169thpanthers.com.au AMD64 S939 3700 | 2GB Corsair DDR500 | 21" CRT ATI Radeon X800Pro | 2x36GB WD Raptors | SB Audigy TIR3 | TM-868 | X52 | CH Pedals | Creative 5.1 Spkrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
504 Wolverine Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I knew about the SAM friendly fire bug, and have been a victim to it many times but it's the first time I heard of a ship using guns. They usually try to down you with sams. [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S77th-GOYA Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 It's simply the FF bug. You usually don't see cannon fire because you're usually not in range, would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazehound Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 There is a mission on the server which has Molinya class frigates, they dont have sams, just AAA (although it is radar guided). I imagine you were going over freindly ones after leaving kerch? VVS504 Red Hammers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
169th_Dredd Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Yeah mate. Round H030-050, just off the harbour area of Kerch, if I recall correctly. ---= 169th Panthers -Flt Lt.- =--- http://www.169thpanthers.com.au AMD64 S939 3700 | 2GB Corsair DDR500 | 21" CRT ATI Radeon X800Pro | 2x36GB WD Raptors | SB Audigy TIR3 | TM-868 | X52 | CH Pedals | Creative 5.1 Spkrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
504 Wolverine Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Ah yeah, that explains it. I thought it was the Albatros frigate to the south not the Molinya corvettes at Kerch. Doh [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 So guys, was there a FF or not (I've been mazed by numerous posts :) ). With Best Regards! Daniel Tuseyev Il-2: Battle of Stalingrad and Rise Of Flight projects manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S77th-Dante Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 han, there has been several friendly fire bug reports. and i can confirm 1 from last night . it is mostly due to the way clients enter the server online. example the previous client client 6, leaves from blue goes to sleep, a new player comes in and he gets client 6 slot, but joins red. this is where the bug happens. this is also why it happens to only some people seemingly at random.
