I suspect if I had the almighty power to boot and ban (and NOBODY wants me to have that), I'd probably see a lot less teamkilling myself. You and many of the other mods are mentioned regularly on world chat and obviously on the forum. I don't speed when I see a cop. Do you? I think this may be part, not all, of the reason you seem to see it less than others. What you see are truly idiotic or ignorant or both.

I don't think I can claim hangar immunity as an original idea, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Now, there is ONE imperfection with the perfect Immune Hangar idea. When an enemy tank makes it to the base and starts wreaking havoc around the hangars, one of the tradeoffs in defense tactics is whether to bomb the tank -- in trying to bomb him, you might take out your own hangar. And enemy tanks use hangars for cover for this very reason.

I think it's a fun tradeoff to manage, and I've been both the enemy tank and the base defender.

However, I'd give up that dynamic if it meant removing a key attraction for Friendly Hangar Bombing nitwits.

This prompts the question; does immunity code apply to an area on the map or to an object? If it's an area that allows for being occupied by more than the object - in this case a red tank lurking alongside a blue hangar - there would be that tradeoff. If the code says, "<object=hangar=immune> bombing a red tank would be more viable than it is, the risk of taking out your own hangar having been removed.

No one has ever bombed me when my tank was inside their base, they just circle around and gun me to bits. I feel a little...neglected. Hold me.

I've bombed my own hangar(s) to kill a tank, but only when it was a single or a double side by side, for fear of getting a triple and the autoboot. Wig, next opportunity you present with, I'll help ya out.

Another observation... until yesterday, I hadn't updated and seen the new hangars. I saw Wig's earlier comment about how easy it is to hit your own, if you had to drop to defend against a close red and thought he was exaggerating a little. MAN THEY'RE ENORMOUS !!! You're right, I will certainly be taking them out at some point. It would be unavoidable.

Yeah even I can hit them now.
